Hi and thanks for your bug report.

Can you please ensure, that the downloaded file is not corrupted?

$ shasum -a 256 zjstatus.wasm # on linux it's sha256sum zjstatus.wasm
2204df4a5db811aa7ed3385f8b04ef99d572fddaf23f17c417b2e154d5577be5  zjstatus.wasm

If it has the correct checksum, please validate the path in your layout file. Use the default name of the wasm file (no special characters). Then kill all zellij sessions and delete the serialised ones (for resurrection). Use one of the simple examples in the config, to see an actual bar. Clean the cache directory and try to start zellij. This should resolve the issue.

I've used the downloaded binary with linux while debugging an issue yesterday, so unfortunately I'm not able to reproduce the issue :/

[olekspickle]

did all you suggested - same result. For cache clean I use rm -rf ~/.cache/zellij/*. If there is a cache problem, where else can it lie?

❯ sha256sum  zj_status.wasm

UPD: I think I know what the problem is. I wanted to script my reproducible env and it seems curling wasm package yields incorrect wasm binary, I bet the one I downloaded by hands work

Try to download it with wget. This works perfectly on my side. So I guess that's the problem, why it doesn't load.

Then we can close the issue, if it loads fine when downloaded manually

Edit: Problem with curl is a redirect. You receive an empty wasm file. If you add -L to the params, it should work also with curl.

yep, you are completely right, my bad forgetting the redirect Thank you so much for your time and plugin!
