copy-to-clipboard failing to find existing external utilities #3419

Closed xelxebar closed 3 months ago

xelxebar commented 3 months ago

Describe the bug

The various copy- family commands fail, displaying the following error in the message area:

Warning: Error on separate thread: None of the commands are installed: ("/gnu/store/nqjk5zd1r9p7cm9b2yvn26w5ppbhjlbk-wl-clipboard-2.2.1/bin/wl-copy" "xclip" "/gnu/store/fl49cx8q68ic08b71ysj37shqgq5d5rq-xsel-1.2.0-1.062e6d3/bin/xsel")

Note that the referenced abosulute paths do exist in my store, and xclip is installed in my user profile. Also, ctrl-c and ctrl-v work as expected in text fields.

@xelxebar thanks for reporting.

I can't reproduce. What's the output of nyxt --quit --eval "trivial-clipboard::(find-copy-command)"?

Note that Guix packages sbcl-trivial-clipboard with xsel, not xclip. That means that you don't need to have either of these in your profile.

Update:

I'm almost sure env var XDG_SESSION_TYPE isn't set and that's why it can't find the clipboard commands. If you set it to x11 or wayland, then it should work. XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11 nyxt --quit --eval "trivial-clipboard::(find-copy-command)".

I've sent a patch so that the clipboard commands are always found on X11.

I'm almost sure you didn't set env var XDG_SESSION_TYPE

Dang. You're friggin' on point. That did the trick. I wasn't even aware of that particular XDG_* variable. Thank you for investigating this and even bumping the trivial-clipboard commit.
