Yad --html stop working

[Tider]

After upgrading Yad 0.39 to Yad 0.40, the --html option stop working.

Here is my code example:

yad --html --browser --uri="http://wttr.in/$location" : returns empty dialog.

How can i fix that?

Any help will be appreciated.

Have you tried one of the many later versions? I think the latest version is 12.3 or something like that.

I'm using the only available version from official Ubuntu repository (yad 0.40.0). I just compiled the 12.3 from Github and --html still not working.

[Johnny Rosenberg]

I have never used that feature myself, but does this link give some kind of clue?

All works fine for me. Did you build yad with webkit support?
And is there any kind of messages in terminal?

@Victor, yes i installed build-essential libgtk-3-dev as recommended then configure make make install.. yad package successfully installed, all options works fine except --html.

[Tider]

@Victor, there is one message when launch code in terminal; (yad:5372): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:225:32: The :insensitive pseudo-class is deprecated. Use :disabled instead.

[Victor Ananjevsky]

is the string "Build with Webkit" presents in yad --about ?

[Tider]

No !

[Victor Ananjevsky]

if so, please install webkit2-dev package and rebuild yad

Obtain Source Code 

You should only obtain the YAD Source code from its Author's official Repsitory which resides on Github.  https://github.com/v1cont/yad/releaseshttps://github.com/v1cont/yad/releases

If your are new to Linux, I suggest that you download the Yad*.zip file.

 

Decompress Source Code -

Decompress Source code to a folder on the computer for which you will be compiling and installing YAD. 

Terminal Method - (Commands are after -> arrow)

1. Open terminal (From Desktop you can use ctrl+t)

2. Decompress Yad Source code: 

"Change to directory that contains the yad*.zip file", for example: -> cd Downloads (on my pc for example its -> cd /home/linux/Downloads)

"unzip the yad*.zip file" -> unzip ./yad*.zip

3. Install Compile Specific Dependices:

-> sudo apt-get update

->  sudo apt-get upgrade

-> sudo apt-get install automake build-essential intltool

Also, verify you have these plugins, at very least gstreamer1.0-plugins-good & gstreamer1.0-libav

 

Versions of packages libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37:amd64 recommends: gstreamer1.0-alsa 1.16.2-4 gstreamer1.0-libav 1.16.2-2 (this lib fixes "No Video" issue with ffmpeg & mpv) gstreamer1.0-plugins-good 1.16.2-3 gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio 1.16.2-3 libgl1-mesa-dri 20.1.1-1

4. Install YAD Specific Dependies: (for "--html --browser" functionality)

-> sudo apt-get install libwebkit2gtk-4.0 libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev

---------------------------

(Updated: 9-18-22: If you are going to compile yad with text-info box script hightlighting option, --sourceview | then install these:)

-> sudo apt-get install libgtksourceview-3.0-1 libgtksourceview-3.0-common libgtksourceview-3.0-dev

----------------------------

 5. Compile YAD (sudo -s is root access !!!! BE VERY CAREFUL !!!)

Word of Caution: sudo -s may not be necessary unless you are re-installing yad as it needs to over-write root owned files

 

-> cd yad-12.0 (or whatever yad* folder was created by unzipping. On my pc its: -> cd /home/linux/Downloads/yad-12.0 )

-> sudo -s- 

-> autoreconf -ivf && intltoolize

-> ./configure --enable-html --enable-sourceview

-> make

 

6. Install YAD

-> make install

-> exit

 You must manually run gtk-update-icon-cache after yad installation.

 

-> gtk-update-icon-cache

DONE !  - Test yad.  in terminal type ->  yad
