Failing to start - List index out of range about i3-layouts HOT 3 CLOSED

Hey @chulme,

Thanks for trying i3-layouts.
It seems their is a problem preventing i3-layouts to starts the first time with your configuration. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to reproduce this behavior yet. Can you tell me which version of i3 (i3 --version) and i3-layouts (pip show i3-layouts) you're using ?

Since it works the second time, when you restart i3, an exec command in your configuration may trigger this problem. Do you have some exec commands launching or moving containers when i3 starts ?

Also, can you launch i3-layouts with --debug and report the logs here ?

exec_always i3-layouts --debug > ~/i3-layouts.log 2>&1

from i3-layouts.

I have i3 version 4.19.1 and i3-layouts version 0.13.1.

I took a look into my execs and found the following line was causing it to fail:
exec --no-startup-id xrandr --output DP-2 --mode 5120x1440 --rate 120

I need this to set the resolution of my monitor, as otherwise it defaults to 3840x1080.

I've attached i3-layouts.log.

Hey @chulme,

I've been able to reproduce with the xrandr command and the 3columns layout.
In this case, i3-layout receive a new window event with a container id but no container exists on the workspace (probably due to the xrandr command).
I've released a new version 0.13.2 which should fix this problem.
Thanks for reporting this issue.
