Subject: [bug#38721] [PATCH] gnu: Add i3-gaps
Date: Wed, 25 Dec 2019 08:15:32 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAJ=hFwRXMuSMHAuSMdF4TPXXE8qFTWrATiG3vnvix8O4nar9pQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20191223085157.26468-1-brown121407@member.fsf.org>

After it got merged into master with the inheritance modification, I
installed it over the one I had installed from my original script and
it seemed to work fine. But I think that's just because I didn't
reboot to reload the i3 executable.

Now that I shutdown and opened my machine again, i3-gaps specific
commands don't work. To test this, write `i3-msg gaps` in a shell. If
it does NOT work, it will output something like:

brown@121407 ~$ i3-msg gaps
ERROR: Your command: gaps
ERROR:               ^^^^
ERROR: Expected one of these tokens: <a long list of stuff that
represent valid commands>

However, it seems that gaps work if I remove the package, install it
from the original package definition (without Brett's (inherit i3-wm))
and reboot. The following output means that i3-gaps has been correctly
installed:

brown@121407 ~$ i3-msg gaps
ERROR: Your command: gaps
ERROR:
ERROR: Expected one of these tokens: 'inner', 'outer', 'horizontal',
'vertical', 'top', 'right', 'bottom', 'left'

This is strange. I still don't know enough about the packaging API to
troubleshoot this all just by having a quick look at i3-gaps'
definition. I'll try to investigate this issue but I encourage someone
more knowledgeable than me too look into this too.
