Automatic tmux start and automatic restore not working in OSX

Automatic tmux start and automatic restore does not work in OSX

Here's the .tmux.conf

unbind C-b
set-option -g prefix C-a
bind C-a send-prefix

set -g mouse-utf8 on
set -g mouse on

set-option -g default-command "reattach-to-user-namespace -l zsh"

set -g terminal-overrides 'xterm*:smcup@:rmcup@'

set -g default-command "reattach-to-user-namespace -l /bin/zsh"

# List of plugins
set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tpm'
set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tmux-sensible'

# Other examples:
# set -g @plugin 'github_username/plugin_name'
# set -g @plugin 'git@github.com/user/plugin'
# set -g @plugin 'git@bitbucket.com/user/plugin'

# Initialize TMUX plugin manager (keep this line at the very bottom of tmux.conf)
run '~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/tpm'

set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tmux-resurrect'
set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tmux-continuum'

set -g @continuum-restore 'on'
set -g @continuum-boot 'on'
set -g @continuum-boot-options 'iterm'

tmux 2.1 iTerm2 2.9.20160313 OSX 10.11.4

Automatic saving is working fine.

Yes, i meet the same problem

You can restore if you type prefix + Ctrl-R within 15 min of a tmux session start after restart. That's the workaround I'm using now

[Leeiio]

@chamoda Yes, prefix + ctrl-r can restore but automatic restore not working :(

[eduncan911]

It's always worked for me. Here's my config on OSX:

https://github.com/eduncan911/dotfiles/blob/master/.tmux.conf

set -g @continuum-save-interval '15'
set -g @continuum-restore 'on'
run-shell ~/.tmux/plugins/tmux-continuum/continuum.tmux

Note that i set the options first below I run the shell command. I found this was the only way to get the plugin to read the settings.

Also note that the auto-save never worked for me. I just have to remember to <prefix>-CTRL-R before rebooting.

Note that this was the case until today, when I updated tmux to latest via Homebrew. Now my tmux crashes with lost server, and it is because of this plugin (i am creating another issue for it).

I have the same issue when I put the options BELOW the run-shell command. I have the lost server issue if I put the options ABOVE the run-shell command.

Sorry for the late reply everyone.

@chamoda , as for your .tmux.conf file in this post, please ensure this line run '~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/tpm' is the last line in your .tmux.conf.

Everything else looks ok but we might have other bugs tho. My terminal of choice is Terminal.app and this one should work.

@eduncan911 , I checked your .tmux.conf from this post and it looks ok. Given that you're not using tpm, then yes, you have to run the plugins manually with run-shell ...

I'm not sure what's causing the lost server error ..
