"cannot focus window" #6

Closed bendem closed 8 years ago

bendem commented 8 years ago

Just cloned the repo, and built this tool. Running ./i3-easyfocus prints cannot focus window and does nothing.

I'm running 1f3274c with https://github.com/acrisci/i3ipc-glib/commit/8261412.

Thanks for reporting! Can you please do a make clean debug and paste the output when running ./i3-easyfocus again?

Oh good point! The ids should be unsigned; I was just following the docs from i3ipc-glib where it is signed.

Could you try with the branch issue6 whether it works?

bendem commented 8 years ago

Same result, different ipc error message: https://gist.github.com/bendem/3a97e6991744d75ea21cdc176b44e290#file-gistfile2-txt

The con_id seems to be already overflowing when it is handled by i3ipc-glib as a gint, which is 4 bytes on my system. In i3, the con_id is actually the address of the corresponding con struct and is handled as a long when being printed or read - with a size of 8 bytes here.

This happens when I move a nested window out of its container, I cannot focus it anymore.

cornerman commented 5 years ago

@Radivarig Which version of i3ipc-glib are you using? This issue was fixed in i3ipc-glib with this commit https://github.com/acrisci/i3ipc-glib/commit/a7a29cf08221a180d747926b1715de1597cff768. Sadly, the last released version 0.6.0 does not include this fix :/

For a more detailed log of your problem, you can do:

make clean debug
./i3-easyfocus

It should give a more detailed output about what happens.

@cornerman ah.. you are correct. My version is 0.6.0. Thanks
