'InputDevice' object has no attribute 'input_props'

[basta]

This error occurs in systemctl status input-remapper when trying to inject a preset.

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/lib64/python3.10/multiprocessing/process.py", line 315, in _bootstrap
     self.run()
   File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/inputremapper/injection/injector.py", line 341, in run
     input_props=source.input_props(),
 AttributeError: 'InputDevice' object has no attribute 'input_props'

The app itself hangs on Starting injection...
Using Fedora 35, python 3.10, input-remapper version 1.4.1.

Not sure what additional debug info is needed, will update if necessary

As a shot in the dark I just tried removing the offending argument input_props=source.input_props() and injections started to work.

Thanks for reporting, I'll add some extra checks to avoid the issue

There was one more problem with this, fix is on main

What is you python-evdev version? See input-remapper-control --version

I have mistaken the input-remapper version for the pyhton-evdev version when quickly reading over your issue. You should upgrade python-evdev instead, it's probably a few years old.

I'll revert my changes and add a log to the console

It's 1.1.2. Full log:

input-remapper 1.4.1 0cac61149c298541a3860521436954ee8747027f https://github.com/sezanzeb/input-remapper
python-evdev 1.1.2

[sezanzeb]

yeah, please upgrade your python-evdev version instead

[basta]

Sorry about that.
But it should be the latest version in fedora's package manager.
Maybe a warning in the installation instructions is in order? Not sure if this issue is on my end

[sezanzeb]

something about it is in the making: #346

fedoras package manager seems to be very outdated in this regards.

Try sudo pip install evdev

[basta]

That didn't help. The requirement was already satisfied by version 1.1.0.

But pip install evdev==1.4.0 (last version) did. I don't understand pip packages enough to debug this. Maybe it didn't update the version because of some dependency from other package?

[basta]

Upon deleting and reinstalling evdev using pip install evdev the latest version was installed correctly, so I think the issue was on my end. As a feature suggestion maybe some warnings in the console would help prevent this?

You've made an awesome piece of software, thanks for your time.
