* module: Implement proof of concept action router
Action implementation inside module becomes much cleaner because each
module just registers action names together with a callback (pointer to
member function) and the action router does the rest.
* Make input function final
This forces all modules to use the action router
* modules: Catch exceptions in action handlers
* Use action router for all modules
* Use action_ prefix for function names
The mpd module's 'stop' action overwrote the base module's stop function
which caused difficult to debug behavior.
To prevent this in the future we now prefix each function that is
responsible for an action with 'action_'
* Cleanup
* actions: Throw exception when re-registering action
Action names are unique inside modules. Unfortunately there is no way to
ensure this statically, the next best thing is to crash the module and
let the user know that this is a bug.
* Formatting
* actions: Ignore data for actions without data
This is the same behavior as before.
* action_router: Write tests
Modules can now also be shown and hidden using ipc commands:
$ polybar-msg [-p PID] cmd hide.mymodule # Hides module mymodule
$ polybar-msg [-p PID] cmd show.mymodule # Shows module mymodule
$ polybar-msg [-p PID] cmd toggle.mymodule # Toggles visibility of mymodule
* Hopefully implement visibility checking
* Implement hide command
* Implement `show` and `toggle` commands
* Refactor and add some logging
* Run style checks and update CHANGELOG
* Get around unused parameter warnings
* Change `set_visible` to return nothing
* Make errors more informative

The intention was to remove tags that won't have an effect and join
together consecutive tags.
However the patterns used can just as well appear in regular text, so
this can replace characters inside user defined text and not just
formatting tags.
Fixes#2331
Each major target of polybar can now be enabled/disabled while
configuring (even polybar itself).
The cmake code specific to each target will only run if the target is
enabled.
This allows us to for example just build the documentation without
having to run all the cmake code related to compilation or having the
polybar dependencies installed (other than sphinx).
* Added .ini extension check to default config
* Added change to changelog and man page
* Added change to changelog and man page

They were required before, but could technically be deactived (the
compilation would fail, but configuration was possible).

part. It still appears in the source code, but is always set to 1

Makes the structure less complex and the alignment tags really are
formatting tags, they are structurally no different from the %{R} tag.
* tag parser: Cleanup type definitions
All type definitions for tags now live in tags/types.hpp, the parser.hpp
only contains the definitions necessary for actually calling the parser,
this shouldn't be included in many places (only places that actually do
parsing). But many places need the definitions for the tags themselves.
* Rename components/parser to tags/dispatch
* tag parser: Cleanup
* Add changelog
Since the forked processes are still our children, we need to wait on
them, otherwise they become zombie processes.
We now fork twice, let the first fork immediately return and wait on it.
This reparents the second fork, which runs the actual code, to the init
process which then collects it.
Ref #770
For some reason when passing some non-const strings to convert, the
convert(T&& arg) method was used instead of the one specialized for
strings.
This caused an error in clang because you can't pass objects with
non-trivial types to varargs functions.
The best solution I found was to just add a specialized function for
non-const strings.
This was a backwards-incompatible change introduced in #2199, however it
was caused because `module_formatter.has` throws an exception when the
format doesn't exist instead of just returning false.
Fixes#2262
Ref #2199
If two WM events arrive withing 25ms of one-another, the second one does
not trigger a bar update.
The module state is still correct, it is just not reflected in the bar.
This somehow caused updates being swallowed in fluxbox, but only after
PR #882 was merged, even though that 25ms restriction existed long
before that.
Fixes#2272
Since 3.5.0, we use m_interval for a modulo operation, this crashes the
bar if the interval is 0. A non-positive interval shouldn't be allowed
anyway, so we now throw an exception in that case.
Fixes#2273
Pre 3.5.0, any key starting with 'inherit' was treated as an inherit
directive. This allowed for multiple inheritance even though it was
never inteded in that way.
3.5.0 removed that bug/feature by doing a strict check against 'inherit'
It seems people were relying on this behavior, so we are adding it back.
However multiple inheritance with multiple keys is also deprecated in
favor of the `inherit` key now supporting multiple space separated
sections.
This is because the config doesn't have a key order, but inheritance
does depend on the order the different section keys are copied over (if
multiple inherited sections define the same key).

It was not quite clear how try_apply_alpha should behave if the given
color was not ALPHA_ONLY. The implementation just returned 'this'.
However, the build relied on it returning the given color.
This broke all bg and fg settings in the entire bar.
To clear this up, we switch this around take the alpha channel of 'this'
and also return 'this' if it isn't ALPHA_ONLY.
Fixes#2255
New config option `speed-unit = B/s` will be used to suffix the upload and download speeds.

