Tmux resurrect file not found! about tmux-continuum HOT 12 OPEN

This error occurred for me when the symbolic link last was pointing to a non-existent resurrect file. I'm guessing I quit tmux while tmux-resurrect was saving.

To solve I created a new link pointing to the last created save:

ln -sf tmux_resurrect_2017-09-08T09:53:43.txt last

from tmux-continuum.

Yeah.... and this is obvious, but make sure you've actually saved a session (prefix + ctrl-s) before trying to restore (prefix + ctrl-r). 🤦‍♂️

I wrote a shell function to help dealing with this:

function tmux-resurrect-reset-last() {
    cd ~/.tmux/resurrect && \
        ln -f -s $(/bin/ls -t tmux_resurrect_*.txt | head -n 1) last && \
        /bin/ls -l last
}

I had same error, after trying to save session. chmod 755 ~/.tmux fixed it. Problem was that it was never saving the session because of permission issues.

I had a same issue. Resolved the issue by

1. ls -lah ~/.tmux/tmux-resurrect/last
2. cd ~/ && ls -lah .

if your tmux folder is owned by "root", not username like this
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4.0K Jul 21 17:33 .tmux/
Make sure to change the ownership by
sudo chown $(whoami):$(whoami) -R .tmux

My stupidity of using root privilege whilst installing resurrect caused this issue....

This happened to me just after restarting my computer using the "reboot" command line. I suppose it somehow caught the resurrect plugin in the middle of saving the session and it never got the chance to create the "last" symbolic link before the shutdown. Thank you @tim-phillips for the tip.

This issue no longer happens on latest updates.

The resurrect directory did exist but looks like it was caused by the lack of saved session in the directory. This had me confused for the entire time and thought I installed the plugin incorrectly so after further reinstalls I finally got it. For newbs like me I think it would probably help if the error would be more specific.

Still happening for me, latest version. I regularly come to this issue and try a couple of the solutions but never manage to find out which one actually does the trick.

If you try to save it from a vagrant machine into the host via shared folder it wont work because of the permissions as @omenius said :'/

UPDATE 20180627: To follow up with what user errors were causing my issue... I regularly transition between a VM and laptop, which means I'm always pushing and pulling changes from my repos. In the case of tmux-resurrect, I tried simplifying my dotfile management by using $ git add -u, which as I know now, will NOT bring in any newly created files, only update those that were already part of the repo. This caused the last file to point to a .txt file reference that, after pulling down from git, did not exist in the pull. Going back to manually adding things through $ git add .tmux-resurrect and things are now smooth sailing again :)

Thank you @tim-phillips, your solution is what did the trick on my end!

These is the solution!
