[BUG] Problem with AGS (Sidebar/Clock does nothing on click waybar)

[mrjxtr]

Describe the bug Ever since this ags bug happened where when you click the ML4W logo or the time, it does nothing, I have tried multiple ways to make it work, including reinstalling ags, updating to a newer version of ML4w, installing a new ML4W dotfile in a new folder. But when I click them, still nothing happens.

In addition to this, using the welcome app to "update/reinstall ml4w dotfiles" no longer works. It just opens the terminal and closes. So I have to do it manually everytime using yay -Syu then running ml4w-hyprland-setup.

What I did so far:

• update everything including ml4w using yay -Syu then running ml4w-hyprland-setup
• reinstalled ags with yay -S aylurs-gtk-shell
• installed ml4w dotfiles on another folder ~/dotfiles_new

I also found the waybar modules.json with contains this the code below. (I am not sure if this helps but I tried)

• There is not ~/.config/ml4w/apps/ directory when I tried to cd into it.
• When I try to run the commands ags toggle sidebar or ags toggle calendar it will return this:

❯ ags toggle sidebar
error: there is no "astal" instance runnning

❯ ags toggle calendar
error: there is no "astal" instance runnning

modules.json

  // ML4W Welcome App
  "custom/ml4w-welcome": {
    "on-click": "ags toggle sidebar",
    "on-click-right": "sleep 0.1 && ~/.config/ml4w/apps/ML4W_Welcome-x86_64.AppImage",
    "format": " ",
    "tooltip-format": "Open Sidebar"
  },

  // Clock
  "clock": {
        "format": "{:%H:%M %a %y.%Om.%Od}",
    "on-click": "ags toggle calendar",
    "tooltip": false
  },

Distribution (please complete the following information):

• Arch Linux

Additional context I have ml4w-hyprland-git 2.9.6.7.r89.g96f8ac1-1 (+0 0.00) (Installed)

@mrjxtr I will release 2.9.7 later today. Please test with the new version. It's important that ags 2.0.x and astal are installed correctly. Please check the ags github page.
