tmuxp pass args to tmux

[JBKahn]

Is there a way (can't find any) to pass an arbitrary arg to tmux? I want to pass -CC but I don't see an easy way to do that and I'm not familiar with the packages you're using so I'm not sure where in the code this would have to be.

I need to know what behavior you're looking to get to be sure.

I believe load_workspace and command_load

I can add a -C and -CC option to pass those arguments after the building is complete and you attach the session. Is that what you're looking for?

This is the integration I'd like to make use of, but it seems somewhat complicated. I don't know if it matters that it launches a new terminal to do this:

[JBKahn]

not necessary, I can just create it with -d then attach and all works.

It would be nice to be able to pass flags to tmux on startup. I would like to use it for iTerm integration like @JBKahn. I think it is reasonable for tmuxp to allow it as one of its purposes is to make it easy to start and use sessions. tmuxp load -d file.yaml && tmux attatch -t session is a bit too long when it could be done like tmuxp -CC load file.yaml for example.

Has anyone got this working?

tmuxp load -d … outputs tmux: unknown option -- d

[tony]

The commands aren't pass-thru at of now, but I think it makes sense for us to use tmux(1)'s args wherever possible

We recently introduced window appending, which overlaps with tmux's -a. I assume since attach is default we're in the clear in that regard

I added a pinned label so the cleanup bot won't close this

Thanks @tony.

I'm fairly new to tmux so still stumbling around in the dark quite a lot.

Thought iTermocil might be better for iTerm but ironically it blows up when using its tmux integration.

Found a comment proposing tmuxinator and a sample config. Can tmuxp be configured similarly, my impression is pass-thru commands would be required or did I misunderstand?

[tony]

I never heard of itermocil - and it's cool you bring it up

I'd need to take a peek at it, but unfortunately I don't have a mac to try it with

And... they use python, kind of interesting why they don't use tmuxp / libtmux.

So if we have a mac user that can test, maybe it'd be possible for an integration to happen

I think in the mean time if you want to use iTerm, you mean want to use teamocil / tmuxinator / etc in the meantime, unless someone else with macOS can step into help us (Any takers?)

I found this thread trying to look for how to launch tmuxp passing argument to it; the way that you could in tmuxinator. But it seems like that is rather ruby-specific.

In the mean time I guess I can just use environment variables.
