Re^4: scripting i3 with Perl

in thread scripting i3 with Perl

This is what I get:

empty workspace!!
Switched back to workspace 1
$VAR1 = bless( {
                 '_ae_sent' => [
                                 [
                                   {
                                     'success' => bless( do{\(my $o = 
+1)}, 'JSON::PP::Boolean' )
                                   }
                                 ]
                               ]
               }, 'AnyEvent::CondVar' );

However no switching occurs. No clue what is going on there...

So, the i3 API tells you that all is well. This sounds more like a problem with i3 to me. Maybe consider delaying the switching a bit. Set a timer (`AnyEvent->timer(after => 3, sub {...})` and trigger the desktop switch from that timed callback instead of triggering it directly.	[reply] [d/l]

Thanks for your input but if I have to resort to experimentation even for the most trivial cases, this is not for me. I'll do my i3 scripting in python then.	[reply]
