Server exiting unexpectedly #35

Closed nspielbau closed 9 months ago

nspielbau commented 11 months ago

When starting a (fairly complex) session the catmux server seems to not come up correctly:

no server running on /tmp/tmux-1000/catmux
Using tmux config file: /home/USER/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/catmux/resources/share/catmux/tmux_default.conf
tmux -L catmux -f /home/USER/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/catmux/resources/share/catmux/tmux_default.conf new-session -s SESSIONNAME -d
Created session "SESSIONNAME"
server exited unexpectedly

Trying to start a session with the default tmux config does work somehow. When trying to start the complex session after the server is already running a session started with the default config it does not fail anymore.

This is currently reproducible on my machine, but I am not sure how I got here. Using Ubuntu 20.04.

After further investigation this is caused by the tmux config file path being wrong. Testing the config path on startup would add a meaningful error output

An error output on a non-existing tmux config would indeed be nice. If you could implement this, this would be very welcome. Please also add a test for this.

Currently I only implemented a simple path.exists check which in itself I find it hard to find a test for. I could construct a helper function around the tmux_config selection which might lead to a more meaningful test case
