bumblebee-status: Module's left-click not working for some commands

Bug Report

Description

Affected module: weather Version used: latest on git (main branch)

I’m trying to override left-click action on some modules and I can’t make it work.

How to reproduce

I’ve tried the following:

weather.left-click="/usr/bin/firefox --new-tab 'www.google.com/search?q=weather'"

I experienced this with a other modules as well but thought it was something to do with i3 (I’m trying to execute i3 commands when clicking on the widgets and cannot make it work either). Things like pavucontrol work just fine.

Alright. I got it working!! I just removed double quotes from the command:

weather.left-click=/usr/bin/firefox --new-tab 'www.google.com/search?q=weather'

I don’t know why I didn’t try that before. Is this an expected way of setting a cli command? Maybe it DOES have to do with single/double quotes inside the command, right?

Anyway, thanks for the help debugging this problem. You folks rock!. @tobi-wan-kenobi feel free to close this issue if you think the single/double quotes thing is not a bug.

@cristianmiranda I am suprised it works without the quotes 😛

But glad it works now!

We could try to compare logs.

@tobi-wan-kenobi is there a way to run the status bar with -d (not CLI, in i3-config) and attach the log to a specific file? thinking

Yes, I did the following:

-d -f ~/logs/bumblebee-status-debug

Is that enough info or you want me to check something else?