* Changed udspeed-unit to speed-unit
Shell commands triggered from action tags used to block polybar until
they finished.
Since we are not actually interested in the output of the commands, it
makes sense to run them completely detached from polybar and have
polybar not block when executing these commands.
Now the spawned child processes no longer get killed when polybar
exits. This is fine because polybar is not responsible for these
processes since they were explicitly started by the user through click
commands.
Ref: #770
Ref: #1680
The intent is for every color to be stored in a rgba instance
The rgba class now stores the color in a 32 bit integer to save space
This also removes the unused class rgb and moves everything else into a
cpp file.
Many functions also had weird template parameters. For example
alpha_channel<unsigned short int> would give a 2 byte number with the
alpha channel byte in both bytes.
color_util::hex would return a hex string with alpha channel if unsigned
short int was given and without if unsigned char was given. Even more
curiously those parameters were passed to *_channel and the result
nevertheless truncated to 8bits.
Only modules can now be action handlers.
This also slightly simplifies the controller because we don't need to
keep track of input handlers, we can just use the module list.
The next action should always select the next workspace, the same for
prev.
reverse-scroll should be directly used when setting the scroll actions.
This changes the behavior of `prev` and `next` actions in the i3 and
bspwm module.
But I don't think the impact will be significant and the old behavior
was misleading anyway.
Some actions have data attached (e.g. xworkspaces-focus=N), the
forwarding logic now matches the keys in the legacy_actions map as
prefixes and everything afterwards is considered additional data and
appended to the new action string.
All modules now expose their actions as public static constants
Issues: The menu module no longer closes when an item is clicked (before
it would intercept any executed command and look if it matches one of
its exec commands)
All the information about which action has to be delivered to which
module is kept in once place to make cleanup easier once the deprecated
actions are removed.
Right now only the date module is added as a proof of concept.
This allows us to identify module by their type and it is also better to
store the module type as part of the module instead of having it
hardcoded in factory.hpp
Action strings now have the form '#MODULE#ACTION'
For example to trigger the action 'toggle' in the 'module/date' module
one would now use '%{A1:#date#toggle:}'
With this action strings can now be uniquely assigned to one module.
Fixes#1172
Before the time difference between two measurements was always an
integer number, so for intervals < 1, you would always get 0 and for any
other non-integer interval you would get skewed results.
ramp-0 is used for everything <= base-temperature and ramp-N is used for everything >= warn-temperature

* [Temperature, Ramp] fix wrong icon for temperatures near base and warn temps
* Fix minor error

* Fixed silly error
* Prioritize battery full-at over state

Closes#1622 (issue for Thinkpad laptops)
* Remove typo from clamp_percentage
Some devices can have "amdgpu_bl1" or "amdgpu_bl2", but the code hardcoded in the value "amdgpu_bl0". This change tests based on the first characters: "amdgpu_bl".
If an input is enqueued as a response to an input, the new input will be
swallowed because it will likely be enqueued less than 30ms after the
original event.
This is not something that is an issue right now but it is required to
finish #1907 where, in order to close the menu after a click, the menu
module gets an exec action that closes the menu and adds a command to
the event queue.
The setting also isn't too useful since it will just break polybar input
handling if inputs arrive too fast instead of (possibly) slowing down
the bar.
Before the module would just try to evenly distribute desktops
(workspaces) among the viewports.
But since `_NET_DESKTOP_VIEWPORT` actually maps desktops to viewports,
we can use that information to assign workspaces to the right viewport.
Fixes#1849Fixes#1764
It is useful for people to see what config file polybar loaded.
For debugging font issues people almost always need to check what fonts
polybar loaded, for that they need to run polybar with info logging. Now
this information is always provided. This requires an update in the font
wiki page.
A warning implies something went wrong and (possibly) the user should do
something about it. However, warnings are not always used this way.
For example:
* When a fallback value for a `${..}` reference is used, this shouldn't
produce a warning (or notice) since using fallbacks is not something
bad.
* pulse telling you that it uses the default sink because no sink was
specified also does not warrant a warning (even notice may be too
high).
* Whenever polybar shuts down it produces a "Termination signal
received..." warning. Since there isn't a more proper way to shut down
polybar, it should not produce a warning. Same argument for a
`screenchange-reload`
Before it would only reload if the size changed and even that was
reliable since the method relied on the order of the monitor list.
Now if the monitor list differs in any way (pos, dimension, primary,
output, name) a reload is issued
Because of how monitors are removed inside the loop and depending on the
monitor order a cloned monitor may be assigned a width of 0 but is never
actually removed resulting in polybar saying the bar is out of bounds
Fixes#1794
Removing monitors is not really necessary when selecting the monitor
where to render the bar or choosing the backlight. Since both monitors
occupy the same coordinates rendering can be done on both and it's
better to give people felxibility for the backlight.
Fixes#1191
Premature optimization that tried to cache monitors but the cache did
not take into account the parameter values.
The call `get_monitors(..., ..., false, true);` would get all connected
and unconncected monitors a subsequent call
`get_monitors(..., ..., true, false);` would get back the same list of
monitors even though it requested only connected monitors.
Additionally `get_monitors` is never called periodically so the
optimization really didn't help much.
The github module only authenticate by query string, and this method is deprecated:
https://developer.github.com/changes/2019-11-05-deprecated-passwords-and-authorizations-api/#authenticating-using-query-parameters
There is no reason to remove it before the method stop working, so I've made possible to the user choose which authentication method he will use:
* The parameter token remain unchanged.
* If the parameter user is passed then the module will use the not deprecated method, passing user and token on the body of the requisition. Otherwise the module will use the deprecated method.

