I get an error: bspwm_connect(): Failed to connect to the socket Arch Linux bspwm: 0.9.7-1 bspwmbar: 0.4.1-2 This is my first time using bspwm, so I could just be being an idiot, please tell me if so!

Sorry, bspwmbar was failing to connect to bspwm socket if using default bspwm socket path.

Getting same error if running in a terminal, the README only tells you how to build bspwmbar not how to get it running/ configuring. Would be able to help more if I knew how to get it started????

Today the socket ends _0_0 and I get the same error message. I think the change is because before I was running Sway in another PTY.

I believe the issue fixed on master. I was getting bspwm socket path in the wrong way so occurred the issue when BSPWM_SOCKET is not set.

Indeed it is, apologies, thanks :)
