Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: macos

Layout

How does the layout look like? Please copy it into a code block.

// vi: ft=javascript

layout {
  pane
  pane size=1 borderless=true {
        // curl -L -o $HOME/.config/zellij/plugins/zjstatus.wasm https://github.com/dj95/zjstatus/releases/latest/download/zjstatus.wasm
    plugin location="file:$HOME/.config/zellij/plugins/zjstatus.wasm" {
      hide_frame_for_single_pane "false"

      format_left  "#[fg=0,bg=10] [{session}] {tabs}"
      format_space "#[bg=10]"
      format_right "#[fg=0,bg=10]{command_git_branch} {datetime}"

      tab_normal "{name}  "
      tab_active "{name}* "

      command_git_branch_command    "git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD"
      command_git_branch_format     "{stdout} "
      command_git_branch_interval   "10"
      command_git_branch_rendermode "static"

      datetime                  " {format} "
      datetime_format     "%H:%M:%S"
      datetime_timezone "America/Denver"
    }
  }
}
session_name "0"
attach_to_session true

Additional context This might be an issue with zellij proper and not this plugin 🤷

Hey,

thanks for your bug report. Can you please check how you created the layout and configured it? Especially check if it is configured as default layout, please. On my side it seems to work.

I am not sure if this is what you mean.

[dj95]

Exactly these information, I were looking for :)

Is basic.kdl the layout you've provided with zjstatus config?

On my machine, I stored the layout config in a file called default.kdl in the layout directory. This way you don't need to set the default_layout config key. Can you test if this works?

[dj95]

Did you have another try with the default.kdl as filename?

[casonadams]

yes I get the same results.

Sorry for the late reply. Did you manage to solve the problem?

I've tried to recreate it again within a docker container and your exact same versions. Still no luck in recreating the issue.

Here are all of the config I've created, so you are able to verify if there is something different from your setup (except the OS).

The only thing I could image is, that other another zellij instance is running without the configuration or the cache is somehow messed up. You could try to clean the cache at ~/Library/Caches/org.Zellij-Contributors.Zellij/* and reboot your Mac. Otherwise I'm pretty desperate and have no idea what is going on. Sorry.

Hey @casonadams , any updates on this?

[casonadams]

No I don't have an update. I suppose if you can't reproduce it's just an error on my side.

We can probably just close this out then yes?

[dj95]

I'm sorry for your experience. Maybe you can also test, if the remaining layout besides zjstatus also is not loaded and then open an issue on zellijs side. It might be an issue on this end.

[dj95]

Feel free to re-open or comment the issue, if you found a minimal reproduction scenario (best in a docker container). Then I'll take a look at it.
