Most plugins exiting without (apparent) reason about i3blocks HOT 9 CLOSED

I just reproduced your problem.

For now, replace the call status_command in your i3 config with:
status_command SCRIPT_DIR=/usr/libexec/i3blocks i3blocks

For future reference, error 127 from any Korn compatible shell is a command not found error.

This is an upstream issue.

@vivien, I don't know how you want to handle this but the default config has that variable in it.

• Do you want to remove it from the default config and replace it with /usr/libexec/i3blocks/?
• Set that as a default variable for config execution in the C source?
• Allow environment variables to be set in the config?
• Or just add it to the header documentation of the included config that this is a thing?

You can also debug this with using the -vvv file (increases log level). Now sure how much it'll help in this case, though.

Thanks @Nycroth , that solved the problem, I didn't know anything about that kind of error codes, one more thing to look further =D

@Nycroth, I don't think there is an issue with the default config. If you use make install, the $SCRIPT_DIR variable is replaced by the wanted libexec dir. Otherwise, calling i3blocks with a SCRIPT_DIR value is OK, as you correctly pointed out.

@lsmag for information, how did you install i3blocks on your Arch?

It seems like I have something similar, but the exit code is 126..
BTW, I have zsh installed and used

What about you @mrcaaattt, how did you install i3blocks? You may want to check your config and check error debug messages with i3blocks -vv >/dev/null

It seems that it wasn't set executable. Just had to chmod +x it. Weird, the first time I installed it, it was okay, but since I reinstalled my system, I needed to chmod it first. Thanks though.

I close the issue since it is solved. We can continue discussion on installation tweaks though.

If you are seeing error 127 with python blocks only, make sure you downloaded the Block's requirements for your system's python environment.

Using anaconda's python and running i3blocks from terminal will show the scripts working. But text won't be shown on the bar.
