[BUG] magnify: cannot zoom

[dafitt]

Pyprland version
Which version did you use?
Pyprland 2.3.2
Hyprland v0.40.0

Describe the bug
I cannot magnify my hyprland deskotp.
Systemd error: FAILED b'config option <misc:cursor_zoom_factor> does not exist.'
I think because hyprland has changed the option misc:cursor_zoom_factor to cursor:zoom_factor in v0.40.0

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. systemctl start --user pyprland.service
2. pypr zoom
3. systemctl status --user pyprland.service
4. See error FAILED b'config option <misc:cursor_zoom_factor> does not exist.'

Expected behavior
pypr zoom ++0.5 should magnify my desktop.

Configuration (provide following files/samples when relevant):

pyprland.toml:

[pyprland]
plugins = ["magnify"]

Use version 0.40.0 of Hyprland to avoid this issue.
The change only happens in git version.
Looks like it also moved from "misc" to "cursor", I'll try to implement some auto-detection to avoid problems when 0.41 is released, thank you for the report :)

To understand what's going on I checked:

• https://wiki.hyprland.org/0.40.0/Configuring/Variables/#misc
• https://wiki.hyprland.org/Configuring/Variables/#cursor

Are you able to test with your former setup (in case you changed to stable Hyprland) and also use the git version of Pyprland?
It should be fixed in the latest git version.

I installed the git version for testing... and faced another challenge calling hyprctl version -j :

{
    "branch": "main",
    "commit": "4e42107d25dc47ee94da282db233f85f1e4c6bd0",
    "dirty": false,
    "commit_message": "pointermgr: ensure compositor exist on destroy (6216)",
    "commit_date": "Thu May 23 21:19:14 2024",
    "tag": "v0.40.0-127-g4e42107d",
    "commits": "4733",
    "flags": []
}

Current Pypr code considers this is version 0.40.0.... while it broke compatibility for it.
Are you also using arch / using the same package types? If not, what is the output of this command on your setup?

EDIT: I'm thinking in adding a "force_hyprland_version" configuration option for people playing with bleeding edge/unstable versions... but maybe there is a better way.

[fdev31]

I'm going to add support for hyprland_version in the [pyprland] section, eg:

[pyprland]
include = ["~/.config/hypr/pyprland.d"]
hyprland_version = "0.41.0"

I consider it fixed since I can't find a better solution for those transitioning periods... if you have another (better?) suggestion please re-open.

Need to write docs, also improved things, maybe you'll not need the hyprland_version config option...

Yes. I am on NixOS and I added pyprland.url = "github:hyprland-community/pyprland"; in flake.nix and an overlay pyprland = inputs.pyprland.packages.${prev.system}.pyprland;, rebuilt and

Confirmed that magnify is working again!

Regarding hyprctl version -j my output is

{
    "branch": "",
    "commit": "2ccd45a84475fab46c6fecd2fe226d3173104743",
    "dirty": true,
    "commit_message": "",
    "commit_date": "2024-05-12",
    "tag": "",
    "commits": "",
    "flags": []
}

which seems broken. I think I have read somewhere that this is a bug only on NixOS but I cannot find the hyprctl issue anymore. But I am currently using the hyprland version on nixpkgs-unstable: 0.40.0-unstable-2024-05-12

Sorry, I cannot really help you with that. I'm still a programming newbie.

Released a new version including it and added a note in the Troubleshooting page!
