Lemonbuddy crashed on click of a custom script.

[g-suraj]

I have a custom scrip as follows

[module/dropbox]
type = custom/script
exec = echo "%{A1:command}script%{A}"
format-underline = #458588
interval=10

Clicking on this crashes lemonbuddy, after which killing it is the only option.

Can you post your full config

[g-suraj]

Sure thing. This is a tiny script I wrote to indicate the status of dropbox

#!/bin/bash
#Dropbox Status outputs
#Dropbox isn't enabled : "Dropbox"
#Dropbox is startin: "Starting..."
#Dropbox is Syncing: "Syncing ..."
#Dropbox is running: "Up to date..."
STATUS="$(echo `dropbox status` | awk '{print $1;}')"
C_status=#fbf1c7
DROPBOX_ICON=""
if [[ $STATUS == *"Dropbox"* ]]; then
  C_status=#fb4934
elif [[ $STATUS == *"Starting"* ]]; then
  #statements
  ICON=
elif [[ $STATUS == *"Syncing"* ]]; then
  DROPBOX_ICON=
else
  I=1
fi
echo "%{F$C_status}$DROPBOX_ICON%{F}$ICON"
#echo "%{A:dropbox start}$DROPBOX_ICON $ICON%{A}"

The commented echo is what crashes the bar, and I intended on making the click action on the icon one that triggers dropbox

The module in my lemonbuddy config is as follows.

[module/dropbox]
type = custom/script
exec = ~/github/Scripts/dropboxStatus.sh
format-underline = #458588
interval=5

As a side note, I think the wiki should have something about clickable buttons, I am completely new to this so I am horrendously lost.

[jaagr]

You are missing the closing colon of the %{A} tag. The correct syntax is:

%{A:command:}....%{A}

And also the foreground color reset should be:

%{F-}

You are right about the wiki. Input like this is really helpful since it's hard for me to know how it is for new users.

[jaagr]

Of course the invalid tags should not crash the bar so that will need to be fixed.

[jaagr]

I also want to add a hint about the button handlers available for the custom/script module. Info on the wiki.

[g-suraj]

Now I've gone ahead and replaced the %{A} tags to the button handlers instead. Here is the code for it

#!/bin/bash
#Dropbox Status outputs
#Dropbox isn't enabled : "Dropbox"
#Dropbox is startin: "Starting..."
#Dropbox is Syncing: "Syncing ..."
#Dropbox is running: "Up to date..."
STATUS="$(echo `dropbox status` | awk '{print $1;}')"
C_status=#fbf1c7
DROPBOX_ICON=""
if [[ $STATUS == *"Dropbox"* ]]; then
  C_status=#ec644b
elif [[ $STATUS == *"Starting"* ]]; then
  #statements
  ICON=
elif [[ $STATUS == *"Syncing"* ]]; then
  DROPBOX_ICON=
else
  I=1
fi
echo "%{F$C_status}$DROPBOX_ICON%{-F} $ICON"

The module in lemonbar's config file looks as follows

[module/dropbox]
type = custom/script
exec = ~/github/Scripts/dropboxStatus.sh
format-underline = #458588
click-left = dropbox start
interval=2
format-padding = 2

The bar still crashes on a click.

[jaagr]

I will test the script and get back to you

[jaagr]

Try to replace I=1 in the else with exit 0. Fixes it for me.

I don't know why the bar hangs, but I'll look into it.

[g-suraj]

The whole script works fine as it is, dropbox launches accordingly, but the bar crashes and does not update any further. Thanks for looking into this

[jaagr]

I found a bug that caused the execution to be blocked while the sub process was running. Please verify.

[g-suraj]

Whew! Works like a charm now!

[jaagr]

Great! Please report any other issues you encounter.

[blackbart420]

Any chance you integrate this module ?

[jaagr]

@blackbart420 it's a custom/script so you can use whatever @g-suraj posted here.
