Header namespaces separated by `.` are not supported
mannp opened this issue · comments
Hi there
I am getting the following error from my dconf export and attempted conversion;
dconf2nix: "dconf.settings" (line 160, column 4):
unexpected "."
expecting letter or digit, " ]", "]", "/", "-" or ":"
CallStack (from HasCallStack):
error, called at src/DConf2Nix.hs:35:16 in dconf2nix-0.0.8-DdiL9AwJHriJYUd1qk7zL9:DConf2Nix
Offending dconf line 160 ;
160 [uk.co.ibboard.cawbird]
161 round-avatars=false
162 startup-accounts=['account_name']
163 window-geometry={'account_name': (30, 26, 694, 1182)}
It appears to be complaining about the dot after [uk and I wondered if is a bug or not supported?
Thanks in advance
Hi @mannp ,
I am not sure if that's valid dconf settings but I can tell you that header format is definitely not supported by dconf2nix (and I'm not sure if it should be supported). Header values usually are separated by / AFAIK. E.g.
[org/gnome/nautilus/window-state]
initial-size=(2115, 738)
maximized=false
sidebar-width=485
start-with-sidebar=trueMost dconf docs I can find (e.g. this one) don't mention the usage of . as a separator in the headers. A quick search seems to be pointing to newer versions of Gsettings but I'm not completely sure.
I guess your example is generated by this app? https://github.com/IBBoard/cawbird
If you can share more info on whether . is a valid separator in a donf file, I can consider supporting it. Maybe the maintainers of that application can shed some light as well.
Hi @gvolpe fair points, and I am not sure, but have logged a bug report /query with the cawbird devs.
@mannp @Krutonium I'd appreciate it if any of you could test your applications using . in the headers namespace and report back on #56, I do not use any programs with that format, thanks!
