Debug mode about bumblebee-status HOT 8 CLOSED

Hi,

unfortunately, right now, the only way is to start bumblebee-status on the commandline (e.g. bumblebee-status -m xrandr) and "simulate" the i3 event (using https://i3wm.org/docs/i3bar-protocol.html).

For example, starting the tool and then writing { "name": "<display name>", "instance": "<instance ID from regular output>", "button": 1 } and pressing enter should simulate a left-click on the widget.

I will keep this issue open, anyhow, and work on a way to debug (optional debug file, maybe a debug widget?) as soon as I have time.

In case you encounter further issues, the following information would help me troubleshoot the problem:

• output of xrandr -q
• output of bumblebee-status -m xrandr for a few seconds (just to see names, IDs, etc.)

Thanks!

Thanks for the response! This actually seems like a quite reasonable way to debug it.
I'll look into this when I get the chance. I'll let you know if I find something interesting.

And here's the outputs you asked for:

It doesn't change after that.

There actually seems to be a bigger problem because for some reason, the entire status fails if one of my outputs is available but not on.

I'm not saying I know I'll be able to do that, but would you be open to receiving a patch from me with a fix? Or any other if I had some time to work on something in the future?

from bumblebee-status.

Absolutely, patches and pull requests are always welcome! :-)

Could you maybe paste the error that happens when you execute bumblebee-status with one output off? It's probably an exception related to the way I'm parsing the xrandr output.

Could you please do a git pull and retry? Maybe the problem reported in #59 also caused your issues...

from bumblebee-status.

Hi, just did it, all of my problems ceased to exist.

Thanks for the help. I'm loving the status bar so far! I'll keep an eye on any bugs or potential enhancements.

from bumblebee-status.

Glad to hear that, thanks! (And thanks to @llomellamomario , who actually found the issue).

BTW, on a completely unrelated note: Since you are using the xrandr module, you might be interested in https://github.com/tobi-wan-kenobi/bumblebee-status/wiki/xrandr, an undocumented feature I've just got around to documenting 😄

from bumblebee-status.

Wow, that hidden magic looks interesting. I'll definitely check it out ;)
