No plugins run at all? about tpm HOT 12 CLOSED

Hey @MikeDacre,
thanks for this investigation. This diff was pretty helpful.

In case where tpm is not working it seems tpm key bindings are set, but sourcing/starting plugins fails for some reason. This can be seen from the log and it also explains why you get this:

 ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/tpm' returned 1

If you have some time here are a couple simple things you can check:

• start tmux, we expect you'll get ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/tpm' returned 1 because plugin sourcing fails
• inside tmux manually run the script that sources plugins ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/scripts/source_plugins.sh. The script should have NO output, but maybe you'll get something because we suspect a bug here.. any error output?

Hey, did you get any progress with this?

I also don't know what's wrong here.. this is the first issue where nothing works for the user.

from tpm.

I haven't tried anything else yet, I had to go visit family suddenly and haven't been working.

There must be some conflict in my environment, but I have no idea where. I will look into it again when I return to work in a week or so.

Hey, any updates on this?

from tpm.

Hi Bruno,

Sorry for the delay.

I managed to get it working on a university system running Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS kernel 3.13.0-45-generic with tmux 1.9a, however it does not work on my personal system which is Arch Linux kernel 4.1.2-2-ARCH with tmux 2.0. The .tmux.conf file is identical on both systems.

I just installed tmux 2.0 on the remote system and I can confirm that it isn't the tmux version, so it is probably some other system configuration issue between Ubuntu and Arch, but I don't know what.

I run the z shell in tmux is that matters, version 5.0.5 on the corn system and version 5.0.8 on the arch system.

Do you have any suggestions on how to debug?

from tpm.

OK, I tried to run tmux with tmux -vvvv on both machines and then run Ctrl-s I to install the plugin. As expected it ran fine on the Ubuntu machine but not on the Arch machine. I put the server log for the Ubuntu machine here: https://gist.github.com/MikeDacre/f437480f43f741c1413b and for the Arch machine here: https://gist.github.com/MikeDacre/66de259f2a18c42785a0

The client logs were identical, and the output log was uninteresting.

The full diff is here: https://gist.github.com/MikeDacre/3d038ed751235cc57927. The left file (>) is functional (Ubuntu) and the right (<) is not (Arch). I realized that the server logs are out of order, so I greped out all of the lines starting with 'cmdq', removed the second column, which is just a hash, and then diffed them again. That file is much shorter and is here: https://gist.github.com/MikeDacre/af065b53223601135ac5. The left file (>) is functional and the right (<) is not.

The first 20 lines just reflect a path difference on the two machines, but after line 22 you see all of the commands that were successfully executed on the Ubuntu machine that weren't on the Arch machine.

I also noticed that Ctrl-s U was mapped, so started tmux on my arch machine and ran Ctrl-s U and received the following message:

'/home/dacre/.tmux/plugins/tpm/scripts/update_plugin_prompt.sh' returned 1

So that key binding works, even is Ctrl-s I does not, although I can confirm that it is mapped to install_plugins.sh on that machine, at least according to the server log.

So I next tried manually running install_plugins.sh and got the following output to stdout/stderr:

usage: run-shell [-b] [-t target-pane] shell-command
/home/dacre/.tmux/plugins/tpm/scripts/shared_functions.sh: line 60: cd: /home/dacre/.tmux/plugins//tmux-sensible/: No such file or directory

and I also got this message from the tmux notification system:

 ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/tpm' returned 1

So at this point I am not sure what else to test. I hope some of this is useful to you.

from tpm.

Ups, I prematurely submitted the above comment. Here are a couple more things to try:

• open ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/scripts/source_plugins.sh script in the editor and try debugging it with echo $variable statements. The script is pretty short with less than 50 lines.
  • Try placing echo $plugin_path at line 16, then run script ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/scripts/source_plugins.sh, what's the output?
  • echo "running $tmux_file" at line 23 and run the script, what's the output?
• also, just to check the basics, what bash version are you running, /usr/bin/env bash --version?

Once again, thanks for the help so far!

Sorry for leaving this issue for more than a year. I honestly have no idea what happened, but the issue is resolved now. I just came back to trying to debug it today and I fiddled with my shell (z-shell) and tmux config and at some point the problem just disappeared. I tried to recreate it by undoing everything that I did but I couldn't, it just works now. My guess is that there was something wrong in my .tmux folder, because that is the only potential issue that I cannot recreate.

Sorry for the anti-climactic end to this issue, but at least it works. Thanks for great software, closing now.

Sorry for commenting on an old issue, but I have exactly the same problem.
Trying to echo the variables gives the following:

1 > ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/scripts/source_plugins.sh
/home/zvandeva/.tmux/plugins//tpm/
/home/zvandeva/.tmux/plugins//tmux-better-mouse-mode/

bash:

1 > bash --version
GNU bash, version 4.1.2(1)-release (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu)

from tpm.

Same issue here, I'm using zsh 5.2 and tmux 2.3 and get the same output as @zegervdv. Tried debugging a bit but still can't find the issue.

@MikeDacre can you remeber what you did when "fiddling" with zsh?

from tpm.

I am having this very issue with my machine(Manjaro). I ran "~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/scripts/install_plugins.sh" source script manually and everything started working as it should. Try this if you are having this problem in 2021.

from tpm.

It appears I've had this problem on Arch Linux. Despite sourcing tpm as in instructions, no plugin was downloaded (and hence none worked) until I had manually ran /usr/share/tmux-plugin-manager/scripts/install_plugins.sh (from AUR) and restarted Tmux.
