Autoname workspaces with null class window

[funkthew0rld]

Problem is specific to Spotify binary when launched with spotify-launcher when set to run in wayland.

The resulting window class is null, and naming is done on class alone.

The window when running in xwayland has a class, but looks awful on hidpi displays.

With no class, you can’t even set an icon based on title alone, or if you can, I couldn’t figure it out.

Hi, Can you show me a hyprctl clients -j please of what you say? Also, do you run hyprland-git or the stable one?

[funkthew0rld]

Using hyprland from arch repos

{ "address": "0x558163dabf10", "mapped": true, "hidden": false, "at": [647, 42], "size": [621, 746], "workspace": { "id": 1, "name": "1: <span foreground='red'></span>" }, "floating": false, "monitor": 0, "class": "", "title": "Spotify", "initialClass": "", "initialTitle": "Spotify", "pid": 655, "xwayland": false, "pinned": false, "fullscreen": false, "fullscreenMode": 0, "fakeFullscreen": false, "grouped": [], "swallowing": null }

Will give you the snippet later after testing but you can do a rule already for this in theory.

[cyrinux]

You can do this:

Use title with null class ^$.

[title."^$"]
"(?i)spotify" = "spotify"

Is-it ok for you ?

[funkthew0rld]

Unfortunately that doesn’t work. Switch’s to your example config file and it actually shows as a blank workspace in that situation. I didn’t have that stylized in my config, so I couldn’t have known that before.

😓

[cyrinux]

Hi, about the styling it's just a example,  does it work without the span?

[funkthew0rld]

I tried without the span. The workspace with the Spotify window shows up as an empty workspace when this line is in my config . workspace_empty = "<b><span color='yellow'>{id}:</span></b>{delim}{clients}"

[cyrinux]

What version do you have? I can't reproduce in a unit test.

$ hyprland-autoname-workspaces -V

Can you also share me your full config please ?

$ hyprland-autoname-workspaces --dump

[funkthew0rld]

When trying last night I updated to 1.0.0. I’m not by the computer right now, but I used the config example from this project and added the title.”^$” section you suggested above.

[Anomalocaridid]

I am having the exact same issue with Spotify. It has no class or initial class and if it is alone in a workspace, hyprland-autoname-workspaces thinks its workspace is empty. The snippet you provided does not work for me.

version: hyprland-autoname-workspaces 1.1.0

full config:

    "client_dup_active": "*{icon}*{delim}{icon}{counter_unfocused_sup}",
    "client_dup_fullscreen": "[{icon}]{delim}{icon}{counter_unfocused_sup}"
  }
}

Also, in case it is relevant, my Linux distro is NixOS with nixpkgs unstable and I am using eww as my bar.

Edit: I just realized that the title table does not show up here, even though I did not remove the snippet you provided. Is this normal?

[cyrinux]

@Anomalocaridid Can you do a hyprctl clients -j while spotify running please? Also, since the issue is open, the config format change, the snippet i give should be now:

[title_in_class."^$"]
"(?i)spotify" = "spotify"

[Anomalocaridid]

The updated snippet does not work.

Output of hyprctl clients -j with Spotify running:

[cyrinux]

Thanks for the info, I will debug this asap.

[cyrinux]

@Anomalocaridid @funkthew0rld I finally think I find the bug, can you please try again with the main branch before I do a release ?

[cyrinux]

I am confident in my fix and did a release 1.1.1 🤞🏻

[Anomalocaridid]

I cloned the repo and ran it with cargo run and it looks like it works for me! Thank you!

[funkthew0rld]

yup, it works now!

thanks @cyrinux
