Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/JakeStanger/ironbar/issues/538

When adding volume section the config isn't loaded.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:
add this section to config.toml

[[start]]                             
type = "volume"                       
format = "{icon} {percentage}% {name}"                                                    
                                     
[[start.icons]]                       
volume_high = ""                     
volume_medium = ""                   
volume_low = ""                      
muted = ""

restart ironbar

The error suggests your config is invalid, and has nothing to do with the volume module. Please share the full config and I can help.

Please also in future use code blocks for formatting to keep things tidy & readable, cheers.

The volume module is currently only available on the git build(0.15.0-pre). I'm targeting a point release in the next week or two.

I found there were issues with several TOML examples off the back of #555, including with the volume one. These have been resolved, so I am considering this fixed.

If this is not the case, please let me know.
