Change the way we retrieve the apps about workspaces HOT 7 OPEN

Ok I found the issue, I just have to find a better way to execute those apps!

from workspaces.

Hi! I am not sure if it is the same or a different issue.
I tried the app today and I was able to choose Slack from flatpak. But unfortunately, I wasn't able to run it.
Not sure if it is relevant but I installed it via AppCenter on Elementary.

[EDIT] I tested the version from flatpak and that one indeed doesn't show flatpak apps.

Hey! Thanks for your quick response!

I am on 5.1.7

I uninstalled Flatpak version and installed AppCenter version back.

I run workspaces with /usr/bin/com.github.devalien.workspaces and there is zero output when I click the workspace name. It just finishes the program and gets back to the command line.

As an experiment I've set Run in terminal and then when I click test it opens a new tab and prints:

error: No command specified

See '/usr/bin/flatpak --help'

When I hit ESC to leave preferences I also see: (com.github.devalien.workspaces:7438): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 19:52:37.614: g_object_ref: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

If there is a way to provide you with more helpful logs or enable verbose mode, I am happy to help :)

No need to apologize :) Happy to help :) BTW, If that env variable is the standard way of getting info for bug reports, I'd encourage to add it to issue template alongside the system information.

Here is the log.

The program prints the first 5 lines after the start and only the last one when clicking the workspace name. The same line prints when I hit the test button in preferences.

Looks like for flatpack it doesn't provide which program it wants to actually run. That would explain why only flatpack programs don't work.

same here:
workspaces does not find the apps from $HOME/.local/share/flatpak/exports/share/applications/

workarround is to start it by commandline.
e.g.:
flatpak run com.gitlab.librebob.Athenaeum