In the case where _NET_NUMBER_OF_DESKTOPS > |_NET_DESKTOP_NAMES|
the last branch of the get_desktop_names method would return a vector

_NET_NUMBER_OF_DESKTOPS + 1.

Functionality-wise reverts the changes from #1534
In #1907 we have decided to allow the same module to appear multiple
times (and deliver actions to all matching modules). But since that PR
will likely take longer to get merged, I want to remove the error from
polybar because the message it prints isn't really true anymore.
Before, if the command produced no output, the `m_output` field would
not have been overwritten and the old output was displayed.
But since this is an explicit trigger of the hook, the user would expect
the output to be updated to whatever the script produces (even if that
is nothing).
Ref: https://www.reddit.com/r/Polybar/comments/e9a8ww
The old code didn't really work when the right block was pushing against
the center block. Also `fixed-center` wasn't properly defined. I have
now fixed it to the following:
* `fixed-center = true`: The center block stays at the center of the bar
whenever possible. It can be pushed to the left if the right block takes
too much space and to the right if the left block takes too much space
* `fixed-center = false`: The center block will be in the middle between
the left and right block whenever possible. If there is not enough space
between those two, the center block will be directly to the right of the
left block and pushes out the right block
The issue was that it used the position of the center module to
calculate the leftmost possible position of the block. However, if the
center module is empty that position is disastrously wrong.
Fixes#591Fixes#1903
the `node` and `node_repeat` were never called with the optional
parameter add_space. And its default value is false, so the
corresponding code was never used.
I think in general it is better to just have the user of those functions
call `builder::space` when they need to instead of adding more
complexity to the `node*` functions.

None of the payload fields seem to be used. They were the only place
where EVENT_SIZE was used and why it had to be a macro (no variable
length arrays).
Since APP_VERSION is different for every commit and almost all file
include settings.hpp, the whole project has to be rebuilt for every
commit. With this, hopefully, this can be greatly reduced and only
changed files need to be rebuilt. This will also help ccache
Some people use text modules instead of the `separator` key in the bar
section to better configure the separator (colors, fonts).
Since we disallowed the same module being used multiple times in #1534,
this will now print an error message.
This should help with this a bit.
Ref #1913
Some WMs like i3 discard position information when unmapping the bar and
because of that the bar would be at the wrong position after being
remapped.
Fixes#1484
Ref: https://github.com/i3/i3/pull/3834
* refactor: Use flat module list if possible
Before if you wanted to iterate over all loaded modules you had to first
iterate over all blocks and then over their modules even if you didn't
care about alignment.
* refactor: setup modules in separate function
* controller: Print error for duplicate modules
You can't use the same name twice inside the module lists
E.g.
modules-left = a b c
modules-center = a
modules-right = b
would print an error.
We only print an error for now because we don't want to break existing
configs. But in the future this should be properly enforced.
A workspace is occupied if it is not active and there is at least one window managed by the WM (`_NET_CLIENT_LIST`) that has set `_NET_WM_DESKTOP` to that workspace.
The behavior when `_NET_WM_DESKTOP` is not set is not yet clear but this is unlikely to happen since most WMs will position windows on some desktop.
Closes#874Fixes#1444Fixes#1033
* Set Desktop OCCUPIED if a window moves there
This covers more of an edge-case. I did this first by accident, it might
vanish later on.
* Replace tracking change of WS with currently used WS
* Untrack occupied workspaces

