## [Unreleased]
New Tag Parser (#2303) * refactor(color): Use enum class for color type * Add testcases for tag parser * Make tag parser a pull-style parser Being able to parse single elements at a time gives us more fine-grained error messages, we can also parse as much as possible and only stop after an exception. * fix(color): Parser did not check for invalid chars * tag parser: First full implementation * tag parser: Fix remaining failing tests * tag parser: Replace old parser * tag parser: Treat alignment as formatting tag Makes the structure less complex and the alignment tags really are formatting tags, they are structurally no different from the %{R} tag. * tag parser: Cleanup type definitions All type definitions for tags now live in tags/types.hpp, the parser.hpp only contains the definitions necessary for actually calling the parser, this shouldn't be included in many places (only places that actually do parsing). But many places need the definitions for the tags themselves. * Rename components/parser to tags/dispatch * tag parser: Cleanup * Add changelog

### Breaking
Add initial support for an escape character (#2361) Add a config parser method which, for now, deals only with escaping the literal backslash character and logs an error message to inform the user of the coming change. The error message includes a properly escaped value for the user. As a result of introducing an escape character('\'): - Warn the user of any unescaped backslashes, as they will not be treated as a literal character in the future - For now, still treat a single backslash as a literal character - Treat two consecutive backslashes as a single properly escaped literal backslash Also: - Add documentation about the escape character to polybar(5) manpage - Add info about the escape character to changelog - Add testcases for ParseLineKeyTest - Add new test ParseEscapedValueTest Resolves: First step in #2354 Improve value parsing - Take value arg in as an rvalue reference and move parsed value back - Remove unnecessary if statement - Rename function - Improve error message - Improve function description - Format Add escape character documentation to manpages Add information about the escape character to the polybar(5) manpage. Add info about the esacape character to changelog Add test cases for ParseLineKeyTest Fix ParseLineKeyTest test cases Also make config parser method parse_escaped_value private. Add tests for escaped_value_parser method Also remove unsued include statement Simplify parse_escaped_value in config_parser Remove unnecessary escaped value generation, so we do not have to keep track of index differences.

- We added the backslash escape character (\\) for configuration values. This
means that the literal backslash character now has special meaning in
configuration files, therefore if you want to use it in a value as a literal
backslash, you need to escape it with the backslash escape character. The
parser logs an error if any unescaped backslashes are found in a value. This

affects you only if you are using two consecutive backslashes in a config
value, which will now be interpreted as a single literal backslash.
([`#2354`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/issues/2354))
- We rewrote our formatting tag parser. This shouldn't break anything, if you
experience any problems, please let us know. The new parser now gives errors
for certain invalid tags where the old parser would just silently ignore them.
Adding extra text to the end of a valid tag now produces an error. For example,
tags like `%{T-a}`, `%{T2abc}`, `%{rfoo}`, and others will now start producing
errors. This does not affect you unless you are producing your own invalid
formatting tags (for example in a script).
Use sockets for IPC (#2539) Deprecates not using `polybar-msg` for IPC. Fixes #2532 Closes #2465 Fixes #2504 * Create FIFO specific NamedPipeHandle subclass to PipeHandle * Prototype SocketHandle * Move mainloop up to main.cpp * Pass eventloop to ipc class * Deprecate sending ipc over the named pipe Unfortunately, we can only show the warning in the polybar log and not give the user any feedback because the pipe is one-way * Move eventloop into its own namespace * Prototype ipc socket handling * Remove handles from ipc_client Should be independent from eventloop logic * Remove ipc clients when finished * Add tests for ipc_client decoding * Add callback for complete ipc messages * Remove template param from mixins * Move signal handler to new callback system * Move poll handle to new callback system * Move FSEventHandle to new callback system * Move TimerHandle and AsyncHandle to new callback system * Move PipeHandle to new callback system * Implement socket functionality in new callback system * Correctly reset ipc named pipe handle * Let client close handles in error callback * Wrap client pipe and ipc::client in connection class * Better decoder log messages * Socket path logic * Fix CI warnings * Remove UVHandleGeneric * Fix error when socket folder already exists * Proof of concept message writeback * Restructure ipc files * polybar-msg: Use sockets * polybar-msg: Better syntax for actions * Fix memory leak with fifo After EOF, the pipe wasn't closed and EOF was called all the time, each time allocating a new pipe. * Make polybar-msg compile on its own * Rudimentary writeback for polybar-msg * Fix payload reference going out of scope. * Add IPC documentation * Cleanup polybar-msg code * Specify the v0 ipc message format * Close ipc connection after message * Fix ipc tests * Properly close ipc connections * Fix polybar-msg not working with action string * Write polybar-msg manpage * polybar-msg: Stop using exit() * ipc: Print log message with PID * Add tests for ipc util * polybar-msg: Print PID with success message * ipc: Propagate message errors * Rename ipc::client to ipc::decoder * Rename ipc.cpp to polybar-msg.cpp * ipc: Write encoder function and fix decoder bugs * ipc: Use message format for responses * ipc: Handle wrong message types * ipc: Write back error message if ipc message cannot be processed This only happens for commands and empty actions. Non-empty actions are not immediately executed, but deferred until the next loop iteration. * Remove TODO about deleting runtime directory The socket file is not deleted after socket.close() is called, only after libuv executes the close callback.

