tmux source error, unknown command: tmux

[ponymushama]

After delete all my original tmux config, I copy tmux.conf and tmux.conf.local to my ~/.config/tmux folder.

Then I run command tmux source ~/.config/tmux/tmux.conf

This is the error:

/var/folders/jj/ft3n_l4905vbcwcp4cng8g6m0000gn/T/tmp.1rzhbzUL.in:10: unknown command: tmux

I am using macOS, Wezterm, fish.

Help pleace~

@gpakosz Can you help me look at the problem?

[gpakosz]

Hello there,

Then I run command tmux source ~/.config/tmux/tmux.conf

You're not supposed to run this command. Please make sure you kill all tmux processes (client and server) and then launch tmux again (without sourcing any configuration file).

[ponymushama]

Same error, Did you solve it?

I completely delete tmux, then re-install tmux, the problem has gone. I run rm .config/tmux too.

I was installing the plugin and it showed this

[gpakosz]

Is tmux even in your PATH?

[unix2dos]

Is tmux even in your PATH?

Yes, /opt/homebrew/bin/tmux

[gpakosz]

Try disabling plugins one by one until you find the one that causes problem then

[gpakosz]

You way also want to look at the content of that temporary file, if it's still there
