espanso fails with error BadWindow

[jcassee]

Sometimes, espanso dies with an error like this:

jun 05 15:43:49 stevens espanso[42009]: X Error of failed request:  BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
jun 05 15:43:49 stevens espanso[42009]:   Major opcode of failed request:  20 (X_GetProperty)
jun 05 15:43:49 stevens espanso[42009]:   Resource id in failed request:  0x6400063
jun 05 15:43:49 stevens espanso[42009]:   Serial number of failed request:  23
jun 05 15:43:49 stevens espanso[42009]:   Current serial number in output stream:  23

This happens a few times each day. Not that big of a deal as it is restarted, but it does cause a notification to pop up: "espanso started".

A quick internet search suggests espanso is trying to query a window that no longer exists (was just closed), so the error could probably be caught and ignored?

Hey @jcassee
Thanks for reporting this bug! Could you give me the following info:

• What distro/espanso version are you using?
• Do you have any idea about which app triggers this error?

Cheers :)

I'm using espanso 0.6.1 from Snap on Ubuntu 20.04. I don't know yet what triggers the error. I am alerted when espanso restarts, so I will look for a clue. Is there an option to have it print a stack trace or some other debugging info I can enable?

Edit: same error as #302 (comment)?

All right, thank you @jcassee. Yes indeed that seems to be the same error as the #302 comment, I'll dig into it as soon as I get my hands on my Linux machine

I have found a way to trigger this error problem. I use Easystroke gestures, and every time I close a window using a gesture (I use a single down stroke mapped to Alt-F4 Ctrl-w) espanso exits with this error. The error does not trigger if I press Alt-F4 Ctrl-w one the keyboard or close a window with the mouse.

Edit: corrected keyboard shortcut

All right, thank you for the help @jcassee. Hopefully I will be able to track down the issue now :)

not working:

1. install aur -> espanso-bin (v0.6.2) and espanso-bin(v0.6.0)
2. cp espanso ~/bin from github (0.6.2)

espanso (espanso-bin-0.4.1-2) - works fine

Hey @D1mon
This problem should be fixed in the next release, in the meanwhile I suggest you to install the espanso package rather than espanso-bin

Cheers

Thanks, @federico-terzi!
