This is (kind of) buggy or has weired behavior.
$ awesome --check
✔ Configuration file syntax OK.
$ vi .config/awesome/rc.lua
(now, I introduce an abvious error in my rc.lua)
$ awesome --check
/home/dogguy/.config/awesome/rc.lua:62: '}' expected (to close '{' at line 53)
near '['
✔ Configuration file syntax OK.
$ echo $?
0
Could be this fixed at least?
- Do not show “✔ Configuration file syntax OK.” when it's not OK.
- Do not exit with code 0 when it's not OK.
