Don't run the commands appropriately

[devrrior]

Describe the bug When I start one of my projects, the commands which I set to run in the panes don't run correctly.

To Reproduce Just run tmuxinator start project

Expected behavior I expected my windows to execute the commands correctly.

Environment

• tmuxinator Version: 3.0.2
  • tmux Version: 3.2a
• Ruby Version: 3.1.1p18
• OS: macOS Monterrey version 12.3

Additional information

My config

name: chat-message
root: ~/repos/chat-messages
on_project_start: docker-compose up -d
# on_project_exit: docker-compose down

windows:
  - frontend:
      root: ~/repos/chat-messages/frontend
      panes:
        - editor:
            - vim +'Telescope find_files'

  - backend:
      root: ~/repos/chat-messages/backend
      panes:
        - editor:
            - vim +'Telescope find_files'

  - server:
      layout: main-vertical
      panes:
        - react-server:
            - cd frontend/
            - clear
            - docker-compose logs --follow frontend

        - backend-server:
            - cd backend/
            - clear
            - docker-compose logs --follow backend

Same issue here. I'm suspicious that this issue may happens on MacOS only, because this issue does not happen on my Linux environment.

Same issue also reproducible on Linux running in WSL2. I am installing from apt so in my case I have:

• tmux 3.2a
• tmuxinator 3.0.1
• ruby 2.7.4p191 (2021-07-07 revision a21a3b7d23) [x86_64-linux-gnu]
• linux-gnu

Same here. I was setting up a new machine and absolutely losing it because I couldn't figure out what was wrong with my yml.

same here

did anyone manage to fix this? same for me

[akofink]

If someone could give me the output of tmuxinator debug <project>, it might help debugging this issue. 🙇

I am not able to reproduce it locally yet, but it seems similar to https://github.com/tmuxinator/tmuxinator/issues/909

@akofink

so for me the problem actually seems to be, that the keys are send before oh-my-posh is fully loaded. As such I assume the issue is not because of tmuxinator.

For good measure heres the output anyway:

#!/bin/zsh

# Clear rbenv variables before starting tmux
unset RBENV_VERSION
unset RBENV_DIR

tmux start-server;

cd /home/simon/1_Coding/todo-list

# Run on_project_start command.

  # Run pre command.

  # Run on_project_first_start command.

  # Create the session and the first window. Manually switch to root
  # directory if required to support tmux < 1.9
  TMUX= tmux new-session -d -s todo-list -n editor -c /home/simon/1_Coding/todo-list

  # Create other windows.
  tmux new-window -c /home/simon/1_Coding/todo-list -t todo-list:2 -n bacon

  # Window "editor"

  tmux set-window-option -t todo-list:1 pane-border-status top
  tmux set-window-option -t todo-list:1 pane-border-format "#{pane_index}: #{pane_title}"

  tmux send-keys -t todo-list:1.1 nvim C-m

  tmux splitw -c /home/simon/1_Coding/todo-list -t todo-list:1
  tmux select-layout -t todo-list:1 tiled

  tmux send-keys -t todo-list:1.2 cargo\ check C-m

  tmux select-layout -t todo-list:1 tiled

  tmux select-layout -t todo-list:1 main-vertical
  tmux select-pane -t todo-list:1.1

  # Window "bacon"

  tmux set-window-option -t todo-list:2 pane-border-status top
  tmux set-window-option -t todo-list:2 pane-border-format "#{pane_index}: #{pane_title}"

  tmux send-keys -t todo-list:2 bacon\ clippy C-m

  tmux select-window -t todo-list:1
  tmux select-pane -t todo-list:1.1

  if [ -z "$TMUX" ]; then
    tmux -u attach-session -t todo-list
  else
    tmux -u switch-client -t todo-list
  fi

# Run on_project_exit command.

[akofink]

That makes sense! Thank you for this insight, it is really useful. 💯

[DefinitelyNotSimon13]

ofc!

For anyone who might come across this later on, a workaround that worked for me: I use zsh-defer on the eval "$(oh-my-posh init zsh ...)" command. To avoid showing the default for a split second, I also set PS1="" at the beginning of my .zshrc file.

# .zshrc
PS1=""
# [...]

zsh-defer eval "($oh-my-posh) init zsh --config [...]

@DefinitelyNotSimon13 ~I'm having this same issue on NixOS, neovim just doesn't open but it shows the command above oh-my-posh.~ I applied the above mentioned fix but it did not work.

Edit: I found out Nix wasn't adding the zsh-defer line properly and it is all working now thanks!

Here is my project:
