Use bash function inside yad form.

[lid gnulinux]

I have this bash function and it's combined at yad's script.

#!/bin/bash

wstock () {
        wofi -Q $1 -l 1 -W 15% --line 8 -p "YWAL" --normal-window
}

yad --form --width=120 \
        --title="YWAL" \
        --align=left \
        --field=" All Apps  ":fbtn "kill-launch.sh wofi wofi 'wstock app''" \

        --no-buttons

(but) 'wstock app' is not recognized, How to call the bash function properly ? The only work way is make separated script.

hi

export a function to make it visible for subshells.
to do this just add "export -f wstock" after function definition

and pay attention that this is a bash specific feature

Hello, I change my script into this and then it doesn't work when I press button wofi won't launch.

The script :

#!/bin/bash

kila () {
        if pgrep -x "$1" > /dev/null; then
                killall $2
        else    
                wofi -Q $3 -l 1 -W 15% --line 8 -p "YWAL" --normal-window
        fi
}

export -f kila

#killlaunch wofi wofi app
yad --form --width=120 \
        --field=" All Apps  ":fbtn "kila wofi wofi 'app'" \
        --field=" Accesories":fbtn "kila wofi wofi tool" \
        --field=" Multimedia":fbtn "kila wofi wofi Audio" \
        --field=" Graphics  ":fbtn "kila wofi wofi Graphic" \
        --field=" Systems   ":fbtn "kila wofi wofi System" \
        --field=" Settings  ":fbtn "kila wofi wofi Setting" \
        --field=" Editor    ":fbtn "kila wofi wofi Text" \
        --field=" Internet  ":fbtn "kila wofi wofi Network" \
        --no-buttons

Thanks,

Thanks, Victor, I still don't get / catch what the " --use-interp" will do on my script, I'll dig it deeper.

[lid gnulinux]

I make it working with this tutorial : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49738161/can-a-yad-button-invoke-a-function-within-a-script

--use-interp says yad to launch all commands through "bash -c".
so using this parameter is more accurate than adding bash -c to all of
your callbacks.
especially if you use functions from your script as a handlers
