I have this configuration which works great on my work laptop (thinkpad, intel cpu + nvidia graphics with nouveau) I doesn't work on my personal laptop (amd cpu + gpu)
profile home {
output HDMI-A-1 mode 1920x1080 position 0,0
output eDP-1 mode 1920x1080 position 0,1081
exec swaymsg '[workspace=" "]', move workspace to output HDMI-A-1
}
profile default {
output eDP-1 mode 1920x1080 position 0,1081
}
Here are the outputs
❯ swaymsg -t get_outputs

Here is kanshi ouput when plugin the HP display :
❯ kanshi
applying profile 'default'
applying profile output 'eDP-1' on connected head 'eDP-1'
running commands for configuration 'default'

Am I missing something here or is this a bug ?
This sounds like a bug.
I am hitting a similar issue

I have the exact same issue as @rohan47 , this is the kanshi output I get:
applying profile 'home' applying profile output 'eDP-1' on connected head 'eDP-1' applying profile output 'DP-5' on connected head 'DP-5' applying profile output 'DP-7' on connected head 'DP-7' failed to apply configuration for profile 'home'
I have a similar bug with the monitors that are connected through a Thinkpad x250 docking station.
Interestingly, Kanshi recognizes my profile if I start it having the monitors connected, but fails to do so if I reconnect monitors (by undocking and docking back my monitor) while Kanshi is running.
My config file is,
profile builtin { output eDP-1 enable position 0,0 scale 1 } profile docked { output "Goldstar Company Ltd LG IPS FULLHD 604NTDV33634" position 0,0 output "Goldstar Company Ltd LG IPS FULLHD " position 1920,0 output eDP-1 disable }Here's the demonstration of the bug (arrows are my comments),
