I have a working configuration I'm trying to run from a terminal using warp://launch/<launch_configuration_path> but the documentation doesn't show how the path is supposed to look like, and nothing I tried works.
#warp://launch/ not working

Hi @barren stream. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
The warp://launch/ command is used to open a specific launch configuration in Warp. However, the path you provide should be the name of the launch configuration file, not the full path to the file.
For example, if you have a launch configuration file named Tunnel.yaml, you would use the command warp://launch/Tunnel to open it. You do not need to include the .yaml extension or the full path to the file.
If you're still having trouble, make sure your launch configuration file is saved in the correct location. For Linux, the path should be ${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}/warp-terminal/launch_configurations/. For macOS, the path should be ~/.warp/launch_configurations/.
If the issue persists, it could be a bug. There have been reports of issues with the warp:// protocol causing Warp to crash if it's not already running, as well as issues with launch configurations not appearing in the launch configuration palette even when they're in the correct directory[^1^][^2^].

this does nothing

There is a known issue with Launch Configs... (at least there was last time I asked cause I had a problem with it awhile back and didn't keep up with the issue after I solved my own)...
I can only test this on macOS right now and I know you're on Linux so you may have to tweak some of the following to match your system...
If you have brew you can install the cli helper tool that will let you open this the way you are trying... (I believe this is intended to be built in better at a future date)... (If you don't use brew, try using your package managers to search for warp-cli)
It looks like based on your screenshot you're in the right location for the file... so you can do the following:
# Install the warp-cli if you don't have it yet
brew install warp-cli
# Install the CLI using whatever package manager from your system if brew isn't available
# With warp-cli installed, if you have your configuration created in the proper location (listed above)
warp-cli launch -c <ConfigName>
The <ConfigName> is NOT the name of the file, but the name given in the file if you set it up properly.

there is no package in my distribution's repositories and I can't find it on the homebrew website either, can you give a link?
mild eagle
I don't have the link... I'll have to look... (I asked the AI in Warp on my Mac and gave you the instructions it gave me) 🙂
Which OS are you on? (I'm guessing/assuming Arch Linux?) 🙂
barren stream
yes

@stiff pasture is there the warp-cli available on Arch Linux and how to install it if it's available?
stiff pastureBOT
Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
Warp is indeed available for Arch Linux. You can install it by downloading the .pkg.tar.zst package from the Warp website[^1^][^3^][^4^][^5^]. After downloading, you can install the package with the following command:
sudo pacman -U ./<file>.pkg.tar.zst
Replace <file> with the name of the downloaded package.
However, please note that there is an open issue on GitHub about Warp not launching on Arch Linux[^6^]. If you encounter this issue, you might want to follow the thread for updates or potential solutions.
Also, there is a feature request for making Warp available in the Arch User Repository (AUR)[^7^]. If this feature is important to you, you can add a thumbs up to the original post to signal your interest.

Here's a link to homebrew:

I tried finding the package on their website but couldn't
earnest jewel
Some packages are only available for Mac, keep that in mind.
barren stream
wouldn't it still show on the website?
earnest jewel
It should, I don't see a packages for warp-cli either..
brew search warp

This page seems to have some example info...
https://docs.warp.dev/features/sessions/launch-configurations
Like it shows the path example for Linux as:
${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}/warp-terminal/launch_configurations/
But I agree, that doc needs some extra details added, it's not too user friendly. Seems to be written for the Warp devs that know the system fully.

yes, that's the path where you're supposed to place the configs
the terminal recognizes them but no matter how I format the url it won't run

out of the 3 only launch is not working

The bug I mentioned (not sure if it's Mac related only or not) was similar to what you're describing... I couldn't run the command either, but at least on Mac if you look in the Menu bar you can manually launch the config there (if it's in the right location) and then tell Warp to just keep/save tabs and it'll load that each time (so it'll run commands from it and make the tabs you want...) but if you for example close a single tab then close Warp and open it again it'll be missing that tab... at that point, you want to close all tabs and run the config from the menu again to 'reset' it.
They did say they are working on it but at least at the time this isn't a well known or highly used feature so it's a little low on the priority list.
