Opening edex from rofi - Githubissues

Problem

Something I started noticing back in v2.2.0, but I can't launch edex-ui from my rofi launcher anymore. I'm not sure if this is a rofi issue or an edex-ui issue. Launching from terminal works fine, it just means I have to keep the terminal window open.

Using rofis ability to open a terminal upon application launch (as I'm not sure if/where logs are for edex) I was able to capture this.

Could you give me the output of running /usr/bin/zsh -ilc 'echo -n "_SHELL_ENV_DELIMITER_"; env; echo -n "_SHELL_ENV_DELIMITER_"; exit'?

_SHELL_ENV_DELIMITER_

GitSquared commented 4 years ago

The error comes from here, but I can't seem to reproduce it, even by emulating your env...

What distro are you on?

Solace7 commented 4 years ago

Antergos. It's arch based.

GitSquared commented 4 years ago

Perhaps Rofi is doing some cleanup on the env before launching programs.

/usr/bin/zsh -ilc 'echo -n "_SHELL_ENV_DELIMITER_"; env; echo -n "_SHELL_ENV_DELIMITER_"; exit'?

Could you try putting that into a .sh or something and launching it from Rofi this time?

If there's no difference then we'll have to look somewhere else.

Looks the same apart from some tmux information.

Solace7 commented 4 years ago

I've installed dmenu which is similar to rofi and appear to have the same issue. So it isn't just rofi it seems. Another thing that I'm noticing is that running edex-ui from rofi/dmenu spawns a couple other processes edex-ui --type=zygote. When I run it from the command line itself though, other processes are also started.

I see in the terminal "success Settings loaded!" but after that nothing.

Indeed, everything works with this one too...

running edex-ui from rofi/dmenu spawns a couple other processes edex-ui --type=zygote.

This is expected.

I see in the terminal "success Settings loaded!" but after that nothing.

Not even an error?

Solace7 commented 4 years ago

No error. I did some extra testing. I firstly tried loading edex-ui from GNOMEs application launcher. This did the same thing as rofi and dmenu. I then created a new user, tried and it works fine. So something specific to my users configuration is what's causing it and not necessarily anything wrong with edex-ui itself. The exact cause I have yet to find out.

Whatever the case may be it'll be something that a regular terminal doesnt interact with when trying to launch an application, but external "application launchers" do.

GitSquared commented 4 years ago

This is probably not an issue with edex itself so I'm going to close this. If you ever find out more about this I'd be curious to hear it though.
