Issue
A command works just fine running it from the "run" prompt, but does not work using awful.util.spawn or awful.util.span_with_shell
Example
This works in the "run" prompt, but not using awful.util.spawn:
mate-screenshot --area
This works in the "run" prompt AND works using awful.util.spawn:
mate-screenshot
The difference between these 2 commands is that with the --area flag, mate-screenshot waits for a user action (selecting an area to screenshot) before it opens the GUI.
Question
How can I debug situations like this in Awesome? I've tried capturing STDERR and STDOUT form the commands that don't work, but there are never any errors to print
