Unfortunately, we can only show the warning in the polybar log and not
give the user any feedback because the pipe is one-way

* ipc: Use message format for responses
* ipc: Handle wrong message types
* ipc: Write back error message if ipc message cannot be processed
This only happens for commands and empty actions.
Non-empty actions are not immediately executed, but deferred until the
next loop iteration.
* Remove TODO about deleting runtime directory
The socket file is not deleted after socket.close() is called, only
after libuv executes the close callback.
So we can't just call rmdir because it will probably always fail.
* CLeanup WriteRequest
* Update manpage authors
* Cleanup
This fixes#857 and #1932. Also replaces PR #1725, since we don't need
our own implementation of condition_variable anymore since people who
update their polybar should have GCC 10 by now.
The m_updated_at field of the mpd module was removed instead of having
its clock change because it became unused in commit 645a3142a1.
This adds a new `tray-foreground` config option, and uses it instead of
the `tray-background` setting to build up the `_NET_SYSTEM_TRAY_COLORS`
property. I'm pretty sure that the previous behavior was a mistake (this
was introduced in 94298741b6 which is a
pretty large diff). For me and some other people, this results in a
black icon being drawn on top of a black background, which is pretty
useless! I would say that this diff fixes
https://github.com/polybar/polybar/issues/2235. Note: the old code dealt
with `unsigned int` and maxed values out at 0xff. The new code deals
with `uint16_t` and maxes values out at 0xffff. I haven't found the
relevant documentation to justify this change, but from manually
testing, I'm pretty confident this is the right change.
This all matches pretty closely with this code from i3:
[`i3bar/src/xcb.c::init_tray_colors`
code](43e805a00d/i3bar/src/xcb.c (L1490-L1522)),
which you can see also uses the bar's foreground color and maxes values
out at 0xffff, not 0xff.
If you merge this up, I think we should also update
https://github.com/polybar/polybar/wiki/Configuration#bar-settings to
mention the new settings.
Fixes#2235
We had a check that restricted config files to "regular files".
This check was to restrictive as it didn't allow for things like:
```
polybar -c <(gen_config)
gen_config | polybar -c /dev/stdin
```
Now, polybar can easily read config data from stdin.
* Handle relative includes
We change to the directory of the given config file before parsing.
This allows us to handle relative includes.
TODO: Maybe improve the name of the change_dir() function.
* Fix unused result warning
* Add `relative_to` parameter to expand()
If the path is relative, we resolve it by prepending
dirname(config) to the path.
Add dirname() - Returns the parent directory of the file or an empty
string.
* Resolve relative paths
Handle paths relative to the current file being parsed.
* Remove unneeded change_dir()
* Fix expand()
`is_absolute` is calculated after we expand the path.
`relative_to` must be a directory.
Add test for expand() with relative paths
* Recalculate `is_absolute` after expanding `path`
* Add more file_util::expand tests
* Add changelog

Before it was enabled by default. That means if the constructor fails,
the destructor will complain that the module was not stopped before
deconstructing.
We can't just call stop if module creation fails because the module is
only partially initialized.
* The xworkspaces module should wait for EWMH to become available
Before this change if EWMH wasn't available the xworkspaces module was
permanently disabled. When polybar was started alongside the window
manager e.g. from .xinitrc this caused a race condition between polybar
and the window manager and the xworkspaces module may or may not be
displayed. After this change polybar will wait for EWMH to become
available. This change closes#1915, see that issue for more details.
Curiously this only required the removal of the error condition which
used the be raised when EWMH wasn't available. The xworkspaces module
will show up on the bar as soon as the first EWMH event is processed by
the existing event handling code. I can't argue much about the
correctness of this patch but it seems to work flawlessly in my testing
with xmonad. I didn't test any other window managers. Note that removing
the error condition below which checks that _NET_DESKTOP_VIEWPORT is
available might make this work with pin-workspaces=true. I couldn't test
the effects of that change because I only tested with xmonad and xmonad
doesn't support _NET_DESKTOP_VIEWPORT, so I didn't make that change.
* xworkspaces: Remove check fo _NET_DESKTOP_VIEWPORT
Implementations that don't support it will just return an empty list for
get_desktop_viewports and pin-workspaces won't do anything.
* Update changelog

