Hello,

you should not use this library but switch to zbus system instead, which uses proper built in API

I'll continue merging any proposal to this library, until this is marked as archived.
But I don't have time to fix proposals (focused on other topics), any proposal must pass CI directly

[joe-saronic]

@gwbres Understood. We are using it on a work project, at least until we switch to zbus or dbus. I'll fix the CI issues shortly. Aside from a cursory review of the concept, my intention was certainly not to make you fix my coding errors.

[gwbres]

No worries, I'm not saying that is what you implied ;) just letting you know.
Please drop a message when you think you have completed your task

Oddly enough, I have two tests failing with PermissionDenied errors that I can't reproduce locally. Do you have any ideas why that might be happening?

[joe-saronic]

@gwbres I finally figured out why the two tests are failing. They require root access. Is there some way to bypass that?

[joe-saronic]

Bump

[gwbres]

don't have time to spend on this, as previously stated.
"Testing strategy" is obviously terribly wrong, and I will not investigate.
Either fix it and like I said, I'm always happy to merge proposals, or move on to another topic

I found solution. There was some issues with service names and default available services in test image, root access is not necessary.
Created PR for fix ( #40 ) and hope or both PR ( this one and #39 ) will be unblocked

[joe-saronic]

I rebased on the recently merged fix. This should be OK now.

[gwbres]

If you need new versions, feel free to push the version bumps, I'll just release them

[joe-saronic]

Will do. A version tag will be helpful here.

[joe-saronic]

I modeled #41 after v0.2.0

[gwbres]

great, like I said if everything passes I have zero issue merging any proposal

it's just I don't have time to dedicate to this topic anymore. And like I said, this tool should not be used and correct solutions (using dbus) should be prefered. Maybe at some point this will be archived or I'll pass on the maintenance. Until then, I don't mind merging and releasing

[joe-saronic]

Much appreciated. I understand the deficiencies in this tool, but we've got it meeting requirements in enough places that it's worth keeping around for a bit longer. Thanks for seeing this through.
