>Description:
When using Awesome WM Awful's Spawn API the following error is thrown:

attempt to index a nil value (field 'UnixInputStream')
>How-To-Repeat:
There are quite a few ways to trigger the error, for example by performing a call to awful.spawn.easy_async_with_shell
>Fix:
The issue is already fixed upstream in the master branch (but still unreleased):
https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/pull/4022/changes
