Troubleshooting

Here you will find help if something doesn't work, if the issue isn't listed here please open an issue on the GitHub repo.

My scss isn't being loaded!

  1. You have not created a scss file
  2. The scss file isn't called correctly. (it should be called eww.scss in the $HOME/.config/eww folder)
  3. The scss file isn't placed in the correct location (check above)

If none of these fixed your problem open an issue on the GitHub repo. Or check the GTK-Debugger.

Eww can't find my configuration file!

  1. It's incorrectly named or it's in the wrong place (it should be called eww.xml in the $HOME/.config/eww folder)
  2. You haven't started eww correctly or you started it wrong. (See Starting Eww)

Something isn't styled correctly!

  1. You have mistyped the CSS class.
  2. Check the GTK-Debugger

General issues

You should try the following things, before opening a issue or doing more specialized troubleshooting:

  • Kill the eww daemon by running eww kill and restart it with eww --debug daemon to get additional log output.
  • Now you can take a look at the logs by running eww logs.
  • use eww state, to see the state of all variables
  • use eww debug, to see the xml of your widget and other information
  • update to the latest eww version
  • sometimes hot reloading doesn't work. restart the widget in that case

If you're experiencing issues printing variables, try to print them in quotes, so e.g.

onchange="notify-send '{}'"

Remember, if your issue isn't listed here, open an issue on the GitHub repo.
