How to convert swaymsg below to hyprland using hyprctl, anyone possible help me up?

What does the command do?

@fufexan It use for the wf-recorder, as the full command below

wf-recorder --audio=alsa_output.pci-0000_08_00.6.analog-stereo.monitor --file=$HOME/Videos/$filename --geometry "$(swaymsg -t get_tree | jq -r '.. | select(.pid? and .visible?) | .rect | "\(.x),\(.y) \(.width)x\(.height)"' | slurp -c "#FFFFFF" )" >/dev/null 2>&1 &

i want to use it on hyrpland, but stuck on swaymsg -t get_tree.

What about hyprctl activewindow -j | jq -r '"\(.at[0]),\(.at[1]) \(.size[0])x\(.size[1])"', which yields 6,38 788x956 (in my case)?

[thyeun]

@fufexan No error, but the active window not cover by slurp with color #FFFFFF

Running in terminal, it will activated the slurp, but some how on-click at waybar, the slurp wont trigger (might be also because my code having issue)

I think your hyprctl activewindow do the magic.

thank you so much
