Window does not pop up and the app hangs

[yhs0602]

from rumps import *

@clicked('Testing')
def tester(sender):
    sender.state = not sender.state

class SomeApp(rumps.App):
    def __init__(self):
        super(SomeApp, self).__init__(type(self).__name__, menu=['On', 'Testing'])
        rumps.debug_mode(True)

    @clicked('On')
    def button(self, sender):
        sender.title = 'Off' if sender.title == 'On' else 'On'
        Window("I can't think of a good example app...").run()

if __name__ == "__main__":
    SomeApp().run()

This creates a tray successfully, but when I click "On", the app does not show any window and hangs. Maybe the window is somewhere, but not correctly displayed.

Your script mostly works for me. The window appears, albeit hidden behind the active app (Terminal, in my case), the app waits until I click "Ok", then I can interact with the menu again. I'm guessing the issue is something specific to your setup. Which version of Python and macOS are you using? Also, what version of pyobjc do you have installed?

To fix the problem of it appearing behind the active app, you can do something like this to ensure it's always on top until the user dismisses it:

@clicked('On')
def button(self, sender):
    sender.title = 'Off' if sender.title == 'On' else 'On'
    win = Window("I can't think of a good example app...")
    win._alert.window().setLevel_(rumps.AppKit.NSFloatingWindowLevel)
    win.run()

Hmmm... I can't see to file rumps.AppKit.NSFloatingWindowLevel...

@dwightmulcahy My bad, that might require installing other pyobjc modules. The raw value of that is (should be) 3, so you can try win._alert.window().setLevel_(3) instead.

Thanks... hate hard coding something like that. This is my compromise so I can sleep at night.

APPKIT_NSFLOATINGWINDOWLEVEL: int = 3   # rumps.AppKit.NSFloatingWindowLevel
...
      window._alert.window().setLevel_(APPKIT_NSFLOATINGWINDOWLEVEL)
