Plasma 5.8.2 - yakuake-session doesn't focus a new opened window

[Ignacio Taranto]

Running yakuake-session from konsole or by launching directly from dolphin (Shift+F4) does not shows the yakuake window, although it was opened in the background.
The error message is:
$ yakuake-session
Cannot find '.Get' in object /yakuake/MainWindow_1 at org.kde.yakuake
[2]+ Done yakuake

Tested on openSUSE: Leap 42.2 with KDE Plasma 5.8.2

Hi,

Thank for report this issue. I don't have Plasma 5.8 yet so could you run:

qdbus org.kde.yakuake /yakuake/MainWindow_1

and send me its output?

[Ignacio Taranto]

Here's the output:
$ qdbus org.kde.yakuake /yakuake/MainWindow_1
Error: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownObject
No such object path '/yakuake/MainWindow_1'

[Jesús Torres]

Ok. I suppose that /yakuake/MainWindow_1 exists.

And?

$ qdbus org.kde.yakuake

[Ignacio Taranto]

Sorry I forgot you haven't Plasma 5.8 to test:
$ qdbus org.kde.yakuake
/
/MainApplication
/Sessions
/Sessions/1
/Windows
/Windows/1
/org
/org/kde
/org/kde/yakuake
/yakuake
/yakuake/sessions
/yakuake/tabs
/yakuake/window

Thank you.

There is a related bug filed 5 months ago:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=364705

I have to see if there is other way to see if the windows is visible. The API have only a method to toggle the visibility state. So I'd hide the window If I call that method when the windows is already visible.

The same error n Manjaro Linux(

[Jesús Torres]

Yakuake-session now uses xprop command as fallback to get if the windows is visible when /yakuake/MainWindow_1 interface isn't available.

Thanks!
