can't show output of custom comman_NAME_command

[nbari]

Hi, first of all thanks for your time creating and sharing this plugin, I don't know if this is a bug or problem with my configuration, I am trying run this command:

uptime | grep -o '..user.*'

So that it looks similar to this tmux: https://i.imgur.com/ag3cv0C.png

This is my layouts/default.kdl

layout {
    default_tab_template {
        pane size=1 borderless=true {
            plugin location="https://github.com/dj95/zjstatus/releases/latest/download/zjstatus.wasm" {
                format_left   "{mode} #[fg=#89B4FA,bold]{session}"
                format_center "{tabs}"
                format_right  "{command_git_branch} {datetime}"
                format_space  ""

                border_enabled  "false"
                border_char     "─"
                border_format   "#[fg=#6C7086]{char}"
                border_position "top"

                hide_frame_for_single_pane "false"

                mode_normal  "#[bg=blue] "
                mode_tmux    "#[bg=#ffc387] "

                tab_normal   "#[fg=#6C7086] {name} "
                tab_active   "#[fg=#9399B2,bold,italic] {name} "

                command_git_branch_command     "bash -c \"uptime | grep -o '..user.*'\""
                command_git_branch_format      "#[fg=blue] {stdout}"
                command_git_branch_interval    "30"
                command_git_branch_rendermode  "raw"

                datetime        "#[fg=#6C7086,bold] {format} "
                datetime_format "%H:%M:%S"
                datetime_timezone "Europe/Berlin"
            }
        }
        children
    }
}

The version of zellij that I am using is zellig 0.40.1.

If for the command I use somethiing like command_uptime_command nothinig happens, I need to use command_git_branch_command here the command runs but I only see the seconds from the datetime.

Any idea if this is posisble? also I would like to have the status bar on top, that's why I ahve children at the bottom but in any case I still have the problem.

I tried to run zellig with the -d/--debug or RUST_LOG=debug zellij, and also printing {stderr} but can't find any logs therefore wondering how could I debug?

Any hint/tip would be apreciated.

Hi and thanks for the detailed questions. I'm not really sure what the exact problem is.

At least on my machine the layout seem to work.

If you want to rename the command_git_branch to command_uptime you can do it if you replace it everywhere it is used in the layout. Also in the format sections.

Here's an example

layout {
    default_tab_template {
        pane size=1 borderless=true {
            plugin location="https://github.com/dj95/zjstatus/releases/latest/download/zjstatus.wasm" {
                format_left   "{mode} #[fg=#89B4FA,bold]{session}"
                format_center "{tabs}"
-                format_right  "{command_git_branch} {datetime}"
+                format_right  "{command_uptime} {datetime}"
                format_space  ""

                border_enabled  "false"
                border_char     "─"
                border_format   "#[fg=#6C7086]{char}"
                border_position "top"

                hide_frame_for_single_pane "false"

                mode_normal  "#[bg=blue] "
                mode_tmux    "#[bg=#ffc387] "

                tab_normal   "#[fg=#6C7086] {name} "
                tab_active   "#[fg=#9399B2,bold,italic] {name} "

-                command_git_branch_command     "bash -c \"uptime | grep -o '..user.*'\""
-                command_git_branch_format      "#[fg=blue] {stdout}"
-                command_git_branch_interval    "30"
-                command_git_branch_rendermode  "raw"

+                command_uptime_command     "bash -c \"uptime | grep -o '..user.*'\""
+                command_uptime_format      "#[fg=blue] {stdout}"
+                command_uptime_interval    "30"
+                command_uptime_rendermode  "raw"

                datetime        "#[fg=#6C7086,bold] {format} "
                datetime_format "%H:%M:%S"
                datetime_timezone "Europe/Berlin"
            }
        }
        children
    }
}

Hi @dj95, many thanks for testing indeed that's the desired output, I tested in full screen and it works but when resizing the terminal it gets truncated, this is an example of how it looks (left side tmux, right side zellij + zjstatus):

Is it possible to skip the center and let panel/tabs at the left and custom options at the right?

[dj95]

Sure, just play around with the format_left, format_center and format_right configuration. You can also leave them empty in case you don't need them. For further details, also take a look at the wiki: https://github.com/dj95/zjstatus/wiki/3-%E2%80%90-Configuration

This did it:

 format_left   "{mode} #[fg=#89B4FA,bold]{session}{tabs}"
 format_right  "{command_uptime} {datetime}"
 format_space  ""

Many thanks :+1:
