The tag history kept a strong reference to a screen even after that
screen was removed. This prevented the garbage collector from cleaning
up.
Fix this by getting rid of the tag history on screen removal.

Right now, there is still a memory leak *only* when there is active
`box` notification when the screen is removed. I failed to identify
where *this* leak is comming from. The previous few commits fix
~5 other leaks.
The API level concept is something used by other projects such as
Android and iOS to allow deprecated features to be removed and the
bahavior to be altered without breaking compability with existing
code.
The same will apply to AwesomeWM. The current API level is "4" and
as long as config use this, no deprecation or bahavior change will
be exposed. If the user sets it to an higher value or we release
the next major version and new users start to use the, then current,
default config, they will use the new API level.
The the far future, if ever, we could fork the entire Lua libraries
to support legacy APIs. This would only require to keep the core
API support for those legacy calls. In the meantime, `gears.debug`
will use this to manage the deprecation and some conditional code
will be added as a last resort attempt to preserve behavior
compatibility while moving forward with breaking changes.
The next commit will add modeline support. By default, modelines have
the final work on which options to set. However, mostly for testing,
this isn't flexible enough.
From now on, all core object will have their own rules. `awful.rules`
hardcodes some client specific code. All `rules` module have some form
of class specific code. This code will now be part of a new module
called `ruled`. Since a year or so, a lot of work has been done to
refactor the rules on top of the shared `gears.matcher` class. This way
there wont be as much duplication.
The default `rc.lua` was using the focus/unfocus signals to set
the border color along with `awful.rules`. This logic block was
no longer aligned with the rest of `rc.lua` since it was
the only place where `beautiful` variables where only used by
`rc.lua`.
On top of this, the new request handler also has extra contexts
for the urgent and floating/maximixed use cases. So it can be used
by themes to implement much smarter borders than just focus based
ones. They were previously limited by the fact most of the
(un-monkey-patchable) logic was in `rc.lua`.
Note that this commit also shuffle the awful.rules order between
the titlebar and the border and changes the tests accordignly.
After some consideration, I came to the conclusion the previous
behavior was bogus and the fact that the placement tests required
to know about the titlebar height is simply a proof of that. The
change was required in this commit because since the border is no
longer in the default rules, a new buggy edge case surfaced.
They currently fit the general concept of a `request::` in the sense
that they are not property related and have "request handlers".
The commit also add deprecation for signals.
The reason for this fits within the larger standardization project.
Non-namespaced signals will eventually be renamed. This has started
a long time ago.
What is old is new again. Once upon a time, there was a `startup`
parameter to the `manage` signal. It is now back in the form of
a context.
Finally, this commit removes the `manage` section of `rc.lua`. It no
longer did anything worthy of being in the config. Each of its
important parts have been moved out over the years and the last
remaining bit is always required anyway. The code has been moved
to `client.lua`.
* Add a better descrition for the `imagebox` role in the wiboxes system ;
* Improve image + code render and integration into the descrition ;
* Add a second code exemple to show both coding style (imperative and declarative).
I think the user can now have a better overview of what's a `wibox.widget.imagebox` and how to use it.
Change how wibox are drawn to build a more flexible function reusable in the context of clients.
Add `clients` option to the template. This new option needs an associative table `{ ['label'] = client }` to work. Where label will be a text rendered on the middle of the client area.
Add a new example: `texts/examples/screen/tiled_clients.lua`.
Rulers insertion order impact the result of the bubble sort algorithm.
By inverting the order, we can make the output image looking more natural.
Awesome's screen properties can be seen like this:
* The screen has a geometry (its size) ;
* Inside there is the workarea ;
* Inside there is the tiling_area.
It seems better to draw rulers in this order.
Another step in moving these APIs toward the common object oriented and
declarative paradigms used by other APIs.
This commit introduces the `awful.keyboard` module. It currenly only
exists as a placeholder for the first few append/remove function, but
will grow in scope in another pull request to expose the currently
private modifier APIs and to provide keybindings collision detection
and replace some of `awful.hotkey_popup` business logic.
The `keygrabber` tests which uses root keybindings are disabled for
now to keep the commit size small. This is necessary since the shims
will need many iterations of changes before this work again with the
new syntax.
Try both legacy and standardized code paths. Also try invalid mixes of
them in case some modules abuse of rc.lua and ingest the wrong format
by accident.
There is no better place to put it and need to always be required
for backward compatibility. Given Awesome no longer works properly
without `awful`, I put the code there.
This isn't very nice and pulls all sort of almost useless code into
the shims, making them less atomic. However the next few commits
will start another round of API standardization and the compatibility
layer wont be optional anymore.
This template allows to display a sequence of events for the clients,
tags and screens. Currently, it is hard to display images where the
state of an object is more complex than "here how it was before" and
"here how it is now". With this template, it is possible to have a
timeline of events from the initial states to the final states.
Now, as the line count shows, this isn't small. It is in fact an
enormous template. Worst still, this commit is the first *half* of
it. The second half adds the ability to `print()`, display
inline code and support mouse and keyboard events. The code also isn't
world class. Maintaining this template might be non-trivial in the
long run. I am fully aware of those issues. On the other hand, there
is ~100 places where this will be used once the entire
"new rule library" project is completed. This will bring the ~1.2k
line of code to ~12 lines per consumer. From that point of view,
it makes a lot more sense to merge this given how useful it is
at explaining changes within the "core objects".
It is also important to keep in mind that there is currently very
little or no documentation (beside the mandatory one-liner summary)
for these concepts. Those are the most important aspects of AwesomeWM
API and they are the least documented. This is just wrong.
Previously, it would create screens outside of a visible output area. In
the following commit, this will be tracked and a warning is printed when
it happens. This makes the test fail.
Both commit 44e6b2d24e and 4eda67ce54 added the same function to this
file (and by the commit message, the later was intended to do so, while
the former has an unrelated commit message (but does not contain any
other changes)).

