`jgmenu_run ob` icon support and <execute> tag #65

Closed semeion closed 5 years ago

Is possible to use a dynamic openbox menu (for example jgmenu_run ob) in i3-wm?

I can use pmenu, lx, xdg, but when i try to use ob it doesn´t work in my i3 wm. Some workaround?

Thanks in advance

Congratulation for jgmenu, it is a nice tool.

Hi

Yes, that should work.

What do you get if you run “jgmenu_run ob” in a terminal?

Where is your openbox menu.xml file located?

The ob module has it’s own man page. https://github.com/johanmalm/jgmenu/blob/master/docs/manual/jgmenu-ob.1.md

I have refactored the ob module a lot recently, so appreciate feedback if anything doesn’t seem right.

Well, it seems to work fine, the menu is created sucessfull in the i3wm, but when i click on some option nothing happens...

Running jgmenu from console i can see some errors, seems like it is trying to execute my option using some wrong command.

See, that "/bin/bash: null: command not found" happens everytime i click on some option in the menu, i choosed 3 programs from menu and he returned 3 errors:

mnemonic@blackbird[~]$ jgmenu
fatal: an instance of 'jgmenu' is already running
mnemonic@blackbird:1[~]$ killall jgmenu

PS. sorry for my english errors, english isn´t my native language.

Well, following the link of the docs you told me i did:

mnemonic@blackbird:1[~]$ killall jgmenu
mnemonic@blackbird[~]$ 
mnemonic@blackbird[~]$ jgmenu_run ob | jgmenu --simple
info: using monitor '1'
info: got font from jgmenurc
info: set font to 'Ubuntu 12px'
info: got icon theme from gtk config file
info: set icon theme to 'nuoveXT2'
/bin/bash: null: command not found
^C
info: caught SIGTERM or SIGINT
mnemonic@blackbird[~]$

Like you can see, running on that way it return same error (/bin/bash: null: command not found) for each program i select in menu.

That ^C is because i pressed ^C in the keyboard :P

I think have something wrong on the "exec" command format, maybe a #0 null character or some quotes, i don´t know.

Great feedback - really appreciated.

You have structured obm as follows:

<item label="foo">
  <action name="Execute">
    <execute>foo</execute>
  </action>
</item>

According to the openbox.org wiki Action page, the <execute> tag is depreciated and <command> should be used instead.

See: http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Actions#Action_syntax

Interestingly, one of the examples on the wiki menu page uses <execute> and so does the /etc/xdg/openbox/menu.xml on my machine.

See: http://openbox.org/wiki/Help:Menus

When I coded the ob module, I mostly used the BunsenLabs menu.xml which uses <command>. I did of course look at the openbox wiki pages, but didn't notice the <command> vs <execute> peculiarity.

I will patch the ob module to cope with both.

Are you running jgmenu from your distribution repo or do you build it yourself?

Would it be easy for you to replace the <execute> tags with <command> for the time being?

johanmalm commented 5 years ago

Nice menu by the way :)

Can could set “csv_cmd = jgmenu_run ob —cmd=obm”

semeion commented 5 years ago

Hello johanmalm,

Well, i modified the obm code (in perl) and changed the tag to like explained on the official openbox documentation, but the problem don´t got solved, the problem still happening.

I modified to:

<item label="foo">
  <action name="Execute">
    <command>foo</command>
  </action>
</item>

obm isn´t using indent on xml structure, each line of the obm menu is printed from obm to stdout like: <item label="foo"> <action name="Execute"> <command>foo</command> </action> </item>

1 item per line, may be it the reason of the problem?

And i am using the jgmenu from the official Arch Linux repository.

Oh, thanks for the above tip "csv_cmd = jgmenu_run ob —cmd=obm".

johanmalm commented 5 years ago

The indentation and new-line characters do not matter. We use libxml2 which is quite sophisticated.

Are you sure that <command> doesn't work? It does for me :)

I've created obm-small which contains the following:

#!/bin/sh

cat <<'EOF'
<openbox_pipe_menu>
<item label="File Manager"><action name="Execute"><execute>pcmanfm</execute></action></item>
<item label="Terminal"><action name="Execute"><execute>terminator</execute></action></item>
</openbox_pipe_menu>
EOF

jgmenu_run ob --cmd=obm-small gives

(null),^tag(root-menu)
File Manager,(null)
Terminal,(null)

If I replace the <execute> tags with <command> tags, I get the output below (which makes the menu work).

(null),^tag(root-menu)
File Manager,pcmanfm
Terminal,terminator

OMG, you are right! I forget regenerate the menu file after my modifications LOL

It is working right now! Amazing :D

BTW, do you have some tip to have icons on the menu?

My rc file is the same above.

Thank you very much! jgmenu is really a nice tool.

johanmalm commented 5 years ago

We now support both <execute> and <command>

It's a nice menu you've got there :smile:

The ob module does currently not support icons, but I will added that.

semeion commented 5 years ago

Indeed, it is really nice! Thank you!

I will wait for the next jgmenu and the icon update :D
