Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/JakeStanger/ironbar/issues/1248

Describe the bug

First of all see https://github.com/JakeStanger/ironbar/issues/1028

This worked on the GTK3 version, but with the current master and the same setup (see below for config) an attempt to show the popup fails with an error message and hides the bar.

To reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Add a custom module (see below for config)
Run ironbar bar bar1 show-popup bindmode-hints
Error message: error Module has no popup functionality
Also Ironbar hides

Expected behavior

Popup shows up and the bar stays visible.

System information:

Distro: NixOS
Compositor: Hyprland
Ironbar version: Current master caaa97c

Configuration

Config

{
  "start": [
    {
      "type": "custom",
      "name": "bindmode-hints",
      "bar": [
        {
          "type": "button",
          "on_click": "popup:toggle",
          "widgets": [
            {
              "type": "bindmode"
            }
          ]
        }
      ],
      "popup": [
        {
          "label": "#bindmode-hints",
          "type": "label"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Styles

Additional context

Other issues

ironbar bar bar1 toggle-popup bindmode-hints prints ok but doesn't actually toggle it.
After ironbar bar bar1 show, subsequent show-popup do not hide the bar.
First ironbar bar bar1 show hides the bar, consequent shows keep it visible.

Thanks for reporting. I did spot this and started looking into it, but didn't get anywhere and forgot. I'll make sure this is sorted prior to next release.

Hmmm not sure it's completely fixed? I could open it with a mouse click, but not with an IPC command. E.g. for https://github.com/JakeStanger/ironbar/issues/1028#issuecomment-2994298427 I still get

error
Module has no popup functionality

You're right, sorry. I looked at the "other issues" and missed the main one.
