Espanso doesn't start despite no other process running

[Archie]

Describe the bug
Espanso refuses to start with espanso start even when espanso status says espanso is not running.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Close espanso
2. Start espanso with espanso start

The output will be as follows:

unable to start service: timed out
Hint: sometimes this happens because another Espanso process is left running for some reason.
     Please try running 'espanso restart' or manually killing all Espanso processes, then try again.

4. Do espanso restart, and observe this:

espanso is not running!
unable to start service: timed out
Hint: sometimes this happens because another Espanso process is left running for some reason.
     Please try running 'espanso restart' or manually killing all Espanso processes, then try again.

Expected behavior
espanso will run when I type espanso start and hit Return ⮐

Thanks for this report and the logs.

Based on the error seen in your logs, it looks like compilation of the XKB keymap is failing for some reason.

Does localectl list-x11-keymap-layouts list en-in as an available layout?

Assuming you want the English (India, with rupee) keyboard, try setting the below in your espanso config:

keyboard_layout: 
  layout: "in"
  variant: "eng"
