Doesn't start then breaks Zellij

[ghost]

I get this when I first start the plugin:

Then nothing happens. If I try to relaunch the plugin it doesn't output anything and zellij goes completely unresponsive including the cli so I have to kill the processes.

I am on Linux and zellij v0.37.2. If you could point me to logs I can provide more information.

I've seen this too - I think this happens because Zellij was opened in a folder with lots of files, then monocle tried to place everything in memory and finally dies. I want to add a limit of some sort and indicate this to the user (also I want to make it open to the CWD of the focused pane to avoid this 99% of the time, but that's another issue)

Actually, it doesn't work anywhere for me. Although I just tried to use strider and a similar thing happened so maybe it's a zellij issue and not plugin specific?

[imsnif]

Could be... do you get a stacktrace or some other error?

[ghost]

No other errors or outputs, just freezes

[imsnif]

So other panes still work? How did you load it?

Please make it open on the CWD of the current pane. That would make the entire thing so much more useful!

That's the plan!

I'm facing the same behavior. In my case took around 10 seconds then it good to go. Only if I spawn a new terminal and zellij again it has to repeat the process.

@imsnif I'm wondering if it makes sense to create plugin disk caches beneath the top-level of the zellij plugin directory. This way immediate disk entries could be retrieved and then correct/update after an initial thread renders the last recorded positions.

This should be solved in the recent version