- For security reasons, the named pipe at `/tmp/polybar_mqueue.<PID>` had its
permission bits changed from `666` to `600` to prevent sending ipc messages
to polybar processes running under a different user.

build: Bump cmake version to 3.5.0 This includes the changes from polybar/xpp#30 which also updates the minimum cmake version in the xpp submodule
2020-12-22 00:58:21 +00:00
### Build
Update CHANGELOG.md
2021-09-13 18:30:15 +00:00
- New dependency: [libuv](https://github.com/libuv/libuv). At least version 1.3
is required.
build: Bump cmake version to 3.5.0 This includes the changes from polybar/xpp#30 which also updates the minimum cmake version in the xpp submodule
2020-12-22 00:58:21 +00:00
- Bump the minimum cmake version to 3.5
refactor(cmake): Allow targets to be enabled individually Each major target of polybar can now be enabled/disabled while configuring (even polybar itself). The cmake code specific to each target will only run if the target is enabled. This allows us to for example just build the documentation without having to run all the cmake code related to compilation or having the polybar dependencies installed (other than sphinx).
2020-12-22 02:43:06 +00:00
- The `BUILD_IPC_MSG` option has been renamed to `BUILD_POLYBAR_MSG`
- Building the documentation is now enabled by default and not just when
`sphinx-build` is found.
- Users can control exactly which targets should be available with the following
cmake options (together with their default value):
- `BUILD_POLYBAR=ON` - Builds the `polybar` executable
- `BUILD_POLYBAR_MSG=ON` - Builds the `polybar-msg` executable
- `BUILD_TESTS=OFF` - Builds the test suite
- `BUILD_DOC=ON` - Builds the documentation
build: Add option to enable/disable html/manpages
2020-12-22 11:29:26 +00:00
- `BUILD_DOC_HTML=BUILD_DOC` - Builds the html documentation (depends on `BUILD_DOC`)
- `BUILD_DOC_MAN=BUILD_DOC` - Builds the manpages (depends on `BUILD_DOC`)

2020-12-22 02:43:06 +00:00
- `DISABLE_ALL=OFF` - Disables all above targets by default. Individual
targets can still be enabled explicitly.
- The documentation can no longer be built by directly configuring the `doc`
directory.
cmake: Stop using CMAKE_* variables for flags It is not recommended anyway and the -Werror flag set in CI was getting set when compiling gtest, breaking our build.
2021-07-11 12:11:58 +00:00
- The `POLYBAR_FLAGS` cmake variable can be used to pass extra C++ compiler flags.

- Polybar now ships a default config that is installed to
`/etc/polybar/config.ini`, it lives in `doc/config.ini`.
It will also be placed in the `examples` directory in the documentation folder.

Deprecate throttle-output and throttle-output-for The eventloop no longer uses them. libuv will coalesces multiple uv_async_send if they happen one after another and this also leads to coalescing of updates.
2021-09-12 20:48:27 +00:00
### Deprecated
- `[settings]`: `throttle-output` and `throttle-output-for` have been removed.
The new event loop already does a similar thing where it coalesces update
triggers if they happen directly after one another, leading to only a single
bar update.

