Popups on Wayland

[Elinvynia]

Hello!

I am using LSP which uses mdpopups to dislay the docs of an item when you hover it, however they are not appearing for me. Other sublime features seem to work fine (like the right click context menu). I'd be happy to help with providing more useful information if necessary.

I'm running ST4 on Arch with SwayWM

1. If you've installed something that recently uses mdpopups, make sure you restart Sublime to make sure mdpopups gets loaded up properly.

2. If you are having issues, look in your Sublime console to see if there are errors, then post the errors here.

3. If there are no errors in the console from mdpopups, then I would assume the issue is with LSP.

The isssue could be LSP, is there something minimal I can do to rule that out and reproduce the intended behavior?

[facelessuser]

Sure

1. open console
2. if using Sublime Text 4 right click the input box in the console and select Python 3.3 (skip this step if on ST3).
3. Make sure your cursor is on the top most line to make sure it shows up (so it's not covered by the console window).
4. Enter the following lines in the console:

   import mdpopups
   mdpopups.version()
   mdpopups.show_popup(sublime.active_window().active_view(), '# Test\n\nHello world!\n')

If you do have errors make sure to report to me the version of mdpopups.

As for LSP, when you perform an action that you think should render a poupup, and it doesn't show, if there is an error in the console, that's what I really need. If you don't see one, it is probably not mdpopups having issues.

[Elinvynia]

Python 3.3>>> import mdpopups
Python 3.3>>> mdpopups.version()
(3, 7, 1)
Python 3.3>>> mdpopups.show_popup(sublime.active_window().active_view(), '# Test\n\nHello world!\n')

Nothing shows up on screen, I suspect this may be an issue with Wayland rather than LSP (since its working fine on my x11/windows machines)

[facelessuser]

It could be, but I'd argue that it is more likely due to Sublime and Waylan than Waylan and mdpopups. Mdpopups relies on the Sublime API to render the popups, mdpopups just ensures the content is converted from Markdown (if enabled) and injects a common styling etc.

Following similar steps, you can:

1. Open console
2. Make sure your cursor is on the top most line to make sure it shows up (so it's not covered by the console window).
3. Run these commands:

   import sublime
   sublime.active_window().active_view().show_popup('Hello world!')

[Elinvynia]

Yeah nothing shows up either, seems like we found the culprit! I'll bring it up with Sublime, thanks a lot fo r helping me with these console commands.

[facelessuser]

No problem.
