Can't figure out how to get tmux-continuum to work with tmux-nova

Here is the plugin I'm having trouble with.

From their docs:

Continuous saving Tmux environment will be saved at an interval of 15 minutes. All the saving happens in the background without impact to your workflow. This action starts automatically when the plugin is installed. Note it requires the status line to be on to run (since it uses a hook in status-right to run).

The suggested method for getting this working is:

set -g status-right 'Continuum status: #{continuum_status}'

Seeing as I'm using tmux-nova, instead I thought I should do this:

set -g @nova-segment-continuum "Continuum status: #{continuum_status}"

The segment appears but it reads "Continuum status: off". I assume this is because the "hook in status-right" is not working.

Here are the relevant parts of my config:

# Plugins
set -g @plugin 'o0th/tmux-nova' # https://github.com/o0th/tmux-nova
set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tmux-resurrect' # https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-resurrect
set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tmux-continuum' # https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-continuum

# Continuum Segment
set -g @nova-segment-continuum "Continuum status: #{continuum_status}"
set -g @nova-segment-continuum-colors "#303030 #a8a8a8"

# Segment features
set -g @nova-segments-0-left "prefixl session"
set -g @nova-segments-0-right "mode continuum whoami prefixr"

# Resurrect
set -g @resurrect-capture-pane-contents 'on'

# Continuum
set -g @continuum-restore 'on'
set -g @continuum-boot 'on'

Any help would be greatly appreciated because I'm stumped!

Hi @notoyz! I'm not sure what the expected behavior is for that plugin but we can try something:

set -g @nova-segment-continuum "Status: #(~/.tmux/plugins/tmux-continuum/scripts/continuum_status.sh)"

Then I read here that you have to specify set -g @continuum-save-interval 15 to make it works.

I did these two changes and it seems to be working, let me know if this fixes your issue.
