Not working on plasma 5.21 about sticky-window-snapping HOT 6 CLOSED

It worked after a clean install.

from sticky-window-snapping.

Do the following files and directories exist?

~/.local/share/kwin/scripts/sticky-window-snapping/
~/.local/share/kservices5/kwin-script-sticky-window-snapping.desktop

% tree ~/.local/share/kwin/scripts/sticky-window-snapping/
├── contents/
│   ├── code/
│   │   └── main.js
│   ├── config/
│   │   └── main.xml
│   └── ui/
│       └── config.ui
├── gpl-2.0.txt
└── metadata.desktop

You can start KWin with log output enabled:

If you are not sure if the script is actually loaded, try adding a debug print at the beginning of ~/.local/share/kwin/scripts/sticky-window-snapping/contents/code/main.js and restart KWin as shown above.

print('Hello World!');

from sticky-window-snapping.

This my folder structure:

I restarted kwin and got this message:

kwin_scripting: /home/rosostolato/.local/share/kwin/scripts/sticky-window-snapping/contents/code/main.js:38: error: enabledCurrently is not defined

from sticky-window-snapping.

So looking at the code, I saw that the enabledCurrently variable was not defined inside the code.
So I changed it from
enabledCurrently = config.enabledUsually;
to:
var enabledCurrently = config.enabledUsually;

It's not throwing error anymore but it still doesn't work... probably that variable should be global for kwin scripts, I'm not sure.

from sticky-window-snapping.

Hmm. Strange. My KWin (5.21.1) does not complain about the missing var. Anyways, some more vars were already added in the current development version. Can you try if it works with that version?

It did not work... I believe it has something related to my kde installation.

What happened was that I installed kde neon developer edition a couple of months ago but then when plasma 5.21.1 came out, I ran a script to switch back to the user edition. It seems that it worked but I see that I still have the beta version of kwin:

But it's weird that while I was using developer edition, sticky window was working just fine and it stopped working after I changed it, but it seems that kwin kept the same version but stopped working.

Maybe I'll need to reinstall kde neon =(
