idk if the fault is on my side, but it works on hyprland.

this is the repo for test: https://github.com/ogios/gf-bar

Frame callbacks don't happen on their own, you need to commit after requesting one.

https://wayland.app/protocols/wayland#wl_surface:request:frame

The frame request will take effect on the next wl_surface.commit. The notification will only be posted for one frame unless requested again. For a wl_surface, the notifications are posted in the order the frame requests were committed.

but as what CompositorHandler::frame suggested

This function will be called if you request a frame callback by passing the surface itself as the userdata (surface.frame(&queue, &surface)); you can also implement Dispatch for other values to more easily dispatch rendering for specific surface types.

which means that the function with prints draw frame should be happening right? sorry i'm a bit confused

i used to think that it's an issue related to smithay, but it's working under hyprland which confuses me, what should be the correct behavior? should this function be called?

You need to commit after requesting a frame callback. I suggest asking in the smithay client toolkit matrix