- Directly writing ipc messages to `/tmp/polybar_mqueue.<PID>` is deprecated,
users should always use `polybar-msg`. As a consequence the message format
used for IPC is deprecated as well.
Eventloop cleanup (#2577) * eventloop: Use eventloop namespace in cpp files * changelog: Add missing deprecated hook message * Make eventloop and ipc classes non-copyable and non-movable * Remove functional.hpp * eventloop: Don't close handles in error cases Client should be responsible for closing handles. * eventloop: Address invalidation of handle references
2022-01-22 21:00:26 +00:00
- `polybar-msg hook` is deprecated in favor of using the hook action.
`polybar-msg` will tell you the correct command to use.

### Added
Add units support (POINT, PIXEL, SPACE) (#2578) * add units support (POINT, PIXEL, SPACE) for polybar - add a size_with_unit struct - add a geometry_format_values struct - move dpi initialisation from renderer.cpp to bar.cpp - add a string to size_with_unit converter - add point support (with pt) - add pixel support (with px) * Fix unit test compilation * clang-format * Better names The old names didn't really capture the purpose of the structs and function. space_type -> spacing_type space_size -> spacing_val size_type -> extent_type geometry -> extent_val geometry_format_values -> percentage_with_offset * Remove parse_size_with_unit No longer needed. The convert<spacing_val> function in config.cpp already does all the work for us and always setting the type to pixel was wrong. In addition, line-size should not be of type spacing_val but extent_val. * Cleanup I tried to address most of my comments on the old PR * Fix renderer width calculation We can't just blindly add the x difference to the width because for example the width should increase if x < width and the increase keeps x < width. Similarly, we can't just add the offset to the width. * Rename geom_format_to_pixels to percentage_with_offset_to_pixel * Cleanup * Apply suggested changes from Patrick on GitHub Co-authored-by: Patrick Ziegler <p.ziegler96@gmail.com> * Update src/components/bar.cpp Co-authored-by: Patrick Ziegler <p.ziegler96@gmail.com> * Update src/components/config.cpp Co-authored-by: Patrick Ziegler <p.ziegler96@gmail.com> * Update src/components/builder.cpp Co-authored-by: Patrick Ziegler <p.ziegler96@gmail.com> * Update src/components/builder.cpp Co-authored-by: Patrick Ziegler <p.ziegler96@gmail.com> * config: Use stod for parsing percentage * Use stof instead of strtof * units: Fix test edge cases * Remove unnecessary clang-format toggle * Use percentage_with_offset for margin-{top,bottom} * Support negative extent values * Rename unit to units and create a cpp file * Move percentage_with_offset_to_pixel unit test to units * Add unit tests for units_utils * Clarify when and how negative spacing/extent is allowed Negative spacing is never allowed and produces a config error. Extents allow negative values in theory, but only a few use-cases accept it. Only the extent value used for the `%{O}` tag and the offset value in percentage_with_offset can be negative. Everything else is capped below at 0. The final pixel value of percentage_with_offset also caps below at 0. * Fix parsing errors not being caught in config * Print a proper error message for uncaught exceptions * Cleanup module::get_output All changes preserve the existing semantics * Stop using remove_trailing_space in module::get_output Instead, we first check if the current tag is built, and only if it is, the spacing is prepended. * Remove unused imports * Restore old behavior If there are two tags and the second one isn't built (module::build returns false), the space in between them is removed. For example in the mpd module: format-online = <toggle> <label-song> foo If mpd is not running, the mpd module will return false when trying to build the `<label-song>` tag. If we don't remove the space between `<toggle>` and `<label-song>`, we end up with two spaces between `<toggle>` and `foo`. This change is to match the old behavior where at least one trailing space character was removed from the builder. * Add changelog entry * Remove unused setting * Use percentage with offset for tray-offset Co-authored-by: Jérôme BOULMIER <jerome.boulmier@outlook.fr> Co-authored-by: Joe Groocock <github@frebib.net>
2022-02-20 20:08:57 +00:00
- Support `px` and `pt` units everyhwere where before only a number of spaces
or pixels could be specified.

feat: Support reading config from non-regular files (#2545) We had a check that restricted config files to "regular files". This check was to restrictive as it didn't allow for things like: ``` polybar -c <(gen_config) gen_config | polybar -c /dev/stdin ``` Now, polybar can easily read config data from stdin.

