Plugin page https://getbitbar.com/plugins/Lifestyle/deathTimer.5m.py says "WARNING: Not executable". It's better if script are executable by default.

It would be awesome if you could view a list of code reviews that have been assigned to you.

Sometimes I get this weird error (attached). Seems random.

Categories like "Ethereum" and "PagerDuty" should go inside a high-level category.

We need to select between these two excellent Pomodoro plugins:

• #177
• #178

We only want one in the repo - but which one? We'll let the community decide.

El Capitan now supports IKEv2 VPN, and with it a new interface. On line 12, instead of using ifconfig | grep tun0 it should now use ifconfig | egrep '(utun0)|(ipsec0)' or ifconfig | grep 'utun0\|ipsec0' so it can accurately detect both types of VPN connections.

This will also need to be changed for line 14 at ifconfig utun0 2> /dev/null | grep inet | cut -d' ' -f 2 but I couldn't quite figure out how to do that.

I have tried a custom plugin as well as one of the weather plugins. Both produce this error, the application was recently installed for the first time. If I go to "Run in Terminal..." the plugin works as expected and prints to standard out.

Multi-user logins cause permission denied error. The path cannot be written by a different user than the plugin is installed.

I worked around it by including $USER environment variable as part of the tmp_dir variable:

Its not working when listen to Apple Music. I did some research and find it difficult to do that so can we just hide the widget when listen to Apple Music ?

It is better to update every days or every hours. fixer.io updated daily around 3PM CET.
It not need to update every minutes.

Just sitting on the left side of my BitBar are a group of icons moving back and forts. For example, sitting just on the left side of BitBar-related simple weather script are my f.lux icon. The latter moves half a quater inch towards the left, then revert back to its original position. It does this indefinitely. It happens for any script.

@seripap

Thanks for the Weather plugin - I love it even though I only used it for a few days now.
Today, however, for the first time I only see the "Could not get weather" response.

Turns out I had over 2646 API calls yesterday and already 1217 today. I have no idea how this is possible, since the plugin should only update ever 15min, but let me know how many API calls you expect per day. I expected under 100 per day, but maybe I didn't read the code right.

Could there be something forcing the plugin to keep calling the forecast.io API (let's say my connection drops out or whatever). Or should I expect someone else using my API token (I didn't publish it anywhere and am only using it for this one purpose).

If you have any thought, please let me know!

Image isn't working on https://getbitbar.com/plugins/Lifestyle/deathTimer.5m.py

I would love to get into bitbar! Use it as a replacement for istatmenus. Hoever it is not yet on par with it. For example the cpu meter should be a detailed mini graph with more information when hovering over it as seen in the screenshot. Download upload rates should be able to be displayed as in the screen shot double lines etc. Is this doable atm with bitbar?

copy of matryer/xbar#264

FAO: (@estiens) getting a LoadError on xmlsimple

Self-explanatory - support for jenkins, travis, etc. already exists. Would love something similar for buildbot.

FAO: (@dkhamsing)

Please make this plugin executable :)

I see lots of scripts with 'YOUR KEY HERE' variables towards the top. It would be awesome if bitbar allowed a user to enter their configuration through the application UI rather than by modifying a script. This feature would lower the barrier to entry for non-developer types.

FAO: (@nadavc)

Would be awesome to get an image in the metadata (and to make the plugin executable).

I catch this error after plugin installation (and chmod +x ~/bitbar-plugins/circleci-check.5m.py run):

ImportError: No module named requests

I have requests module installed via pip :

$ pip list

...
requests (2.9.1)

Any idea to solve it?

EDIT: initial issue is fixed. It was a mess with multiple python version on my mac. Ans with the linked PR, I just fix the missing no_tests index.

Using the SSH plug-in (https://getbitbar.com/plugins/Network/ssh.sh ) would it be possible to open sessions in iTerm2, rather than the default Mac terminal?

Here is rudimentary plugin to manage plugins... except I can't figure out syntax around | bash= in the plugin API. My shell-foo is rough, so who knows what I am doing wrong.

#!/bin/bash

echo 'Plugins'
echo '---'
dirname=${0%/*}  # use this to get the directory
echo "Root directory: $dirname | color=white refresh=true"
echo "Inactive directory: ${dirname}/inactive | color=white"
echo "=========================== "

filesActive=($(ls $dirname))
filesInactive=($(ls "${dirname}/inactive"))

echo "Click on item in list to move to inactive | color=blue"

for var in "${filesActive[@]}"
do
  # this kinda works, but 1) opens terminal and 2) doesn't refresh the plug with new info
  # when I add in refresh=true terminal=false, no go...
  echo "${var} | color=red bash='mv "${dirname}/${var}" "${dirname}/inactive/${var}"'"
done

echo "Click on item in list to move to active | color=blue"

for var in "${filesInactive[@]}"
do
  echo "${var} | color=red bash='mv "${dirname}/inactive/${var}" "${dirname}/${var}"'" 
done

Getting this line echo "${var} | color=red bash='mv "${dirname}/${var}" "${dirname}/inactive/${var}"'" correct is the key. I tried every combination of " and ' and order of refresh=true and terminal=false, to no avail. Anyone see how to make it work?

Could use https://github.com/argon/mas as a starting point.

