Eww needs and doesn't want a ) at the same time.

When trying to open my bar, I get this error:

error: Input ended unexpectedly. Check if you have any unclosed delimiters
   ┌─ /home/maksz/.config/eww/eww.yuck:25:18
   │
25 │            (home)
   │                  ─

, but when I add a ), I get this error:

error: Did not expect any further elements here. Make sure your format is correct
   ┌─ /home/maksz/.config/eww/eww.yuck:25:12
   │
25 │            (home))
   │            ───────

What should I do?

My code is

(defpoll time :interval "1s"
              :initial "initial-value"  ; optional, defaults to poll at startup
              :run-while time-visible   ; optional, defaults to 'true'
  `date +%H:%M:%S`)

(defwidget clock [?time]
  (box :orientation "horizontal" :halign "end" time))

(defwidget home []
  (box :orientation "horizontal" :halign "end" "Home"
    (button :onclick "dolphin /home/maksz" "Home")))

(defwindow bar
           :monitor 0
           :geometry (geometry :x "0%"
                               :y "20px"
                               :width "90%"
                               :height "30px"
                               :anchor "top center")
           :stacking "fg"
           :reserve (struts :distance "40px" :side "top")
           :windowtype "dock"
           :wm-ignore false
           (clock :time time)
           (home)

if that helps.

That would be because a window can have one and only child and you provided two: (clock :time time) and (home). Wrap them in a box if you want it this way and the problem should be gone. Hope it helped!

[Chlebqowy]

Is there a way to have one box fully on one side and another fully on the other one with both being in the same box?

[ovalkonia]

I'm not really sure what you mean by that. Could you provide more details?

[ovalkonia]

Probably, what you are looking for is the :halign property, every widget has it, including box. You can do :halign "start" for one and :halign "end" for the other. Take a look at the docs here -> https://elkowar.github.io/eww/widgets.html for more information.
