Cannot get Window Session Manager to work
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I installed the Window Session Manager under Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and probably got something wrong. I then executed the instructions in the Git repository, but still no luck: when I save a session, I get the error lwsm: save Test UNKNOWN ERROR (Test is the session name I gave).
Here is the output from running lwsm in a terminal:
lwsm: no config file present or it contains invalid json. Creating new one...
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/linux-window-session-manager/lib/utility.js:57
throw err;

@Xen2050 Sorry. Forgot to specify: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. I don't understand your second question. The extension appears, but does not do the job.

This is not a permanent fix, but as a workaround, I found that if you edit /usr/local/lib/node_modules/linux-window-session-manager/lib/utility.js and add
const fs = require('fs');
at the top, then lwsm should work for you.

I had the same issue. to fix it i followed the instuctions from the link above and added the program names and commands to the ~/.lwsm/config.json
For example:
if Sublime Text 3 didnt open, I added to the WM_CLASS_AND_EXECUTABLE_FILE:{
this:
"subl3.Subl3": "subl3"
The first part is the name of the application and the second part is the command that it should run to open it.
Dont forget the "," at the end of the previous entry in the json.
You also have to update the saved session after you change the config.json
