Error in brightness-widget

[NicolasWebDev]

Using the default rc.lua, putting the widget in the wibar using require("awesome-wm-widgets.brightness-widget.brightness")(),, without any parameters, gives the following errors:

I haven't been able to debug it further, could it be a problem with timers?

The widget still seems to be working. I'm on commit 3bb3d56c26ac3500aab33381af0cccebf6aaa05c.

Replacing the two function definitions of set_value with update_value seem to make the problem go away, and everything still works. I don't quite understand what is going on, though, because my lua knowledge is nonexistent.

Specifically changing

set_value = function(self, level)
    self:set_value(level)
end,

to

update_value = function(self, level)
    self:set_value(level)
end,

and

widget:set_value(brightness_level)

to

widget:update_value(brightness_level)