* config_parser: Improve error messages
This commit adds an additional context with configuration file name and
line number to some error messages in the config_parser.
* config_parser: Add file name and line number to invalid_name_error
* config_parser: Update unit tests to avoid crashes on regressions
The previous CAST_MOD(Impl) for the action_router constructor was
illegal because `this` is not yet of type Impl (because the subclass
constructor has not run yet).
The action_router now accepts std::function for its callbacks.
Fixes#2519
Fixes#1978
* Move tail and non-tail handler to method
Defining them in the constructor is ugly.
* script: Iterate over defined actions instead of fixed list
* Separate running logic and lock m_output
* Include POLYBAR_FLAGS in linker flags
* Stop using m_prev in script_runner
* Join module threads in stop function
Joining in the destructor may lead to UB because the subclass is already
deconstructed but the threads may still require it to be around (e.g.
for calling any functions on the instance)
* Cleanup script module
* Update changelog
* Remove AfterReturn class
* Remove m_stopping from script module
* Fix polybar not reading the entire line from child process.
For every `readline` call we created a new fd_streambuf. This means once
`readline` returns, the streambuf is destructed and and pending data in
its temporary buffer discarded and we never actually read it.
* Remove unused includes
Returns a list of key-value pairs starting with a prefix.
If you have in config:
```
env-FOO = bar
env-CAT = dog
```
then `get_with_prefix("env-")` will return
`[{"FOO", "bar"}, {"CAT", "dog"}]`
* Remove DEBUG_SHADED
Was disabled by default AND behind an #if 0
* Make TimerHandle expose more libuv functions

*doc: add #1750 to CHANGELOG
* Fix compile error in ramp test
Use std::make_shared.
The eventloop no longer uses them. libuv will coalesces multiple
uv_async_send if they happen one after another and this also leads to
coalescing of updates.
This is needed because the handle's lifetime has to be at least the
lifetime of the eventloop since the eventloop requires the handle's
memory during shutdown (for closing the handles).

This adds the 'send' action to the ipc module that can be used to send arbitrary text to the module:
polybar-msg action "#ipc.send.%{F#4444ff}hello%{F-}"
* feat(ipc): allow receiving arbitrary text on IPC socket
Instead of just allowing hook numbers to be executed, the user can
send arbitrary text and the IPC module will put it in the bar. The IPC
payload format is extended to accept an arbitrary string if the first
character after the module name is ':'.
polybar-msg hook test :'%{F#4444ff}hello%{F-}'
Fix#2455
* Use actions for sending data to ipc module
* ipc: Don't use exceptions when no hooks are defined
* Update src/modules/ipc.cpp

* Add toggle_visible action
* Add set_visible and set_invisible actions
* Rename toggle_visible method to match
`action_toggle_visible` -> `action_toggle_visibility`
Matches with `EVENT_TOGGLE_VISIBILITY`
* Update CHANGELOG
* Revert #2320 IPC commands
IPC commands are no longer necessary now that the actions are
implemented. Changed some method permissions as well to reflect this.
* Add logging and change action names
- `module_toggle`
- `module_show`
- `module_hide`
Delineate common actions to all modules with a `module_` prefix (for
future actions too)
* Update documentation
While it shouldn't happen with compliant WMs, it was possibe to crash
polybar with _NET_CURRENT_DESKTOP >= _NET_NUMBER_OF_DESKTOPS and this
should not be possible.
Includes polybar/xpp#31
Fixes#2398
When `pin-workspaces` is set to true using `show-urgent` will show
urgent workspaces on the bar even when the workspace is not associated
with the current monitor.
The renderer now only stores the positions of the actions because that
is specific to the renderer and because the actual position can only be
finalized after all the rendering is done because intitially the
positions are relative to the alignment and not the bar.
The variables storing the current colors, attribute activations and font
were only used in a single place and can easily also be read from the
context.
This allows us to remove a lot of the state of the renderer.
* add reverse-scroll option for xworkspaces module
* move use of reverse-scroll option to when producing scroll action
* documented xworkspaces reverse-scroll option in changelog
Add a config parser method which, for now, deals only with escaping the
literal backslash character and logs an error message to inform the user
of the coming change.
The error message includes a properly escaped value for the user.
As a result of introducing an escape character('\'):
- Warn the user of any unescaped backslashes, as they will not be
treated as a literal character in the future
- For now, still treat a single backslash as a literal character
- Treat two consecutive backslashes as a single properly escaped
literal backslash
Also:
- Add documentation about the escape character to polybar(5) manpage
- Add info about the escape character to changelog
- Add testcases for ParseLineKeyTest
- Add new test ParseEscapedValueTest
Resolves: First step in #2354
Improve value parsing
- Take value arg in as an rvalue reference and move parsed value back
- Remove unnecessary if statement
- Rename function
- Improve error message
- Improve function description

Because we passed a temporary as the logger, it gets destroyed after the
config_parser constructor returns and when the logger is called in
config_parser it operates on a dangling reference.

* build: Add -Wsuggest-override
We should always use the override specifier when overriding virtual
functions. This helps prevent errors when a subclass tries to create a
function with the same name as a virtual function in a super-class but
with a different purpose.
* clang-format
* Upload logs on failure
* Add override to unsupported.hpp
* cmake: Make -Wsuggest-override flag conditional
* 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
