Bemenu scripting problem

Savant · 2020-10-02 14:26:45

Hello,

I have a problem with via scripts. I'm using it with bemenu. It works fine when run from urxvt with zsh but breaks when run from shortcut on i3. Here are slightly modified versions of that scripts:

via-menu

#!/bin/bash

bemenu -H 18 --fn "AcPlus IBM VGA 9x16" --tb="#458588" --tf='#EBDBB2' --fb='#282828' --ff="#EBDBB2" --nb='#282828' --nf='#EBDBB2' --hb='#458588' --hf='#EBDBB2' --sb='#282828' --sf='#EBDBB2' -p "via" -i -l 5

via-feed

#!/bin/bash

cache="$HOME/.cache/via"

if [[ "$1" == "-r" ]] || [[ ! -e "$cache" ]]; then
        cat "$HOME/.config/via/shortcuts" > "$cache"
        cat "$HOME/.config/via/websites" >> "$cache"
        find "/home/savant/" -mindepth 1 \( -name ".cache" -o -path "$HOME/code/*" -o -name ".cargo" -o -name ".local" -o -name ".rustup" -o -name ".npm" \) -prune -o -print | sort >> "$cache" 
fi

cat "$cache"

via-open

#!/bin/bash

exec &> /dev/null

while read arg; do
        # first try matching by filename or pathname
        case "${arg,,}" in
                http*)
                        $BROWSER "$arg" &
                        ;;
                [^/]*) # doesn't start with '/'
                        sh -c "$arg"
                        ;;
                *.txt)
                        $TERMINAL -e $EDITOR "$arg" &
                        ;;
                *.pdf | *.epub)
                        mupdf "$arg" &
                        ;;
                *.mp3)
                        $TERMINAL -e mpg123 -opulse "$arg" &
                        ;;
                *.od[tsp]|*.doc|*.docx|*.ppt|*.pptx|*.xls|*.xlsx)
                        libreoffice "$arg" &
                        ;;
                *)
                        # then try matching by mimetype
                        mimetype=$(file -Lb --mime-type "$arg")
                        case "$mimetype" in
                                text/html)
                                        $BROWSER "$arg" &
                                        ;;
                                text/* | inode/x-empty | message/rfc822)
                                        $TERMINAL -e $EDITOR "$arg" &
                                        ;;
                                inode/directory)
                                        $TERMINAL -e ranger "$arg" &
                                        ;;
                                image/*)
                                        sxiv "$arg" &
                                        ;;
                                video/*)
                                        mpv "$arg" &
                                        ;;
                                *)
                                        exit 1
                                        ;;
                        esac
                        ;;
        esac
done

Have you installed bemenu-x11 ?

Savant · 2020-10-02 16:26:21

Yes, I did

Docbroke · 2020-10-02 16:31:59

Can you post the shortcut used in i3 ?

Savant · 2020-10-02 16:47:47

Here it is

bindsym $mod+d exec bemenu-run -H 18 --fn "AcPlus IBM VGA 9x16" --tb="#458588" --tf='#EBDBB2' --fb='#282828' --ff="#EBDBB2" --nb='#282828' --nf='#EBDBB2' --hb='#458588' --hf='#EBDBB2' --sb='#282828' --sf='#EBDBB2' --prompt='run' 
bindsym $mod+s exec zsh -c via

1. is "via" in path ?
2. have you tried running only 'bemenu-run' without all arguments ? Probably it is failing due to multiple arguments. You can make a shell script with all the arguments and use that script in i3 config.
