I have some trouble with dbus-send
when using a{sv}
Calling a method with in_signature='a{ss}'
seems to work using the
following command line:
dbus-send --dest="org.test.TestService"
/org/test/TestService/object org.test.TestService.method1 dict:string:string:"a","1","b","2"
Now I would like to have a dictionary with a variant type for values
(in_signature=a{sv}
),
How can I use it in dbus-send
?
A method on DBus can send or receive a Variant. This will wrap another value whose type is determined at runtime. The Variant may be parameterized to restrict the types it may accept. Constructor Summary.
The dbus-send command is used to send a message to a D-Bus message bus. See http://www.freedesktop.org/software/dbus/ for more information about the big picture.
dbus-send
As mentioned, dbus-send
does not support all Dbus types. From dbus-send man page:
Also, dbus-send does not permit empty containers or nested containers (e.g. arrays of variants).
gdbus
Buried in https://www.freedesktop.org/software/gstreamer-sdk/data/docs/2012.5/gio/gdbus.html we see this:
gdbus call --session \
--dest org.freedesktop.Notifications \
--object-path /org/freedesktop/Notifications \
--method org.freedesktop.Notifications.Notify \
my_app_name \
42 \
gtk-dialog-info \
"The Summary" \
"Here's the body of the notification" \
[] \
{} \
5000
Bonus: this method returns the id, so you can close or replace the notification.