* Recreate the occupied desktops everytime and remove duplicates
* Readd support for moving windows to other desktops

* Lock event-handler to serialize handling of events
* Fix occupied workspace counting and change to bool array
Also, performance improvements when diffing new and old client lists
* Fix crash when all clients are removed
* Conform to linter and styleguide
* Shorten conditional as it is standard enough
Since this only guards against 0-divisions, it can be shortened
without risking too much confusion down the road.
* Guard against multiple threads accessing and modifying data
Fixes#1444
Modification of internal data happens through the handle-method, while
the build-method tries to access the data structures for display. Since
some modifications clear e.g. the m_viewports, references may become
invalid between looping over them an accessing them.
The mutex should guard against this simultanuous access.
* Do not 'adopt_lock', because calls come from very different threads
To my understanding, adopt_lock has some dependency on the mutex-ownership. Since
the lock is once called from the inside (in handle) and once from the outside (in
build), there might be a problem. After brief testing, the segfaults happened fewer
times.
See #1444
* Also listen to _NET_WM_DESKTOP
In order to move a window from one desktop to another, it is sufficient
to set the desktop-property of that window. xmonad fires a lot of events
in the case of moving a window, herbstluftwm only updates the
_NET_WM_DESKTOP-atom of the window.
This change reloads the clientlist in order to correctly set the
desktop state "occupied".
* Describe need and use of mutex
It might be possible to relieve the guard in xworkspaces_module::handle,
but I am unsure about this. Since xmonad emits a lot of events on almost
every minor change, I would let the guard keep its post, avoiding
race-conditions in event-handling.

While an update was forced whenever polybar was made visible, the

became hidden because updates to it were prevented.
Fixes#1875
This fixes a regression introduced in
56e24992df where relative config file
paths weren't recognized because file_util::expand just added a slash
to the beginning.
That is calling `polybar -c config example` would try to load the config
file at `/config` instead of using the relative path as before.
In all other cases where expand is used this change shouldn't matter
because polybar only accepts absolute paths everyhwere else.
Theoretically this would now allow relative paths (relative to the cwd
where polybar was called) but this shouldn't used (or documented)
because that behavior will change when merging #1523 which would make
paths relative to the polybar config.
Ref #1523
Ref 56e24992df
The %{PR} tag is introduced for this. It resets all colors as well as
the activation of the underline and overline and font.
This has become necessary because we don't track what raw tags a user
injects into the formatting string and otherwise their raw tags could
bleed through.
This doesn't touch action tags because even before raw action tags
weren't being tracked. Action tags also have the requirement that they
have to be used in pairs, so closing them prematurely could break things
(for example with click actions for the entire bar)
When adding a string to the builder directly, it would parse the string
for formatting tags, delete them and readd them with the methods in the
builder that keep track of open tags so that we can properly close them
when flushing.
This parser has a bug, it parses multiple formatting tags in a single
block as a single tag, e.g.
%{F#000000 u#FFFFFF +u}
would be parsed as an `F` tag with value `#000000 u#FFFFFF +u` which is
of course wrong.
Removing the parsing step fixes this problem in the simplest way
possible. This has two benefits:
* Building of modules is sped up because we don't have to do the parsing
step in the builder and many modules use this function to add strings
from a progressbar (which already has properly closed tags).
* We don't have parser logic in two places. Until now both `parser.cpp`
and `builder.cpp` actually parsed formatting tags. This leads to a lot
of code duplication and, as we've seen, bugs.
All of the modules that use this function to add text already make sure
that they properly close formatting tags (mostly by using the builder to
generate the strings)
NOTE: This change slightly changes polybar's behavior. Raw tags (tags
added by the user through the config) can now have their effects reach
neighboring modules because the builder doesn't track and thus doesn't
close them on each flush. This can (and will) be resolved by resetting
all tags at module borders.
Fixes#1555
There really is no reason to also close over/underline tags when we have
a right margin and a non-black over/underline color.
The git blame for these lines also doesn't give us any insights as to
why it was done this way.
Using a bit vector to track the active attributes does not really give a
significant speed increase, especially for only two attributes
Checking if a syntaxtag or an attribute exists in the map just adds
unnecessary code
Was around since the first commit but no documentation why. It was only
used in the text module and doesn't appear in any public documentation,
so this doesn't break anything.
This is the next step to merge #1237 in stages.
Currently there are barely any restrictions on how the config can be
written. This causes things like config files with DOS line endings to
not be parsed properly (#1366) because polybar splits by `\n` and when
parsing section headers, it can't deal with the `\r` at the end of the
line and thus doesn't recognize any section headers.
With this PR we introduce some rules as to what characters are allowed
in section names and keys.
Note: When talking about spaces I refer to any character for which
`isspace()` returns `true`.
The rules are as follows:
* A section name or a key name cannot contain any spaces as well as any
of there characters:`"'=;#[](){}:.$\%`
* Spaces at the beginning and end of lines are always ignored when
parsing
* Comment lines start with `;` or `#` and last for the whole line. The
whole line will be ignored by the parser. You cannot start a comment at
the end of a line.
* Section headers have the following form `[HEADER_NAME]`
* Key-value lines look like this:
`KEY_NAME{SPACES}={SPACES}VALUE_STRING` where `{SPACES}` represents any
number of spaces. `VALUE_STRING` can contain any characters. If it is
*surrounded* with double quotes (`"`), those quotes will be removed,
this can be used to add spaces to the beginning or end of the value
* Empty lines are lines with only spaces in them
* If the line has any other form, it is a syntax error
This will introduce the following breaking changes because of how
underdefined the config syntax was before:
* `key = ""` will get treated as an empty string instead of the literal
* string `""`
* Any section or key name with forbidden characters will now be syntax
errors.
* Certain strings will be forbidden as section names: `self`, `root`,
* `BAR`. Because they have a special meaning inside references and so a
* section `[root]` can never be referenced.
This replaces the current parser implementation with a new more robust
one that will later be expanded to also check for dependency cycles and
allow for values that contain references mixed with other strings.
This PR also now expands the config paths given over the command line so
that `--config=~/.config/polybar/config` resolves properly.

