Issues with xdotool and finding window IDs?

dbrb2 opened this issue · comments

Windows build number:

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.22631.3235]

Your Distribution version:

22.04

Your WSL versions:

WSL version: 2.1.4.0
Kernel version: 5.15.146.1-2
WSLg version: 1.0.60
MSRDC version: 1.2.5105
Direct3D version: 1.611.1-81528511
DXCore version: 10.0.25131.1002-220531-1700.rs-onecore-base2-hyp
Windows version: 10.0.22631.3235

Steps to reproduce:

  • Launch a GUI app from WSL - such as gedit
  • gedit window appears
  • Run xdotool search --name .
  • No window IDs returned (no error either)

WSL logs:

No response

WSL dumps:

No response

Expected behavior:

No response

Actual behavior:

I would (I think?) have expected to see the ID for the open wslg windows in response to the final command above?
Instead there is no error, but no window IDs returned either
