SUMMARY

Latte-Dock built from master (commit 4d9f0192c28d23c097e2c4a96bac599500029183) doesn't start.

EXPECTED RESULT

The dock shows up.

1.  Are you using latest master?

Try also:
1. Close Latte
2. Go to .config folder and remove any Latte related files, lattedockrc and latte folder
3. Retry latte-dock --default-layout

4. Does latte folder exist in .config folder?
5. are there any layout files in ~/.config/latte folder?

Pulled 4f9d41cec894521073d8609e0a82ead7f83b8515, removed all config files. Still the same error.

I installed a fresh KDE Neon git-unstable VM today, built Latte-Dock, and I can no longer reproduce this issue. Sorry for the delay!
