Did you try the latest nightly build to see if the problem got fixed?

Yes, and I updated the debug information above (yazi --debug) to the nightly that I tried

Describe the bug

The DDS static messages only work when at least 2 instances of Yazi are running. I've done some tests and this issue seems to have been introduced when pub_static was replaced with pub_to in #1172.

It's being affecting users that are using bookmarks.yazi in Yazi v0.3, as reported in this issue .

Minimal reproducer

Add the following plugin test.yazi

local publish = ya.sync(function(_, msg)
    ya.err("Published Test Message: " .. tostring(msg))
    ps.pub_to(0, "@test", msg)
end)

local subscribe = ya.sync(function()
    ya.err("Subscribe")
    ps.sub_remote("@test", function(body) ya.err("Read Test Message: " .. tostring(body)) end)
end)

return {
    entry = function(_, args)
        if args[1] == "pub" then
            publish("Test")
        else
            publish(nil)
        end
    end,
    setup = function(_) subscribe() end,
}

Call the setup function in init.lua and add two entries in keymap.toml like, for example:

[[manager.prepend_keymap]]
on = [ "?", "P" ]
run = "plugin test --args=pub"
desc = "Publish test static message"

[[manager.prepend_keymap]]
on = [ "?", "C" ]
run = "plugin test"
desc = "Clear static messages"

Then:

• open Yazi (making sure that no other instance is running) and publish a message
• close and reopen Yazi again
• the test message was not saved (is not printed when subscribing)

If doing this steps are done with 2 instance of Yazi running it works

Anything else?

Thanks for reporting, should be fixed in https://github.com/sxyazi/yazi/pull/1467

[dedukun]

It's working as expected now, thanks for the quick fix.
