I have been trying to add toast notifications to an application I'm developing. Using the example in the readme the following notification is produced:

Notification

Action Centre

As you can see, there is no image and no action buttons. I am not sure if this is down to a setting on my machine or not. However, the code I am using is a copy/paste of the example, using the gopher image as "go.png".

I'm running Go 1.7 on Windows 64-bit.

Thanks.

Notification not showing up

`
package main

import (
"log"
toast "gopkg.in/toast.v1"
)

func main() {
notification := toast.Notification{
AppID: "Example AppID",
Title: "My notification",
Message: "Some message about how important something is...",
Icon: "C:\Users\noti\icon.png", // This file must exist (remove this line if it doesn't)
Actions: []toast.Action{
{"protocol", "I'm a button", ""},
{"protocol", "Me too!", ""},
},
}
err := notification.Push()
if err != nil {
log.Fatalln(err)
}
}
`

Is there any way to fetch the button action?

Within c# its called the OnActivated option.

Hello,
I would like to configure periodic toast message. How can I configure it in Windows 10?
Thanks

I believe this can be solved with some clever string escaping, but I am not too familiar with PowerShell.

After the code runs, the notification pop-up window appears very slowly, and it takes a few seconds.

• Example

func main() {
	start := time.Now()
	fmt.Println("start")
	msg := "测试通知内容"
	notification := toast.Notification{
		AppID:   "test",
		Title:   "测试通知标题",
		Message: msg,
	}
	err := notification.Push()
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	end := time.Now()
	fmt.Println("end")
	fmt.Printf("use time: %v", end.Sub(start))
}

• Output

start
end
use time: 3.8882003s

The ToastNotifier supports hiding/closing a notification.

This could be added to the API to enable apps to close their notifications automatically when eg the tab in the graphical app causing the notification is opened by the user.

There are no errors or crashes but the notification does not get pushed.

Lines 15 and 16 need modifying in order to build.

Using go 1.6.3 and:

        Actions: []toast.Action{
            {"protocol", "I'm a button"},
            {"protocol", "Me too!"},
        },

I get:

.\main.go:15: too few values in struct initializer
.\main.go:16: too few values in struct initializer

Adding in the Arguments string worked:

        Actions: []toast.Action{
            {"protocol", "I'm a button", ""},
            {"protocol", "Me too!", ""},
        },

Hi, when i try to print the next text like a messege the notification just show some text
"$22.35"

And the notification print just
".35"

I cound fix the issue putting an spase between the dollar sing and the number
"$ 22.35" //This print all the text.

any ideas ?
I can build windows stuff from OSX and linux using the fabulous mingw64.

apple$ go get gopkg.in/toast.v1
# gopkg.in/toast.v1
../../../../../../../../../gopkg.in/toast.v1/toast.go:352:41: unknown field 'HideWindow' in struct literal of type syscall.SysProcAttr

Here is my make file that is using the toast lib.

gen2brain/beeep#19

Would really appreciate help.

For example this works:

.\toast64.exe --app-id "{D65231B0-B2F1-4857-A4CE-A8E7C6EA7D27}\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" --title Test --message Test --activation-arg "https://www.google.com/search?q=dogs"

while this does not (no notifications will be posted):

.\toast64.exe --app-id "{D65231B0-B2F1-4857-A4CE-A8E7C6EA7D27}\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" --title Test --message Test --activation-arg "https://www.google.com/search?q=dogs&start=10"

Is this more windows being dumb or might this actually be a bug here?

P.s. same behavior for when using --action ... --action-arg ....

If you need more input, just let me know :)

The main example code

func main() {
    notification := toast.Notification{
        AppID: "Example App",
        Title: "My notification",
        Message: "Some message about how important something is...",
        Icon: "go.png",
        Actions: []toast.Action{
            {"protocol", "I'm a button", ""},
            {"protocol", "Me too!", ""},
        },
    }
    err := notification.Push()
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatalln(err)
    }
}

works very different from the example screenshots. Tested with both Win10x64 and Win10x32.
Only the "Example App" is shown, and a kind of "you have a new notification" message.

Title, Message and Buttons are missing.

Golang doesn't support bom in utf8.
But it is much needed most of the time when reading files for Windows.
When the powershell script launches the toast, special characters (eg: é) would appear like this: É.

We need to add the bom to the temporary powershell script for the content to be properly displayed in the toast notification.

like so:

toast.go

func invokeTemporaryScript(content string) error {
id, _ := uuid.NewV4()
file := filepath.Join(os.TempDir(), id.String()+".ps1")
defer os.Remove(file)

bom := []byte{0xef, 0xbb, 0xbf}
final := append(bom, content...)
err := ioutil.WriteFile(file, final, 0600)
if err != nil {
	return err
}

[...]

}

Toast notifications support a priority parameter: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/api/windows.ui.notifications.toastnotification.priority?view=winrt-22621

This can be used to eg wake the screen on important notifications.

I read somewhere that by default toast notifications will stay in action center for 7 days, but this can be customized (I think here)
Is it possible to do this with your package?

Any chance this might be enhanced to work on Windows 7?

Can this ever work on windows 8.1?

What should I do if I want to copy the content of the notification after clicking the button?

Thanks❤

Imported "gopkg.in/toast.v1"

Maybe i'm using it wrong, but when the powershell script gets executed i can see for a fraction of a second the powershell console window ("Flashing like popup") before the toast notification. Is this an expected behaviour ?

I modified toast.go to get rid of it. I'm sharing just in case.

toast.go

import ( "syscall" )

func invokeTemporaryScript(content string) error {
id, _ := uuid.NewV4()
file := filepath.Join(os.TempDir(), id.String()+".ps1")
defer os.Remove(file)
err := ioutil.WriteFile(file, []byte(content), 0600)
if err != nil {
return err
}
cmd := exec.Command("PowerShell", "-ExecutionPolicy", "Bypass", "-File", file)
cmd.SysProcAttr = &syscall.SysProcAttr{HideWindow: true}
if err = cmd.Run(); err != nil {
return err
}
return nil
}

I'd love it if I could just use an image URL instead of having to manually download the image.

I tested the code and the case one by one, and got this result:

func main (){
  notification := toast.Notification{
    Title: "1_Title", 
    // 2_Title
    // 3_Title
    // 4_Title
    // 5_标题 
    Message: "msg test",
    // msg 测试
    // msg テスト
    // 测试
    // msg test
  }
  notification.Push()
}

Notifications 2,4,5 got garbled, and Notification 3 is not be notified.
Message 2,4 have Chinese characters. Message 3 has Japanese characters.
Title 5 have Chinese characters.

The version of Windows 10 is 18362.239.

What should I do? pls

Hi,
I am using your library like this:

import "github.com/go-toast/toast" // also tried "gopkg.in/toast.v1"

// ...

notification := toast.Notification{
	AppID:   "...",
	Title:   "...",
	Message: "...",
	Audio:   toast.Default,
}
err := notification.Push()
checkErr(err)

The notification is not shown, no sound is played and no error is returned from notification.Push().
System Info: Windows 10 (Version 1709, Build 16288.1)

I've had a glance at your code real quick, but could not see the bug myself.
