How to add my own pattern?

[polyglot-jones]

I'm just getting started here, directly invoking patterns from the client. I ran a couple of the existing patterns. So far, so good. Next, I tried writing my own, new, pattern. I created a new subfolder within the patterns folder and populated it with a system.md file. I then did fabric -u followed by fabric -p my_new_pattern, but fabric can't find my new pattern. What am I doing wrong? I don't see anything in the readme file on this topic.

Did you put your new pattern in .config/fabric/patterns?

[RoeslerM]

Ah, that solved also my issue. I thought I have to put that in fabric/pattern.
Does it has to be in both directories ? Then best as symbolic link ?

[xssdoctor]

No only in the .config directory

"fabric --update" overrides may custom patterns under /.config/fabric/patterns/ ... what can i do?

[xssdoctor]

It working perfectly. but I think I know what your problem is. the patterns are loaded from .config/fabric/patterns not from fabric/patterns. You should completely ignore fabric/patterns in fact. Put your custom patterns in .config/fabric/patterns. Run update after that and please confirm that everything is working

[nic0711]

I had done it like this. (Only created in the ./config/... path)
Since I wanted to do it particularly "right", I "obviously" created and saved the patterns exclusively in the folder - without backups, of course <>

I'll try it again with other patterns and then let you know.

[nic0711]

... still deleting custom folders

Maybe i need an update of fabric core? ... git clone.. ?

Update:
Just saw that: "git pull; pipx upgrade fabric; fabric --update; source ~/.zshrc (or ~/.bashrc)"

--> zsh: unknown sort specifier

[xssdoctor]

Yeah you have to git pull then pipx upgrade fabric

[nic0711]

SOLVED:

cd /../fabric
"git pull; pipx upgrade fabric; fabric --update; source ~/.zshrc (or ~/.bashrc)" did the job

After the update of the fabric core it seems to work now.

Do I need to run any comments once I added or updated existing new pattern? The latest version will be used automatically?
