hs.spaces.moveWindowToSpace not working about hammerspoon HOT 10 OPEN

See this commit for a SIP friendly (enabled) solution koekeishiya/yabai@98bbdbd

A little note/mention/credit would be appreciated if my solution is used.

I can confirm @koekeishiya's suggestions seems to work (at least for now, curse you Apple!). I need to do some more testing and it will probably be a couple of days before I can put together a formal pull-request (though I'm fine if someone else wants to have a go at it sooner).

@koekeishiya, what type of notification would you consider appropriate? Normally, I will add comments in the source as to where specific changes/additions are from and add a line or two with links in the documentation (both internal to Hammerspoon and what is ultimately published in our pages) for the relevant module. If you'd like something more, or if there are other licensing concerns, let us know!

Facing the same issue, 14.4.1 worked, but after 14.5, not any more.

It appears macOS 14.5 changed some functions to protected which could be the reason for our symptoms.
Yabai is facing the same issue. More details there: koekeishiya/yabai#2240 (comment)

Looks like they were able to achieve the same functionality in another way: koekeishiya/yabai@7bacdd5

I've observed that it still works for me with Hammerspoon's own windows, but not with any other app's windows.

@cmsj, it looks to me like yabai added the function to their script injection payload; without doing something similiar (requiring SIP changes and an elevated permissions helper app) I'm not sure we'll be able to accomplish the same.

It might be better to see how closely we can work with yabai and come up with a module/spoon/process for utilizing it as our "helper" or "companion" app.

from hammerspoon.

Aha. Yeah closer integration with yabai is an interesting option. We could also just get out of the business of pretending that Apple wants us interacting with Spaces in the first place 😬

from hammerspoon.

If hammerspoon can't directly invoke an Apple method to move a window to a space, it would still be nice to provide a utility function to accomplish this same task manually. Similar to how hs.spaces.gotoSpace() opens Mission Control and programatically clicks the desired space.

Here's a work-around replacement for hs.spaces.moveWindowToSpace(): mogenson/PaperWM.spoon@3b48e6b

It involves programmatically clicking a window's title bar, switching to a space, and dragging the window to the new space. This has the limitation that you can't move a window to or from a non-visible space, but it's better than nothing.

Note: I tried this with hs.window:move(), but I couldn't get this method to pick up and hold a window while the space transitions like a mouse click does. Still, it would be nice to accomplish this without having to hijack the user's mouse cursor.

That will do just fine.