Add units support (POINT, PIXEL, SPACE) (#2578) * add units support (POINT, PIXEL, SPACE) for polybar - add a size_with_unit struct - add a geometry_format_values struct - move dpi initialisation from renderer.cpp to bar.cpp - add a string to size_with_unit converter - add point support (with pt) - add pixel support (with px) * Fix unit test compilation * clang-format * Better names The old names didn't really capture the purpose of the structs and function. space_type -> spacing_type space_size -> spacing_val size_type -> extent_type geometry -> extent_val geometry_format_values -> percentage_with_offset * Remove parse_size_with_unit No longer needed. The convert<spacing_val> function in config.cpp already does all the work for us and always setting the type to pixel was wrong. In addition, line-size should not be of type spacing_val but extent_val. * Cleanup I tried to address most of my comments on the old PR * Fix renderer width calculation We can't just blindly add the x difference to the width because for example the width should increase if x < width and the increase keeps x < width. Similarly, we can't just add the offset to the width. * Rename geom_format_to_pixels to percentage_with_offset_to_pixel * Cleanup * Apply suggested changes from Patrick on GitHub Co-authored-by: Patrick Ziegler <p.ziegler96@gmail.com> * Update src/components/bar.cpp Co-authored-by: Patrick Ziegler <p.ziegler96@gmail.com> * Update src/components/config.cpp Co-authored-by: Patrick Ziegler <p.ziegler96@gmail.com> * Update src/components/builder.cpp Co-authored-by: Patrick Ziegler <p.ziegler96@gmail.com> * Update src/components/builder.cpp Co-authored-by: Patrick Ziegler <p.ziegler96@gmail.com> * config: Use stod for parsing percentage * Use stof instead of strtof * units: Fix test edge cases * Remove unnecessary clang-format toggle * Use percentage_with_offset for margin-{top,bottom} * Support negative extent values * Rename unit to units and create a cpp file * Move percentage_with_offset_to_pixel unit test to units * Add unit tests for units_utils * Clarify when and how negative spacing/extent is allowed Negative spacing is never allowed and produces a config error. Extents allow negative values in theory, but only a few use-cases accept it. Only the extent value used for the `%{O}` tag and the offset value in percentage_with_offset can be negative. Everything else is capped below at 0. The final pixel value of percentage_with_offset also caps below at 0. * Fix parsing errors not being caught in config * Print a proper error message for uncaught exceptions * Cleanup module::get_output All changes preserve the existing semantics * Stop using remove_trailing_space in module::get_output Instead, we first check if the current tag is built, and only if it is, the spacing is prepended. * Remove unused imports * Restore old behavior If there are two tags and the second one isn't built (module::build returns false), the space in between them is removed. For example in the mpd module: format-online = <toggle> <label-song> foo If mpd is not running, the mpd module will return false when trying to build the `<label-song>` tag. If we don't remove the space between `<toggle>` and `<label-song>`, we end up with two spaces between `<toggle>` and `foo`. This change is to match the old behavior where at least one trailing space character was removed from the builder. * Add changelog entry * Remove unused setting * Use percentage with offset for tray-offset Co-authored-by: Jérôme BOULMIER <jerome.boulmier@outlook.fr> Co-authored-by: Joe Groocock <github@frebib.net>

This option was tested and confirmed to work with xmonad which doesn't have a special top-level window and therefore doesn't require special handling like bspwm and i3.

Add support for a `tray-foreground` setting. (#2552) This adds a new `tray-foreground` config option, and uses it instead of the `tray-background` setting to build up the `_NET_SYSTEM_TRAY_COLORS` property. I'm pretty sure that the previous behavior was a mistake (this was introduced in 94298741b6de08e79131006504850820bdff9024 which is a pretty large diff). For me and some other people, this results in a black icon being drawn on top of a black background, which is pretty useless! I would say that this diff fixes https://github.com/polybar/polybar/issues/2235. Note: the old code dealt with `unsigned int` and maxed values out at 0xff. The new code deals with `uint16_t` and maxes values out at 0xffff. I haven't found the relevant documentation to justify this change, but from manually testing, I'm pretty confident this is the right change. This all matches pretty closely with this code from i3: [`i3bar/src/xcb.c::init_tray_colors` code](https://github.com/i3/i3/blob/43e805a00d1835db4fc0730ce5003956824b350d/i3bar/src/xcb.c#L1490-L1522), which you can see also uses the bar's foreground color and maxes values out at 0xffff, not 0xff. If you merge this up, I think we should also update https://github.com/polybar/polybar/wiki/Configuration#bar-settings to mention the new settings. Fixes #2235

