Can't connect/disconnect by device name on Monterey #62

Closed malcolmsailor closed 5 months ago

malcolmsailor commented 2 years ago

Hi, since upgrading to Monterey, I can no longer use device names (e.g., 'STR-DH190') with commands like blueutil --connect or blueutil --disconnect. This isn't a huge problem since addresses like 3c-91-80-1a-e6-ba still work.

FWIW I also have the same issue with --disconnect mentioned in #58 ; either of the workarounds (adding --info or --wait-disconnect) mentioned in that thread work.

Having the same issue on Sonoma

@deeeeekun If you list recent devices (blueutil --recent), do you see the name that you use?

deeeeekun commented 8 months ago

@toy No, it doesn't show either

You mean the list is empty or there are no names? What about blueutil --paired? For now only recent connected devices are used for device names, so if the list is empty or no names, blueutil will not be able to have devices referenced by name.

The device (and device name) shows up in blueutil --paired. blueutil --recent returns an empty list, even though I have just connected to it (using the address).

Looks like a good idea to make that blueutil first checks paired devices for names. Though absence of recent devices must be a bug, framework, or os installation/state issue.
