Slimux not Affecting the Selected Tmux Pane

[jglev]

Hello,

I just found out about Slimux (having previously been using vim-slime), and am excited to try it out! However, I haven't been able to get Slimux working, and so am wondering whether I'm doing something wrong, or if there might be a compatibility bug with my version of Tmux and/or Vim.

Versions:

• tmux -V tells me that I'm using version 1.9a
• vim --version tells me that I'm using version "7.4 (2013 Aug 10)"
• I'm using the master branch of Slimux, at the current commit (as of this writing), f8ae770. I installed it using Pathogen. I know that the install worked, because Vim recognizes the Slimux commands and doesn't give any error messages when I try to use them.

  Replicating the Issue:

Here are the steps I'm taking when trying to use Slimux:

1. Start a tmux session with tmux new-session -s "Test"
2. Split the tmux window with Ctrl+b %
3. In one pane of the split tmux window, launch R (or python)
4. In the other pane, launch vim
5. In vim:
   1. Write 5+5
   2. Navigate the cursor to be on the same line as the 5+5
   3. In normal mode, do :SlimuxREPLSendLine
      1. Slimux now prompts me to select a tmux window.
         • I can navigate up and down. However, when I press the spacebar, nothing happens (no overlay of which window is which)
         • Using the Slimux selection window, I select the tmux pane that's running R or python, and press Enter.
         • Vim's status bar says ":SlimuxREPLSendLine" (i.e., it was recognized as a command, with no errors), but nothing happens in the other tmux pane.
         • Nothing happens in the other tmux pane when I use SlimuxShellRun, either (e.g., with just bash running in the other tmux pane, using :SlimuxShellRun ls *\** in vim).
         • SlimuxSendKeysPrompt and SlimuxSendKeysLast do work, however.

Am I forgetting to set something up here? From the Readme and blog posts I've read, I'm unsure whether there's more setup I should be doing.

hey, I'm not able to replicate the bug, what OS are you using? and can you send the output of vim --version?

I have not tested the spacebar for selecting, but I will check that one, using enter, however, should have selected the window, and sent the line successfully. I wouldn't expect it to be broken because of anything in the "vim --version" ouptut specially because you're running the same version of vim that I am.

I'll come up with a minimal vimrc so we can debug what's up and rule out that it may be vim/tmux.

Hello, same here. Everythin worked fine until 30 minutes ago when I updated my plugins. Now nothing happens. I use vim-plug for plugin management, tmux 1.8 and vim 7.4.

[gsunjka]

I went back to 2f0030a6f5f25af295088f2d3ebf353d08ade438 and now everything works as expected again. Excellent plugin, by the way.

Ah, that explains it, named buffers are mentioned in the changes from tmux 1.9a to 2.0.

@epeli should we roll back this commit for now to support older versions of tmux and try to fix the issue #51 (cc: @sunaku ) in another way? If we don't we should at least document the point where compatibility breaks. Thanks @gsunjka for the help and finding the breaking commit.

@gsunjka When you said "I went back to 2f0030a and now everything works as expected again", did you really mean that commit (2f0030a) or the one immediately preceding it (0ff0e9b49faef3a72e29c352fde81f26484d8406)? :confused:

I ask because 2f0030a and master are currently the same (with respect to their git tree contents). :christmas_tree:

Also, I just confirmed, following @sunaku, that doing git checkout 0ff0e9b causes Slimux to work for me, as well (Doing a checkout on 2f0030a does not work). Cheers! :smiley:

[gsunjka]

@sunaku Sorry, I ment 0ff0e9b.

[sunaku]

Thanks all :+1:, PR #57 submitted to fix this issue. :cake:

[jglev]

Thank you!

[slashfoo]

Merged the request, @publicus and @gsunjka can you please confirm the fix? And again, thanks @sunaku.

[gsunjka]

Works here. Thanks a lot to all, especially @sunaku. :+1:

[jglev]

Works for me, as well. Thank you all!