The xworkspaces module should wait for EWMH to become available (#2429) * The xworkspaces module should wait for EWMH to become available Before this change if EWMH wasn't available the xworkspaces module was permanently disabled. When polybar was started alongside the window manager e.g. from .xinitrc this caused a race condition between polybar and the window manager and the xworkspaces module may or may not be displayed. After this change polybar will wait for EWMH to become available. This change closes #1915, see that issue for more details. Curiously this only required the removal of the error condition which used the be raised when EWMH wasn't available. The xworkspaces module will show up on the bar as soon as the first EWMH event is processed by the existing event handling code. I can't argue much about the correctness of this patch but it seems to work flawlessly in my testing with xmonad. I didn't test any other window managers. Note that removing the error condition below which checks that _NET_DESKTOP_VIEWPORT is available might make this work with pin-workspaces=true. I couldn't test the effects of that change because I only tested with xmonad and xmonad doesn't support _NET_DESKTOP_VIEWPORT, so I didn't make that change. * xworkspaces: Remove check fo _NET_DESKTOP_VIEWPORT Implementations that don't support it will just return an empty list for get_desktop_viewports and pin-workspaces won't do anything. * Update changelog Fixes #1915 Co-authored-by: Tim Schumacher <tim@timakro.de> Co-authored-by: patrick96 <p.ziegler96@gmail.com>

- `custom/ipc`: Empty output strings are no longer formatted. This prevents
extraneous spaces and separators from appearing in the bar when the output of
an ipc module is empty.

The xworkspaces module should wait for EWMH to become available (#2429) * The xworkspaces module should wait for EWMH to become available Before this change if EWMH wasn't available the xworkspaces module was permanently disabled. When polybar was started alongside the window manager e.g. from .xinitrc this caused a race condition between polybar and the window manager and the xworkspaces module may or may not be displayed. After this change polybar will wait for EWMH to become available. This change closes #1915, see that issue for more details. Curiously this only required the removal of the error condition which used the be raised when EWMH wasn't available. The xworkspaces module will show up on the bar as soon as the first EWMH event is processed by the existing event handling code. I can't argue much about the correctness of this patch but it seems to work flawlessly in my testing with xmonad. I didn't test any other window managers. Note that removing the error condition below which checks that _NET_DESKTOP_VIEWPORT is available might make this work with pin-workspaces=true. I couldn't test the effects of that change because I only tested with xmonad and xmonad doesn't support _NET_DESKTOP_VIEWPORT, so I didn't make that change. * xworkspaces: Remove check fo _NET_DESKTOP_VIEWPORT Implementations that don't support it will just return an empty list for get_desktop_viewports and pin-workspaces won't do anything. * Update changelog Fixes #1915 Co-authored-by: Tim Schumacher <tim@timakro.de> Co-authored-by: patrick96 <p.ziegler96@gmail.com>

2021-05-23 23:00:50 +00:00
## [3.5.6] - 2021-05-24
fix(build): Disable sphinx manpage section dirs Before sphinx 4.0, this was the default but was changed in 4.0. Now by default the folder structure looks like this: man ├── 1 │   └── polybar.1 └── 5 └── polybar.5 This restores the old behavior where there weren't individual folders for the different sections. Fixes #2424 Ref: https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/changes.html#id14
2021-05-09 19:19:15 +00:00
### Build
- Support building documentation on sphinx 4.0 ([`#2424`](https://github.com/polybar/polybar/issues/2424))
fix(tray): Support clients with different depths XCB_BACK_PIXMAP_PARENT_RELATIVE requires that the client has the same depth as the tray window. There was an issue with dropbox having a depth of 32 and the tray window having a depth of 24 that caused the configuration of the icon to fail. It would then be displayed outside of the bar because the catch block was not hit (different exception). We now just don't configure XCB_CW_BACK_PIXMAP. This seems to work and is also what stalonetray does. This does not fix the issue with dropbox having an arbitrary background. Fixes #1679 Fixes #2430
2021-05-18 09:02:10 +00:00
