Attempting to run script leads to thread panic.

[mauricioquintela]

Just discovered this script, currently trying to test it out on Arch. After carefully following the README, running the main process of ixwindow (wether through polybar or not) results in the main thread panicking and the script crashing. In attachment I included the full rust backtrace of the panic. backtrace.txt

Hi! Thank you for bringing it up! It seems, something is wrong with detection generate-icon file. Can you, please, provide your installation profile for i3?

[mauricioquintela]

Hey, no worries. i3 version returns i3 version 4.22 (2023-01-02). I'm not sure what the "installation profile" for i3 is? Is it the config file?

[andreykaere]

When you install, you have profiles folder, where you can modify files bspwm.toml and i3.toml. Did you modify the latter? If so, kindly send it, so that I can reproduce the issue.

If you didn't modify, then check if there is file generate-icon in ~/.config/polybar/scripts/ixwindow folder. If it's not there, and you didn't change installation profile (i3.toml), than it's weird. It would be helpful if you could find it (you can do it for example with find . -name "generate-icon"). If it will find it, please, tell me the location. If not, let me know that it's just not on your system.

Oh, those profile files. I did not touch them when installing.

There is indeed a generate-icon file in ~/.config/polybar/scripts/ixwindow, as expected.

Okay, I found what's causing the problem. Will deliver a patch for it with next commit! Thank you again for drawing my attention to it!

[mauricioquintela]

Thank you for your help as well. Looking forward to testing the script myself :)

[andreykaere]

Let me know how it works out for you!:)
