Tmuxinator Conflict

[Gex2501]

With tmuxinator I used to be able to have a command initially run when a window/pane was created. After updating hishtory to 0.311 the command prints in the window but never executes. If I comment out the source /home/user/.hishtory/config.zsh from my .zshrc file it works fine, but of course hishtory does not. I wish I could downgrade hishtory to tell you what version it was working on but I don't know how to do that.

edit: I have been able to rollback my virtual machine and confirm things were working correctly in v0.297

I have been able to determine that whatever was changed from v.0.304 to v.0.305 is when the problem began to occur.

Ah interesting, thank you for opening this bug! I tried to reproduce this with this tmuxinator config:

name: test
root: ~/

on_project_start: echo on_project_start

windows:
  - editor:
      layout: main-vertical
      panes:
        - echo pane

And for me, things seem to be working as I'd expect where I see both of those echo commands get executed. Can you share a bit more about your tmuxinator config and exactly what behavior you're observing? Also what tmuxinator, tmux, and shell versions you're using might be helpful. Thank you!

I believe I have narrowed down the problem. It's something to do with setting the TERM variable. In my .zshrc I have export TERM="xterm-256color" and in my .tmux.conf I have set -g default-terminal 'linux' I don't know why I have these lines exactly. Just something that got put in over the years. I have to comment out BOTH of those lines to make things work as expected. If either of the lines is present the initial commands in the panes do not run.

NOTE: the on_project_start in the test.yml file seems to be just fine.

Here's my sample configuration, some items redacted. I took out all my other crazy configuration and narrowed it down to barebones. Everything else in my config doesn't seem to be an issue. I think you can replicate the problem using this configuration.

versions:

Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS
zsh 5.9 (x86_64-ubuntu-linux-gnu)
omz master (f6cd6a7) #latest
tmux 3.4
tmuxinator 3.3.0
hishtory version v0.311

~/.zshrc:

# Created by newuser for 5.9

# For screen compatibility
export TERM="xterm-256color"

# Hishtory Config:
export OPENAI_API_KEY=ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890
export HISHTORY_SERVER=http://SERVER.TAILNET.ts.net:8088
[[ ":$PATH:" != *":$HOME/.hishtory:"* ]] && export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.hishtory"
source /home/USERNAME/.hishtory/config.zsh

~/.config/tmuxinator/test.yml

name: test
root: ~/

on_project_start: echo on_project_start

windows:
  - editor:
      layout: main-vertical
      panes:
        - echo pane
        - date

~/.tmux.conf

set -g default-terminal 'linux'
