Clock widget, mismatched locale

[alttabber]

The clock widget and the calendar have mismatched locales: the calendar shows up with the correct locale, meanwhile, the clock itself is stuck in english. Forcing a locale in the config does nothing.

OS: Arch Wybar version: Git Output of locale:

LC_CTYPE="it_IT.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="it_IT.utf8"
LC_TIME="it_IT.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="it_IT.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="it_IT.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="it_IT.utf8"
LC_PAPER="it_IT.utf8"
LC_NAME="it_IT.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="it_IT.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="it_IT.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="it_IT.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="it_IT.utf8"
LC_ALL=

Where's the log output of running waybar directly from terminal? May forget to run locale-gen?

Re-running locale-gen and restarting was the first thing I tried, and didn't help, and if that was the issue, I guess manually overriding it in the config.json would have fixed it, which it didn't, and I would expect both the clock its calendar tooltip to default to C, not one to use the correct locale and the other C.

Here's a sample output:

Nothing that even remotely mentions the clock or any locale errors. Debug and trace outputs aren't any more helpful: just all the attempts to find a config file and display stuff.

Also, I can confirm that the problem goes away if I use the stable version instead of the git version.

I've just finished a git bisect.

This commit introduced the bug: https://github.com/Alexays/Waybar/commit/86a38980e4a2eb242379b9221b06784d3e0d3eef (and of course it's a commit with 700 changes, I'm not gonna investigate exactly what happened there.) @Alexays

Let me check

Having the same issue myself. LC_TIME is just being ignored. Setting have_chrono_timezones = false forces it to work as intended.

I experience the same problem on v0.10.0. Calendar is displayed with the correct locale but clock (%a and %B specifically) is stuck in English even when locale is explicitly set in the config. Nothing related in logs.

Can confirm problems with locale (fallback to English) after update to v.0.10.0.

[violent1401]

Also has problems with locale after update to v0.10.0. (English by default instead of russian)

It seems that locale-awareness for the C++20 chrono module isn't implemented. I still get the English version even I add the L letter according to the format doc.

I edited the wrong widget (I have one clock per output but edited for a disconnected one). With an L it works for me: {:L%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %A}.

Same here. Guess this one just requires an update on the documentation, in the meantime I've hot fixed the wiki page.

Not closing since someone has to come up with the final text and update the man pages, and I'm not that someone. Or maybe Alexays can decide to add that L to every string in it isn't there.
