Battery block broken on Arch

[byezy]

Just started using i3status-rs, great utility.

Have been able to get all blocks of interest working as advertised except battery. Flat out can't get the battery block to work. Battery data is working with i3status fine but I'm unable to get anything reported using i3status-rs (except charge status?).

The block is being evaluated as expected, for example disabling the icons.overrides section shows the battery icon rather than |F| . There is just no state/numbers output.

Have tried with all block defaults, have tried with explicit format and device. No luck. Bug? Documentation lag? MOST LIKELY Something dumb I'm doing? I would really like to get to the bottom of this as I run Arch on a laptop and definitely want to keep using i3status-rs.

Arch Linux 6.15.9-arch1-1

Apologies if this is not a bug, or if this is the wrong channel to ask about this issue... if so please let me know the appropriate place to make queries like this... Thanks

What does the i3config battery bar config look like by the way?

Have you tried setting driver = "upower"?

Here it works under arch with no device specification:

[[block]]
block = "battery"
interval = 30
format = " $percentage {$time_remaining.dur(hms:true, min_unit:m) |}"
