'Failed to find shaders folder!' about recidia-audio-visualizer

[GhostNaN]

Can't say for sure, but it might not be a "could not find file" error we are dealing with. Frankly I should of just included the "ex" variable from the catch. Something like this:

       catch (filesystem::filesystem_error const& ex) {
            if (i == 3) {
                printf("Failed to find shaders folder!\n");
                throw std::runtime_error(ex.what());
                return;
            }
        }

Tell me what it spits out after including this code.

That left me with

what(): filesystem error: directory iterator cannot open directory: No such file or directory [/etc/recidia/shaders/]

and I fixed it by copying the shaders folder to there. Not sure why it only accepts that one path however. I made it print every path it checked and made sure they did actually exist.

Weird issue. But it works now, so thanks for your help!

Edit: Wait, I see what's happening. No matter if it's already found the shaders somewhere else, it will continue looking. If it doesn't find them at the last index, it will throw a runtime error no matter what.

OOOOOHHHHH.... I messed up bad, good work.
I fixed this with this commit: 4865ccc
I know it's a mess, but the solution was quite easy.

        catch (filesystem::filesystem_error const& ex) {
            continue;
        }
    }
    if (shaderFiles.size() == 0)
        throw std::runtime_error("Failed to find any shaders folder!");

If this fixed the problem please close the issue.
Thanks again.

That commit fixed it! :)
