Module("idleinhibit");
Function("SfwbarInit") {
  IdleTimeout "idle_timer1", "120"
  IdleTimeout "idle_timer2", "240"
  IdleTimeout "idle_timer3", "360"
}

TriggerAction "idle_timer1", Exec "swaylock -f -c 00000" 
TriggerAction "idle_timer2", Exec "wlopm --off *" 
TriggerAction "idle_timer3", Exec "systemctl  suspend" 
TriggerAction "idle_resume", Exec "wlopm --on *" 

started sfwbar form a terminal, the sfwbar output the following message

Have something been changed?

Do you have #Api2 anywhere in the file? I just tested the config and it works correctly (without #Api2).

[ffs-akl]

Yes, I have #Api2 at the first line.
but the origin idle.widget have #Api2 and Module("idleinhibit") in idle.widget

cat /usr/share/sfwbar/idle.widget
#Api2

Module("idleinhibit");

Private {
  Var IconOn = "icons/misc/lock.svg";
  Var IconOff = "icons/misc/unlock.svg";

  layout {
    button {
      style = If(Ident(IdleInhibitState), "module", "hidden")
      value = If(IdleInhibitState()="on", IconOn, IconOff)
      local = true
      trigger = "idleinhibitor"
      action[1] = SetIdleInhibitor("toggle")
    }
  }
}

Deleting #Api2, or adding another # in front of #Api2, both make it work correctly. Isn't #Api2 already commenting out Api2? Why does it require two # symbols?

[LBCrion]

also, you don't need module idleinhibit here, since this widget doesn't use any idle inhibit functionality.

[LBCrion]

#Api2 is a hint indicating that the config file uses the new syntax. Your config uses the old syntax, so you get an error. I am in the process of updating the docs to reflect the new format, so I wouldn't recommend using #Api2 until the docs are updated and you're ready to migrate your configs.

Thank you. I will keep this discussion open for people who have encountered the same problem as I did.
