Install plugin in another folder is not working about tpm HOT 6 CLOSED

Can you please try using the full path instead of using the ~ and see if that helps?

from tpm.

There might be a bug when using the ~ but let's just first verify things work with the full path.

I made some tests when configuring the TMUX_PLUGIN_MANAGER_PATH and get some strange results.

Following lines are not working :

set-environment -g TMUX_PLUGIN_MANAGER_PATH '~/.dotfiles/tmux/plugins'
set-environment -g TMUX_PLUGIN_MANAGER_PATH "~/.dotfiles/tmux/plugins"
set-environment -g TMUX_PLUGIN_MANAGER_PATH '/Users/johan/.dotfiles/tmux/plugins'

But this line is working :

set-environment -g TMUX_PLUGIN_MANAGER_PATH "/Users/johan/.dotfiles/tmux/plugins"

The only difference is the double quote instead of single quote.

And there is definitively something broken, because I am not sure plugin's script are executed on reloading tmux : I don't see my batterie percentage on my status bar that I had working when using standard plugins path.

Thank you for checking this and confirming it works with the full path. At least we can now narrow the issue to that tilde character. I'll try to see where's the problem.

I'm surprised to see there's any difference between the singe and double quotes. I never noticed any difference when testing it for other things.

And btw. thanks for having patience with this. Some of the tpm non-core features could be rough around the edges, but hopefully we can iron it out.

So, there was an issue with tilde character expansion. This is nicely described in this stackoverflow thread.
I've implemented and pushed a fix.

I also tested this by changing TPM path and everything was working now (even the battery in status-right).

Can you please update tpm and see if things work now?

It's now working as it should :)

Thanks 👍
