How to uninstall Espanso?

Help
1

I have these errors in my journal:

jan 04 01:14:34 pierre-nixos .espanso-wrapped[232277]: 01:14:34 [daemon(232277)] [ERROR] received unexpected exit code from worker 101, exiting

jan 04 01:14:34 pierre-nixos systemd[159755]: espanso.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

But I have no mention of Espando in my configuration, and I am unable to find Espando in my list of services.

I don’t know where this is coming from.

Can you please help me find a way to uninstall it?

I could not find any dependencies declared in the nixpkgs tree. Could you find the binary of it? (if it’s in your path, you can use realpath $(which espanso), otherwise check the systemd service definition via systemctl status)
Then you can call nix why-depends /run/current-system $binarypath to see the dependency brings it in afaik.

3

It should only be coming from services.espanso.enable = true. Are you sure your config does not include that?

4

My configuration is in a directory with multiple files.

grep -R espanso .

Finds nothing.

Please run systemctl cat espanso.service and post the output here.

What does this mean?

systemctl cat espanso.service
No files found for espanso.service.

Okay, in that case try systemctl cat --user espanso.service. I think you also want to run systemctl status espanso.service, it may provide more info.
