Failed to connect to a custom/private address

[qingxiang-jia]

First, thank you for the help on #354. I revised my code to something like below:

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
    play_with_zbus().await;
}

async fn play_with_zbus() {
    let address = get_ibus_address().expect("Faild to get IBus address.");
    
    println!("IBus address: {}", address);
    
    let conn = ConnectionBuilder::address(Address::Unix(address.into()))
        .expect("Failed to get a connection to the session bus.")
        .auth_mechanisms(&[AuthMechanism::External])
        .build()
        .await
        .expect("Failed to build a DBus connection.");
}

I would get output like:

IBus address: unix:path=/home/lee/.cache/ibus/dbus-5pdegSP4,guid=31b5004906b205dd7d4638846472476b
thread 'main' panicked at 'Failed to build a DBus connection.: InputOutput(Os { code: 2, kind: NotFound, message: "No such file or directory" })', src/main.rs:65:10

I think the address is correct and I was able to use the same address to get it connected with the other DBus library. Maybe I missed something. Thanks!

Try passing the address string directly to the ConnectionBuilder::address instead. It takes a generic argument for a reason. 😊

Also you don't need to specify authentication mechanism.

That worked! Thank you!

That worked! Thank you!

glad to hear. I think we should add an example in the docs.
