awesome-client dbus reply
Hi, I've been using awesome-client with success to execute some lua code through dbus, but I'm wondering how to obtain a reply from this code. If I have a function like this un my rc.lua file: dbus_test = function() -- do something... -- let's try to return a value return test end when I call it through dbus, I dont get any response. The code is executed, but the return statement is not handled properly, a dbus reply is not generated (awesome-client is calling dbus-send with the argument --print-reply): $ echo dbus_test() | awesome-client I would expect the following output: $ echo dbus_test() | awesome-client string test After digging in /usr/share/awesome/lib/awful/remote.lua, I can see how the call is made: dbus.add_signal(org.naquadah.awesome.awful.Remote, function(data, code) if data.member == Eval then local f, e = loadstring(code) if f then results = { f() }-- call is made here ... But the results table is always empty, and I don't understand why. If anyone have an idea or a proper example how to get a reply from a dbus call, I would appreciate.
