Error trying to use example from README #29

I'm having a problem getting the menu to work as described. I must admit I'm new to awesome and Lua, but I do code proficiently in other languages.

For reference, this is my rc.lua Just trying to test out radical, I stuck the demo code in starting on line 262 and added the text box to the top left corner of the screen. The first time I tried this, I had the code to generate the sub-menu uncommented. Awesome will not load the file like this and this is the error I get. radicalerror

I then tried commenting out the item with the sub-menu (exactly like the gist shows). In this case the rc.lua loads ok, but I get this error when right clicking on my text box. radicalerror2

This could easily be my fault, but if that's the case I can't figure out what I could be doing wrong. Help?

Somehow the theme submenu image isn't set. I patched this to check if there is one before using it.

Yeah there's clearly something wrong with my setup. That fixed the error on that line, but now I'm getting an error on the set_menu call.

This is my theme.lua file: https://gist.github.com/ctlajoie/5fccfdeefc2019dbe770#file-theme-lua As you can see I copied/modified it from copycat-killer's holo theme. I added a menu_submenu_icon to see if that was the whole problem. Apparently it is not.

Any ideas what's causing me all these problems?

Elv13 commented 9 years ago

It is another issue related to the submenu arrow widget. Can you give me a copy of the theme so I can reproduce it? I could fix this one based on the backtrace, but I guess there would be a thrid down the road.

ctlajoie commented 9 years ago

I linked my theme file in the previous comment (below the stack trace). I actually did set the menu_submenu_icon to see if that would fix my problem, but it did not fix it.

ctlajoie commented 9 years ago

I figured out what the problem was. I had to copy the default theme into my local themes directory. i.e. cp -r /usr/share/awesome/themes/default ~/.config/awesome/theme/ Is this intentionally required?

Elv13 commented 9 years ago

No, but your rc.lua say the theme is in os.getenv("HOME") .. "/.config/awesome/themes/holo/theme.lua" that theme need the expected variables to be set. If they are not there, strange things will happen. It is still a Radical bug, but I am glad you "solved" it.

ctlajoie commented 9 years ago

I see, thanks for the help. I appreciate it.
