Inconsistent parsing of arguments with swaynag utility in swaynag_command config

[GrabbenD]

• Sway Version: 1.9

• Distro: Arch Linux

• Configuration File: ~/.config/sway/config

  swaynag successfully spawns a warning bar at the bottom of my screen (as configured) when issuing reload bindsym with syntax errors in Sway's main config file.

  # WORKING EXAMPLE
  swaynag_command swaynag --type='warning' --layer='overlay' --edge='bottom' --button-dismiss='test'

  

  However, if --button-dismiss argument is absent, the bar type is wrongfully error instead of warning

  # REPRODUCIBLE PROBLEM
  swaynag_command swaynag --type='warning' --layer='overlay' --edge='bottom'

  

• Description:

  • swaynag_command swaynag does not appear to parse arguments correctly
  • Possibly related issue: --layer='overlay' has no effect
