loading/saving not working in arduino-ide on Wayland/Sway

I've installed arduino-ide, it starts and I can edit sketches and upload them to the Arduino. However, I can't save or open any of the sketches. Initially I got errors about org.freedesktop.portal.FileChooser not being found. After installing xdg-desktop-portal, xdg-desktop-portal-gtk and xdg-desktop-portal-wlr those errors went away but I still can't open/save files. Most remaining error messages are about handlers not being registered but I don't really know what they refer to. From some online search I thought it may have to do with electron. Initially arduino-ide was running under XWayland so I tried to run it natively under Wayland by adding --ozone-platform-hint=auto. It did run under Wayland (no xeyes movement) but the same errors occurred.

I don't really know what else to check to figure out what's wrong. Does anybody know what could be the issue?

Here's a pastebin of the messages I get when starting arduino-ide (using xwayland). I'm on Arch Linux with Wayland/Sway. All packages are up-to-date.

Thanks for your help!

Re: loading/saving not working in arduino-ide on Wayland/Sway

Are the correct environments for setting this up loaded? Do you use the sample sway config as the baseline? https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XDG_De … ly_on_sway

Re: loading/saving not working in arduino-ide on Wayland/Sway

Hey, thanks for your reply.

You mean the environment variables XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP and WAYLAND_DISPLAY, right? They are set to 'sway' and 'wayland-1'. The end of my config file contains the line 'include /etc/sway/config.d/*' and that folder contains the default '50-systemd-user.conf' file.

I'm not using the default config file but an edited version. However, I've just tried with the default file and the same errors occur.

Here's the output of 'systemctl --user show-environment', if that helps:

HOME=/home/xyz
LANG=en_GB.UTF-8
LOGNAME=xyz
MAIL=/var/spool/mail/xyz
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin
SHELL=/bin/bash
USER=xyz
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/run/user/1000/bus
DISPLAY=:0
SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/run/user/1000/gcr/ssh
SWAYSOCK=/run/user/1000/sway-ipc.1000.1029.sock
WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-1
XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=sway

Thanks for your help!

So I didn't figure out what caused the issue. Instead of the pacman package I'm now using the appimage from the arduino website, which seems to work...
