bug: randr plugin (and anyrun as a whole) panics on Hyprland 0.40.0

[peppidesu]

Steps to reproduce:

• install and run Hyprland >0.40.0
• open anyrun

Expected behavior:

• anyrun opens without issues

Actual behavior:

• anyrun panics:

  thread '<unnamed>' panicked at 'A error occured while parsing the output from the hypr socket: IoError(Os { code: 2, kind: NotFound, message: "No such file or directory" })', /home/peppidesu/.cargo/registry/src/github.com-1ecc6299db9ec823/hyprland-0.3.9/src/data/regular.rs:31:19
  note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace
  thread '<unnamed>' panicked at 'called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: PoisonError { .. }', plugins/randr/src/lib.rs:106:1
  thread '<unnamed>' panicked at 'called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: Any { .. }', plugins/randr/src/lib.rs:37:1
  
  file:plugins/randr/src/lib.rs
  line:37
  Attempted to panic across the ffi boundary.
  Aborting to handle the panic...
  

Reason: Hyprland has moved the hyprland socket from /tmp/hypr to $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR in 0.40.0. This change has been merged into hyprland-rs:master and is included in version 0.4.0-alpha.1, but is not yet included in the latest stable release.

Solution: Either:

• wait for the next release of hyprland-rs, and change the package version in plugins/randr/Cargo.toml.
• temporarily use the alpha release of hyprland-rs

  hyprland = "0.4.0-alpha.1"

This didn't fix issues on current Arch, I wouldn't be too fast with this.

As a workaround you can symlink it to the expected location.

@Lord-Valen this would need to be done on every boot, though.

Yes. Better than not working at all!

hyprland-rs has not yet put out a stable release with the relevant changes. For people reading this right now, you can do one of the following:

• At startup, symlink $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/hypr to /tmp/hypr:

  ln -s $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/hypr /tmp/hypr
  

• (Arch): Modify the PKGBUILD
  1. remove the --frozen flag from cargo build on line 31
  2. add the following at the end of prepare():

  sed -i 's/hyprland = "0.3"/hyprland = "0.4.0-alpha.2"/g' plugins/randr/Cargo.toml
  

  then run makepkg -si as per usual.