* test-selection-transfer: clarify comment / condense

block.

* tests/_runner.lua: add support for wait_per_step
Might be good to have a short version of it (single line), but extra
lines are indented, so this seems to be OK.
This helps / shows when the built version is not up-to-date (e.g. after
git-bisect), and serves as a basic check that it can be run in the first
place.
In case of error, well, make an error, but update the content anyway.
This will be enough for the CI but makes development less painful.
Also update the cmake targets to re-generate them more often.
Previously it was possible to manipulate deleted screens and that
made debugging harder down the line. By catching this early, it
wont be as nightmarish.
The way background are rendered changed to accomodate issues regarding
cliping and border. However this broke the documentation examples.
This commit fixes this in the least hacky way I found.

In order to test the behavior of awful.placement.no_overlap with

This commit also add some "magic" comments to existing tests so they
render correctly. Note that some older commits predates these "magic"
comments, which is why they are not there.
This way their name doesn't get mangle by the broken magic. It will also
eventually allow to `error()` in the template when the implicit
`@function` is used.
This commit also fixes a large number of issues found while
proof-reading everything.
- Fill slider bar with a linear pattern based on current value (if `bar_active_color` and `bar_color` are correctly provided)
- Add examples for the apidoc
* naughty.legacy: Fix a regression caused by a prior fix.
The title was only set "later" because it was called too early.
The intended result was to prevent the code from being executed when
there is no leagcy popup, but it had this side effect.
* naughty.dbus: Expose the new "private" methods so they can be tested.
Because it now uses Gio instead of capi.dbus, it isn't possible to
just shim the backend anymore.
* shims: Upgrade the dbus shims to also emulate some Gio behavior.
As usual, it is the most basic version that produces the correct
result. It doesn't try to comply to the real API.
The tests for naughty are currently broken, because naughty.dbus now
uses Gio for interacting with DBus, but the tests still try to use
awesome's dbus object. Turn the resulting weird error into something a
lot less cryptic.

This will avoid some copy/paste in future tests.
The commit also fixes a typo and a missing --DOC_NO_DASH which breaks
rendering with one of the markdown implementation.
Once the signals get propagated, it means "manage" will call code before
the metatable is set. If this happens and it sets some properties, they
will perpetually bypass the `awful.client.object` handler.
Given there is some async wibox redraw operations, there is a tiny,
tiny chance the test suite callback will be executed before the
redraw. It has been seen on the CI, so it is not 100% impossible.
There is not much good reason why this should be required and making it
optional is almost trivial, as this patch shows.

