Some Custom Modules Only Show if Waybar Started from Terminal

[trashcatt]

I have some custom modules that won't show up if Waybar is started by hyprland or rofi. If I start waybar from a terminal window they show up fine.

Here is the code snippet

{
  "layer": "top",
  "position": "top",
  "margin-top": 5,
  "margin-left": 3,
  "margin-right": 3,
  "reload_style_on_change": true,
  "modules-left": [
    "clock", 
    "hyprland/workspaces",
    "custom/tasks"
  ],
  "modules-center": [

  ],
  "modules-right": [
    "mpd",
    "custom/weather", 
    "custom/updates",  
    "custom/wireguard-manager",
    "group/tray", 
    "custom/notification"
  ],

  "group/tray":{
    "orientation": "inherit",
    "drawer": {
      "transition-duration": 500,
      "child-class": "not-power",
      "transition-left-to-right": false,
      "click-to-reveal": false
    },
    "modules": [
      "custom/tab",
      "custom/gammastep",
      "pulseaudio",
      "tray"
    ]
    
  },
"custom/tasks": {
  "format": " {text}",
  "exec": "polybar-vikunja --get-todo-count",
  "on-click": "polybar-vikunja --show-todos-popup",
  "on-click-right": "polybar-vikunja --config-popup",
},

The tasks module only shows up when run from the terminal.
This screenshot shows launched with hyprland top and Alacritty bottom.

Same for me ... no clue so far !!

I found my problem. I seems that the PATH is different when you launch waybar from uwsm. I had the PATH to my script in .config/uwsm/env and voilà it works without issue.

That makes a lot of sense. Thank you for the update. I'll try it when I get home.

Yep, that was the problem. Added the path to my uwsm/env and everything is working as expected. Closing