the function was used with any other function, it wouldn't have given
the desired output
* config_parser: Implement parse_file
* config_parser: Switch operation to config_parser
This changes the way the config is invoked. Now main.cpp creates a
config_parser object which then returns the singleton config object from
the parse method. Subsequent calls to config::make will return the
already created config object as before
The config_parser does not yet have all the functionality of the old
parser: `inherit` directives are not yet resolved. Other than that all
the old functionality is implemented (creating sectionmap and applying
include-file)
Any sort of dependency detection (except for include-file) are still
missing
* config: Move xrm initialization to constructor
config_parser handles the detection of xrdb references and passes that
info to the config object.
This finally allows us to delete the config::parse_file function because
everything in it has been implemented (except for xrdb detection and
file error handling)
* refactor(config_parser): Cleanup
* config_parser: Set config data after initialization
Looks much cleaner this way
* config_parser: Expand include-file paths
* config_parser: Init xrm if the config uses %{xrdb references
* config_parser: Use same type of maps as in old impl
Polybar has some weird, not yet fixed, inheriting behaviour and it
changes depending on the order in which the config stores its data.
Using the same type of maps ensures that the behaviour stays the same.
* refactor(config_parser): Clearer invalid name error message
* config_parser: Don't allow reserved section names
Sections with the names 'self', 'BAR', 'root' could never be referenced
because those strings have a special meaning inside references
* config_parser: Handle inherit directives
This uses the old copy_inherited function, so this still suffers from
crashes if there are cyclic dependencies.
This also fixes the behaviour where any key that starts with 'inherit'
would be treated as an inherit directive
* config_parser: Clearer dependency cycle error message
* refactor(config_parser): Handle file errors when parsing
This removes the need to check if the file exists separately
* fix(config): expand config file path
Now paths using ~ and environment variables can be used as the config
path
* fix(config): Properly recognize xrdb references
* config_parser: Make messages more informative
* doc(config): Improve commenting
Comments now describe what the config_parser actually does instead of
what it will do.
We also now follow the rule that single line comments inside functions
should use `//` comments
* refactor: Move else on same line as curly braces
* fix(config_parser): Don't duplicate paths in `files`
* refactor(config_parser): Use else if for clarity
* fix(config): Undefined behavior in syntax_error
Before the custom what() method produced undefined behavior because the
returned string became invalid once the function returned.
* refactor(config): descriptive name for useless lines
is_valid could easily be confused as meaning syntactically invalid
without it being clarified in a comment
* refactor(config): Use separate strings instead of key_value
Takes just as much space and is much better to read
* fix(config_parser): TestCase -> TestSuite and fix macro call
Ref: #1644
* config_parser: use const string& in method args
* config_parser: Improve comments
* config_parser: Incorporate review comments