I found 2 issues with your Location plugin for bitbar

1. sometimes It does not update the display when I change the location using the top-left APPLE menu/Location
2. I have a location whose name is rather long "TM Innovation Centre". It appears in the dropdown menu as 3 separate lines, each of which ic clickable. That sounds/looks wrong...

cheers

Let's think about a plugin, that tracks the price of a product on Amazon. The user should be allowed to pass the link to the program, so it can scrape the site and show the price in BitBar. Or we want to create a plugin, that shows whether an update is available in your favorite RSS feeds.

For these purposes, it would be nice to have the possibility to pass arguments to your program without changing its code.

I like the situation where a menu would go away when a script no longer produces an output. For example, one of the scripts I use—because of the BitBar limitation—must be written as follows:

#!/usr/local/bin/zsh
  if  [[ -z `ifconfig | grep tun0` ]]
    then
    echo "🔓 VPN"
  else
    echo -e "\b"
  fi

The problem is that it returns a blank space in the menu bar when things are all right. Instead of this, I would like no space at all and hence, no menu at all.

Unfortunately, the script can't be written as…

  if  [[ -z `ifconfig | grep tun0` ]]
    then
    echo "🔓 VPN"
  fi

The above script returns nothing under normal conditions. The issue then is that it makes non-BitBar menu icons sitting on its left moving back and forth continuously. Simply, because no output is returned.

As a result, it would be nice to have the related BitBar menu item gone when a plugin output nothing.

From https://developer.forecast.io:

Credit us with a “Powered by Forecast” badge that links to http://forecast.io/ wherever you display data from the API.w

The plugin looks for AppleBluetoothHIDKeyboard but nothing by that name or class exists in the ioreg on my El Capitan.

Guys,

I put together a very simple BitBar plugin browser: http://getbitbar.appspot.com (will be moved to getbitbar.com when it's ready). Real examples in the Tutorial section: http://getbitbar.appspot.com/plugins/Tutorial (and the source https://github.com/matryer/bitbar-plugins/blob/master/Tutorial/cycle_text_and_detail.sh)

By including metadata like the below in the plugin source file, authors can customise the browser:

# <bitbar.title>Cycle text and detail text</bitbar.title>
# <bitbar.version>1.0</bitbar.version>
# <bitbar.author>Mat Ryer</bitbar.author>
# <bitbar.author.github>matryer</bitbar.author.github>
# <bitbar.desc>Text above --- will be cycled through in the menu bar, whereas text underneath will be visible only when you open the menu.</bitbar.desc>
# <bitbar.image>http://www.images.com/path/to/image</bitbar.image>

It matches using regex, so tags may appear anywhere in the file (commented out however is suitable):

`<bitbar\.` + tag + `>(.*?)</bitbar\.` + tag + `>`

Would love some feedback, comments, bug reports, etc. over at https://github.com/matryer/getbitbar.com

Encountered this one while not connected to the internet. Looks like it'd be easy to catch a URLError and handle it gracefully.

Heya! On line 10 we have MAX_PING=10000 but then on on line 54 we have if [ $AVG -ge 1000 ]; then. I'm on a flight now were my avg ping time is >1000 but I still want to know what it is instead of just knowing "OMG IT IS SO SLOW".

I suggest changing line 54 to if [ $AVG -ge $MAX_PING ]; then so folks like me can easily set a higher max ping so we can see it in the menu.

If you're open to a pull request, I'd be happy to do the "heavy" lifting of the one line change ;)

Proposals for Ejector script (ejector.5s.sh by carlsonorozco).

(1) If the volumes are mounted DMGs, you could add another menu item: "Eject all DMGs"
(would leave physical volumes mounted)

(2) Vice versa a menu item: "Eject all physical volumes"
(would leave DMGs mounted)

and maybe

(3) "Eject all physical volumes except Time Machine"
(would leave DMGs and Time Machine volume mounted)
That would be something I'd like. ;)

(4) In addition there's an app called CleanMyDrive by MacPaw, which also has a junk cleaner for .DS_Store, .Spotlight-V100, .TemporaryItems, .fseventsd (OS X) plus Thumbs.db, RECYCLED, RECYCLER, $RECYCLE.BIN (Windows) plus resource forks, i.e. ._filename.extension

That could be added too for all writable volumes except the boot volume.

Hi @matryer ,

I'm thinking to create an plugin to get the USD <-> BRL. But I want to do that in Rust. Then I will generate an compiled executable.

Can I make an pull request here with executable (not script) plugin?

Hello,

Great plugin. When you first run it, and haven't set the token yet, you get a pretty ugly view. It would be great if it could display some nice text (like "Edit plugin to set your access token")

It would be great to have a central place where we can store the plugin configuration instead of editing the plugin file itself.

For example in the jenkins-multiple-projects-status plugin, I need to change the USER, PASSWORD, etc... configs. This may lead to users wanting to make commits to a plugin to publish their configuration by mistake.

Instead we could introduce a config folder that is added to .gitignore where users will need to put their plugin configuration file.

This change would be non-breaking as old plugins would just keep the config in their plugin file while new plugins could benefit of the external config.

This might be a dumb question, but, is there any way we can ensure that these scripts we're simply chmod +xing on our machines are not malicious? I'm not necessarily questioning the integrity of the community, but I am curious if this has been thought about...
