can't get kanshi to match a configuration
Closed this issue · 4 comments
Apologies beforehand if this is me missing something obvious (I feel like it must be) but the following behaviour seems odd to me
~/.config/kanshi
cat config
{
output "*" mode 1920x1080
}
~/.config/kanshi
kanshi
Connected outputs:
output eDP-1 vendor AUO product 0x2036 serial 0x0
Matching configuration: None
Waiting for output changes...
How does "*" end up with Matching configuration: None? I've tried several different strings to a get a match but nothing seems to get picked up by kanshi (e.g. eDP-1) doesn't work either.
This is on ubuntu 19.04 and
sway version 1.1-rc1-55-gc9cb5ced (Jul 9 2019, branch 'master')

kanshi doesn't support quoted strings, yet. It would be a nice feature to add. Renamed the issue.
Fair enough. The man states that you’re suppose to quote strings with white space though doesn’t it? Also note that basically no string I added there could get a match, quoted or otherwise e.g. eDP-1 doesn’t match even though it appears that it should from kanshis output
Arguments can be quoted (with ") if they contain spaces.
Oh, sorry. We do support quoted strings: https://github.com/emersion/kanshi/blob/master/parser.c#L130
It seems you're using a very old version of kanshi, back when it was written in Rust. Please update to the latest commit.
Right. That was the "obvious thing" I referred to in my original post (I had both the rust and C versions installed but the rust one had precedence in PATH). Apologies for the noise.
