Ags Never launches nor Creates a Widget, Always spits out error regardless of what I have #226

Open MilkJug1 opened 6 months ago

I am a new user to ags, I might be doing something wrong but I have no idea.

Issue

Ags, regardless of config editing, will always be spitting out this error that is below this text, and never launch any widget. I have followed the tutorial to a tee and couldn't seem to get this working, even when using an example.

I have ran ags with the follow command. ags --config $HOME/.config/ags/config.js and the same issues still arise.

(ags:12214): Gjs-WARNING **: 01:08:05.399: JS ERROR: SyntaxError: import declarations may only appear at top level of a module @ /home/milk/.config/ags/config.js:1:0

Now this was when my ~/.config/ags/config.js had looked the very first javascript block from the Configuration part of the wiki, I thought this was due to the fact nothing had been defined in the windows section. So I decided to copy the code from one of the examples, the Simple Bar example to be exact.

[!NOTE] I had already relaunched ags when I had copied the code from the example files in the photo, same errors, but no widget to pop up.

When using the Simple Bar Example files and trying to use ags toggle-window Bar, in order to get the bar to appear, ags spits out an error saying: 

Gjs-Message: 01:18:41.341: JS LOG: WARNING: There is no window named Bar

Now I have no idea what I am doing wrong, or if this is something to do with Javascript, I have reinstalled ags multiple times. For my system info, here it is:

I installed ags from the AUR with paru, now I'm going to manually compile from scratch and see if that fixes. I'm sorry if this issue is bad, I don't really know how to explain this.

I have tried to provide as much info as I can, I see this issue is similar to #55, but it was closed without the person giving the solution.

I can and will provide any more info, if needed, just let me know. Hopefully I gave as much as I was able to.

Weird, what is your gjs version?

gjs --version

Um, sorry to ask, but why was this closed? I still have been having trouble getting this to work. Though, I will try again tomorrow to get it to work.

Okay I think I may have found the issue on why it wasn't working before. For some reason on my system, there is a really old version of ags, I have no idea how it got installed or which package is using it (I even uninstalled everything related to ags that I could find). Looking through the PKGBUILD file from the AUR, I went to see if running the exact path of the excutable would fix it. Now I got a different output, though I am having another issue. It's seperate from Ags as I was dealing with this issue on waybar, but I think I may have figured out why Ags wasn't working before. I, for some weird reason, had a version 0.1.0 of ags.
