Very strange issue with script and notification , might be unrelated...

Issue description

While calling my script through qtile (mouse-callback and via the run promt) the pango markup in the notification just vanishes… I just cant wrap my head around how this is possible. The same script , just called through qtile. I use dunst ( 1.6.1 (2021-02-21) ) for notifications, I will post an issue there as well.

#!/bin/sh

day="$(date +'%A')"
calendar="$(cal --color=always |\
		sed -r 's#\[7m(.*)\[27m#<b><i><big>\1</big></i></b>#' |\
		sed -r 's/$/ /g')"
# echo -n "$calendar"
weather="$(curl -s wttr.in/Crete\?format=4)"
notify-send "$day" "\n<big>$calendar</big>\n\n$weather" -i weather_few_cloud

NIce, sounds like notify-send was getting some terminfo to figure out what to do with the escaping of text… maybe? Anyway, great that you got it 😃

[LamprosPitsillos]

UPDATE! I started running env -u *** ~/.scripts/get_day_info.sh which what -u does is removes variables and runs a command. I started running it while going through the Diff file, and i found what was braking it, still dont know why tho… While running it with TERM var removed , a var that Qtile env doesnt have ,it doesn’t work. env -u TERM ~/.scripts/get_day_info.sh

Adding export TERM=xterm-kitty to my script fixed it!

I would love an explanation on why this was the problem before closing the issue, or a better fix ( maybe how to add this var to Qtile env so that this doesn’t happen again?)
