Issue with Vim Tmux Navigator?

[thewatts]

There's an issue using tmate and Vim Tmux Navigator together.

It looks like the issue is because of mismatching versions of tmate and tmux.
More info here and here.

Arh... I haven't upgraded tmate to the 1.9 yet. And there is a ton of things that need some fixing.

I'll have some more time after May 1st. I apologize for the lack of updates.

Thanks for the heads up, @nviennot !

[thewatts]

hey @nviennot --- any progress on this by chance?

Thanks!

[nviennot]

Argh.. Not yet. I got ambushed by my advisor, and I have yo do more school work.
I should have made some progress by the end of the month

Hi, I just noticed this issue with tmux version mismatch today. Btw I don't run vim navigator, but the root problem is the same I think.

You probably already know this, but for the sake of documentation, here's how to reproduce:

# inside tmate
~ $ tmux ls
protocol version mismatch (client 8, server 7)

Thanks for all the great work!

[thewatts]

@nviennot - understand how that goes for sure.

I wish I knew more about this tool so I could help! I'm a ruby dev :/

[thewatts]

hey @nviennot -- any progress on this?
If not - is there any way that I could help?

[nviennot]

Not yet. I'm still swamped.

Yes. The first thing to do is:

1. update the tmux code to latest.
2. remove libssh and msgpack libraries from the project, and use the system library instead

[mrmurphy]

Youch, I'm hoping for this also, but I don't think I'll be much help. @nviennot Thanks for tmate!

[nviennot]

If you put this in your .bashrc / .zshrc:

if [[ $TMUX =~ tmate ]]; then alias tmux=tmate; fi 

does it help?

[mrmurphy]

I'm afraid it wouldn't help me much, the thing that chafes me is that I can't use pane_current_path in tmate to have new splits be in the same directory as the originating split.

It doesn't seem like aliasing tmux to tmate would solve that at all, as it's a tmux api incompatibility. Right?

[nviennot]

oh I see. So for the directory split issue, you can have a quick hack:

if you have in your ~/.tmux.conf:

bind -n M-\ split-window -h -c '#{pane_current_path}'
bind -n M-- split-window -v -c '#{pane_current_path}'

put in your ~/.tmate.conf:

bind -n M-\ split-window -h
bind -n M-- split-window -v

That is, you just remove the -c ... argument.

[mrmurphy]

Well, I feel silly. For now then, I don't feel an urgent need for 1.9 :) I've downgraded tmux to 1.8
Thanks for your help!

[nviennot]

updating tmate to tmux 1.9 is really on my list, but I'm being a little conservative because I'm not sure what could break and all that. I don't want to introduce regressions, because I know I won't have the time to deal with them. Sorry about that :)

[mrmurphy]

Not a problem. Thank you!

Any plans for adopting tmux 1.9a?

[nviennot]

Yes! But no time yet

[jondkinney]

+1 if only I knew C I'd love to help out :/

[daviddavis]

👍 is this the issue being used to track 1.9 support?

[christoomey]

There is a new PR in work on the vim-tmux-navigator repo that automatically detects tmate based on this snippet from @nviennot.

You can see the PR here: christoomey/vim-tmux-navigator#89

P.S. Thanks a ton for tmate @nviennot, it's great!

[nviennot]

I'll update to the latest tmux soon :)

[christoomey]

Follow up for anyone using Vim Tmux Navigator. I've gone ahead and merged the fix (christoomey/vim-tmux-navigator#89) so if you pull locally all should be set. This works with the current tmate. I'll leave to @nviennot to close, but I believe this issue is resolved.

[nviennot]

tmate has been upgraded to latest version of tmux.

Run brew install --HEAD tmate if you use homebrew. Install from sources (git HEAD) if not.
