CONFIG_ZMK_WIDGET_LAYER_STATUS not working

[quiquos]

A few days ago, CONFIG_ZMK_WIDGET_LAYER_STATUS stopped showing the layer we are in.

this is my conf file:

CONFIG_ZMK_KEYBOARD_NAME="Quiquos Corne"
CONFIG_ZMK_DISPLAY=y
CONFIG_ZMK_WIDGET_LAYER_STATUS=y
CONFIG_ZMK_WIDGET_BATTERY_STATUS=y
CONFIG_ZMK_WIDGET_BATTERY_STATUS_SHOW_PERCENTAGE=y
CONFIG_ZMK_WIDGET_OUTPUT_STATUS=y
CONFIG_ZMK_WIDGET_WPM_STATUS=y
CONFIG_ZMK_SLEEP=y
CONFIG_ZMK_IDLE_SLEEP_TIMEOUT=900000
CONFIG_BT_CTLR_TX_PWR_PLUS_8=y
CONFIG_ZMK_PM_SOFT_OFF=y

If I flash a version from, for example, a month ago, it works great.
The same code compiled last week won't show the layer number we are in.

I tried something I read that CONFIG_ZMK_WIDGET... are no longer needed to put in conf file, but even so, it doesn't work.

My keyboard is the Split Corne wireless connected via BT (also with cable, layer is not displayed)

Does it work if you add display-name properties to the layer nodes? e.g. display-name = "Base";

I think this change now causes it to use empty string rather than layer index when it isn't assigned: c8c1959#diff-d159782fc3c35e2f081cc4383f5b9d2dd4daae5aa656f18a4ed09a430477916aR67

ok, can you tell me where I define that display name?
this is my keymap file

my layers are
layer0
layer1
layer2
...

is this the display name?

[caksoylar]

No, it is an additional property that goes in the node like I mentioned above. See examples in

zmk/app/boards/shields/reviung34/reviung34.keymap

Line 28 in 1c48f64

display-name = "Base";

[quiquos]

Nice, it worked.

Actually, it's even better, because I thought that I could only display a number as a layer "name" to be displayed, and now I have the name I want.

Thanks

[Grazfather]

I added this to the docs in #2460

[petejohanson]

Flease give #2491 a test.

[caksoylar]

Closing given #2491 is merged, please re-open if still an issue.
