Unable to use solaar cli commands when the device is connected through bluetooth
Created by: IgorSamurovic
I want to use solaar cli to change host to another machine, like so:
solaar config "MX Keys Mini" change-host 3
solaar config "MX Anywhere" change-host 3However, this only works if those devices are connected through the dongle. If they are connected through bluetooth, I am unable to do this and am getting this error:
igor@igor-pc:~/Documents/Scripts$ solaar config "MX Anywhere 3" change-host 3
solaar: error: Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/solaar/lib/solaar/cli/__init__.py", line 204, in run
m.run(c, args, _find_receiver, _find_device)
File "/usr/share/solaar/lib/solaar/cli/config.py", line 124, in run
raise Exception("no online device found matching '%s'" % device_name)
Exception: no online device found matching 'mx anywhere 3'I tried using other identifiers (like serial number) to make this work, to no avail. Even if the device shows up through solaar show, attempts to run commands fail.
When I use this same functionality through the UI, the host is changed perfectly in 100% of cases, whether the device is connected through usb dongle or bluetooth. Also, worth noting, this happens both with the unifying receiver and bolt, so it does not seem to be receiver-specific. I suspect (as per error) that this would work through CLI, if the CLI utility "knew" about those devices, but it looks like it is unable to find them while the UI application can. I have not gone into code to see how they differ, so I might be shooting in the dark here.

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get'I should mention that the keyboard's host is now changed! However now running two quick commands in a succession doesn't work, so it only moves the keyboard and not the mouse, will be doing some research on that once I have some time.