This commit makes test-gravity.lua use the new infrastructure that was
added in the previous commit: Instead of pretending to be a steps-based
test, this is now a direct test. This gets rid of all the useless
wait_a_bit steps that exist purely to satisfy the steps-based test
runner.
This commit makes test-gravity.lua about one third shorter. Also, the
test might run a tiny bit faster, since there is no more timer that
regularly checks if the test is done, but instead it finishes
immediately when the external process finishes.

The current _runner.lua expects a table containing steps to be passed
in. However, not all tests look like this. This commits adds an API to
the runner that allows tests to run however they like. They just have to

This moves selection_acquire to selection.acquire, selection_getter to
selection.getter and selection_watcher to selection.watcher. The only

This is inspired to be a correctness fix: The "hints" argument to
notifications is supposed to have type a{sv}, i.e. this maps from string
keys to some generic value. dbus-send does not support this and instead
it sends an argument of type a{ss}, i.e. a mapping from string to
string. This commit fixes this problem and uses the correct type.

The first step of a test is called 20 times before a failure is
diagnosed. Later steps only get five calls to finish. I guess the idea
is that the first step sets everything up and opens all necessary
clients, while later steps then do something with these clients.
However, looking at our existing tests, they are not structured like
that. Later steps open more clients etc.
Since this limit has no negative impact on the run-time of tests, but
only means that failures are detected later, let's just remove this
limit of five calls.

When a string is spawned, the C code has to split this into an array for
the execve() syscall. When an array is given directly, this array does
not need to be transformed in any way. This makes it much more clear
what is actually started.
This commit removes some quotation marks that were previously removed by
the C code. For example,
array:string:1,"four",2,"five",3,"six"
became
array:string:1,four,2,five,3,six
because otherwise the action was called "four" instead of four and the
test failed.

This new test suit add a rather extensive coverage to the "legacy"
notification popups. A few minor bugs have been found and fixed
and we can rest assured that the new spec 1.2 support and extended
manipulation API wont regress existing configs.
This adds require("_date") to some example tests that use the current
date via os.date. This allows reproducibility by replacing os.date()
with a function that uses a static date from $SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH. See

* client2 have to take more time to `:kill()` than client3 take

* client4 have to start faster than client3
It is very unlikely to happen on normal systems, but on server it

* The scheduler assigned client2 on a very busy CPU and client 3
on a CPU still busy while some other CPUs are idle
* Linux is bad at scheduling hyper-threading
* The system is NUMA and the memory bandwidth is lacking on a core

In the earlier revision of the keygrabber PR, there was a `release_key`
and it was suggested to rename it `stop_key`. However its sibling
`release_event` wasn't, so it is now confusing.
The commit adds a mild deprecation codepath to avoid breaking configs
based on git-master. However it isn't a "long term" deprecation notice
and the code can probably be removed in 5.0 without further delay.

The awful.placement.no_offscreen function did not work properly when
composed with other placement functions; in particular, the default
configuration (awful.placement.no_overlap+awful.placement.no_offscreen)
was broken. The compose function sets args.pretend=true and puts the
result of the previous placement function into args.override_geometry
before calling the next placement function, but no_offscreen did not use
args.override_geometry, therefore the result of the previous placement
function was discarded.
All other placement functions use `geometry_common(c, args)` to get the
current client geometry; `area_common(c)` should be used only when
getting geometry of other clients.
This change also fixes the problem with margin handling (adding margins
should not affect the window size, only the window position should
change); the test output which was adjusted in commit 0275d3537d
is adjusted again to account for this change.

Commit fec8d6aa8f fixes awful.placement.no_offscreen to behave

client in this test.

STRICT_TESTS was introduced in commit c22b93963. Some people have setups
where e.g. fontconfig produces warnings. These warnings made the tests

these warnings are ignored by default, unless STRICT_TESTS is enabled.
Commit b5ca8bf937 broke this by making example test failures fatal
again.

tests are disabled. Thus, all failures from tests/examples/runner.sh get

Instead of running the example tests directly from CMake and checking
the results via CMake, the tests are now run through a shell script.
So far, there are too many variables involved for me to easily figure

out of CMake, bringing us a step closer to that goal.

This allows to figure out if a test will generate an image without

commit is a necessary step in that direction.
