Taffybar crashes when using Discord about taffybar HOT 9 CLOSED

Interesting. I suppose that we should guard the file access that is happening there, but it seems like discord is doing something strange as well.

Hey @FireSpike0 My hope is that taffybar/gtk-sni-tray@d94a9e3 has fixed this issue. IS there any chance you could verify whether or not this is the case?

from taffybar.

I'll try it out as soon as possible and give you an update after that...

Even though it's difficult to test, because Taffybar crashed after a random amount of time, it seems fixed now as far as I can tell. Thank you for your quick support. :)

@FireSpike0 are you able to see any logs taffybar produces? If it worked, there should be new warning level logs that describe an error from time to time when taffybar previously would have crashed. Are you building your own taffybar? How are you able to use the right version of grk-sni-tray?

from taffybar.

When starting Taffybar the normal way I do, I'm not able to see any log output. When using Discord the next time I'll start my wrapper script which dumps the log output to a file and check that out.
Regarding your other questions: Yes, I build my own version of Taffybar using a Stack project.

The only problem I have is that I was not able to specify the Git commit version of gtk-sni-tray within my snapshot.yaml (which would be a real solution because I share the snapshot.yaml across several Haskell projects related to my desktop environment)

A release is coming soon so you should be able to use that.

@FireSpike0 sorry to ping on an unrelated issue, but I've been searching forever for a good taffybar-stack example. The one in the repo is very dated. Any chance you'd be willing to share your full taffybar configuration? Maybe in return, I could minimize it and produce some documentation for taffybar.

@samtay I don't think stack should be very hard. I belive that taffybar itself should be the only extra-dep you need, unless you are using a very recent nightly resolver.
