    commands:

    • bash -lc './build.sh && exec ./run-voice-gateway.sh'
      color: red

  • title: VAD-Service-Go

Does this block you from using Warp daily?

Yes, this issue prevents me from using Warp daily.

Is this an issue only in Warp?

Yes, I confirmed that this only happens in Warp, not other terminals.

None

Thanks for the report. I can reproduce this and we are looking into it.

@Gbirla06 Can you please confirm if it works if you save to this path? i got to this modal using the Command Palette > Save Launch Configuration. If I use that path, I'm able to see my launch configs (second screenshot)

Out of curiosity, where did you get the path ~/.local/share/warp-terminal/launch_configurations/ from?

Hey — saw your repo.

I usually review APIs from a real integration perspective (how a first-time dev actually experiences it, not QA).

If you’re open, I can do a quick pass and point out anything confusing, inconsistent, or likely to hurt adoption.

No setup needed — just endpoint/sandbox.

No this is not working I have tried this multiple times.

Let's configure this with some valuable tester

@Gbirla06 the main reason why launch configs don't show up in the command palette is if the YAML isn't correctly formatted. Here's the docs with more info. For example, for your case, I was able to get this to show:

I tried updating the right format, but again no luck
