can't switch to named workspace in hyperland if the workspace name includes certain characters (e.g. /) #2883

When I name my workspaces in hyprland, I see the titles in waybar with the hyprland/workspaces module, but if I click on the name, it does not switch to the workspace. If I have just numeric IDs for the workspace, clicking does change the workspace.

I'm on Fedora 39 with waybar 0.9.24.

Thanks

waybar-config.json

jdratlif commented 7 months ago

okay, I must have done something wrong in my config. It's working fine.

jdratlif commented 7 months ago

Okay, I found the problem. If I put | characters in my workspace name, I cannot click on them. This worked on the sway/workspaces plugin.

Are there any relevant logs you can share if you turn on trace logging when running Waybar?

Also, can you edit the title to better reflect the issue?

jdratlif commented 7 months ago

I edited the title. The workspace name I was using before was 'Slack / Notes / Terminals'. I changed it to 'Slack - Notes - Terminals' and things work fine.

I'm not sure what logs you're referring to. How do I enable trace logging? Do I need to start waybar from the cli with an environment variable or something?

Yes, you can start waybar from the cli with the -l trace argument, like this:

waybar --config <path-to-config.json> --style <path-to-style.css> -l trace

trace-log.txt

I updated my hyprland config. I named 4 workspaces.

1: Kitty Terminal - Waybar with Trace Logging 2: Foot / With Slashes 3: Thunar | With Pipes 4: Firefox - With Dashes

I launched kitty, foot, thunar, and firefox on the four workspaces. I killed waybar (pkill waybar) I relaunched waybar on workspace "1" with waybar -l trace 2>&1 | tee trace-log.txt I tried to move between the 4 workspaces. Sometimes with key bindings (MOD + #), sometimes by clicking on waybar.

I can move to any workspace with keybindings. I can move to 3 of the 4 workspaces with waybar. Workspace "2: Foot / With Slashes" I cannot move to with waybar. I click on the section in waybar and it does nothing.

I see nothing special in the trace logs, but maybe you will see something I don't. It looks like waybar sent the message to hyprland, but it did not work. Other than the slash (/) in the workspace name, I see nothing special about that workspace. I had no problems in Sway, and I have no problems with keybinds in hyprland. This doesn't mean it's not a problem with hyprland, but I thought it made more sense to check with waybar first.

Thanks
