From f15811a737ee8d93f22ceff620df145c2d252b15 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Reto Brunner Date: Sun, 29 Sep 2019 12:08:59 +0200 Subject: Open mailto links in a new aerc instance if needed. Aerc tries to open mailto:// links via the socket of the already running aerc instance. If no socket exists this silently errored out. This commit starts up a new aerc instance if it can't connect to the socket (which I think is the most common error) and if not sets up a new aerc instance and retries to open the compositor. This fixes https://todo.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/aerc2/295 by implementing the desired behaviour. --- aerc.go | 19 +++++++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 17 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/aerc.go b/aerc.go index 1a32126..e8944d7 100644 --- a/aerc.go +++ b/aerc.go @@ -105,13 +105,26 @@ func main() { return } } + initDone := make(chan struct{}) args := os.Args[optind:] if len(args) > 1 { usage() return } else if len(args) == 1 { - lib.ConnectAndExec(args[0]) - return + arg := args[0] + err := lib.ConnectAndExec(arg) + if err == nil { + return // other aerc instance takes over + } + fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "Failed to communicate to aerc: %v", err) + // continue with setting up a new aerc instance and retry after init + go func(msg string) { + <-initDone + err := lib.ConnectAndExec(msg) + if err != nil { + fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "Failed to communicate to aerc: %v", err) + } + }(arg) } var ( @@ -163,6 +176,8 @@ func main() { as.OnMailto = aerc.Mailto } + close(initDone) + for !ui.ShouldExit() { for aerc.Tick() { // Continue updating our internal state -- cgit 1.4.1-2-gfad0
