Describe the bug
I'm on Hyprland and I'm having the issue that after a while the focused workspace is "stuck" at a certain number and won't change until I issue ironbar reload. Also, no new workspaces are recognized and added. Everything else (like hover) seems to still work fine.

The log might be helpful (maybe?):

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Use Hyprland on an external screen
  2. Have ironbar running
  3. Switch off the screen, then switch it on again
  4. Switch the current workspace to another one
  5. The focused workspace is stuck at the one that it was before switching off the screen

Expected behavior
The focused workspace changes in sync with the Hyprland workspace

System information:

  • Distro: NixOS 24.11
  • Compositor: Hyprland 0.45.2 built from branch v0.45.2-b at commit 12f9a0d0b93f691d4d9923716557154d74777b0a
  • Ironbar version: 0.16.1

I also tested this with this PR: https://github.com/JakeStanger/ironbar/pull/748 to the same result.

OK, I did some more digging, that's probably worth a separate comment.

The hyprland client dies trying to parse this bit:

DATA: [...,{
    "id": 5,
    "name": "5",
    "monitor": "FALLBACK",
    "monitorID": -1,
    "windows": 0,
    "hasfullscreen": false,
    "lastwindow": "0x0",
    "lastwindowtitle": ""
},{
    "id": 7,
    "name": "7",
    "monitor": "?",
    "monitorID": null, // <--- Here, exactly
    "windows": 0,
    "hasfullscreen": false,
    "lastwindow": "0x0",
    "lastwindowtitle": ""
}]

As monitorID is only allowed to be a i128 (and not null). I can't really tell where to look for the culprit now. Is this something Hyprland should not be doing, or is this something that hyprland-rs should fix? In any case, this might not be something that can be solved within ironbar, so I'm closing this.

Just for completeness' sake, it's kind of connected to this: https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/issues/7608

Hyprland has practically no spec for its IPC so hard to tell. You have to sorta work on the basis that what Hyprland says goes, so if it's sending null the IPC client should support that.

I'm reopening this as there is now work being done in hyprland-rs and it would require an update of that dependency.

Furthermore I'd like to flag the other error messages that pop up when switching off a screen:

2025-01-12T14:13:28.583985Z ERROR GTK: 111: [Gdk] CRITICAL: gdk_monitor_get_scale_factor: assertion 'GDK_IS_MONITOR (monitor)' failed

The most concerning thing about this error message is that it is logged over 120 times within 1 second, I guess.

Also this but I think this is probably expected

Adding the blocked tag as unfortunately hyprland-rs looks pretty dead currently, and hasn't had a commit in 4 months.

I've updated the Hyprland IPC crate to new release, which includes a few fixes. Has that helped/resolved the issue?
