As the title suggests I'm trying to assign Spotify to a specific workspace but with no luck.
My i3 config file looks like this
#Startup-programs
exec firefox
exec spotify
assign [class="Spotify"] $ws4
assign [class="Firefox"] $ws2
xprop on Spotify gives me this output
_NET_WM_ICON(CARDINAL) =
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "spotify", "Spotify"
WM_NAME(STRING) = "Spotify"
_NET_WM_NAME(UTF8_STRING) = "Spotify"
_NET_WM_DESKTOP(CARDINAL) = 0
WM_STATE(WM_STATE):
window state: Normal
icon window: 0x0
XdndProxy(WINDOW): window id # 0x1a00002
WM_NORMAL_HINTS(WM_SIZE_HINTS):
program specified location: 0, 0
window gravity: Static
_NET_WM_PID(CARDINAL) = 27058
WM_LOCALE_NAME(STRING) = "it_IT.UTF-8"
WM_CLIENT_MACHINE(STRING) = "placobravo"
WM_PROTOCOLS(ATOM): protocols WM_DELETE_WINDOW, _NET_WM_PING
At startup both firefox and spotify loads, but only firefox gets placed in its right workspace, and I really can't get what's going on since I'm using the exactly same syntax. I already tried using a different workspace but it doesn't work.
After a bit more of searching I've found a solution in another post
https://github.com/i3/i3/issues/2060
Quite strange that I didn't find this answer before, even though I searched a lot. Anyway, I ended up using
for_window [class="Spotify"] move to workspace $ws4
This solved the problem!

You could try using[instance="spotify"]instead. It might be that the class name "Spotify" does not get assigned until after the window was already created.
