Plugin cannot find .vrapperrc

[ahelwer]

I have a .vrapperrc at /home/ahelwer/.vrapperrc. This is confirmed by running the following in my Java project, mirroring the logic of the plugin itself:

File config = new File(new File(System.getProperty("user.home")), ".vrapperrc");
System.out.println(config.toString());
System.out.println(config.exists());

which outputs

/home/ahelwer/.vrapperrc
true

However despite this, if I go to Help > About Eclipse IDE > Installation Details > Configuration > View Error Log then there are numerous lines saying:

!ENTRY net.sourceforge.vrapper.eclipse 1 0 2024-02-15 09:54:16.619
!MESSAGE No .vrapperrc or _vrapperrc found.

Why could this be? I am running arch linux and installed the plugin from the eclipse marketplace yesterday.

did you find a solution?

No

From looking at the code
https://github.com/vrapper/vrapper/blob/master/net.sourceforge.vrapper.core/src/net/sourceforge/vrapper/vim/DefaultEditorAdaptor.java#L279
and your trial, it should work.
If there is an override, the logging would be different. As well if there would be a problem when reading the file.

Is perhaps the value of "user.home" different between the program that you start from Eclipse and what Eclipse sees itself?
Please double check in Help > About Eclipse IDE > Installation Details > Configuration

My first guess is whether Eclipse is being run in flatpak or snapcraft, at which point those might try to play with the HOME / user.home variable to keep programs from polluting the user home directory with incompatible versions of config files.
