[Bug]: Pinned buffers don't persist across sessions

[mokafolio]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

What happened?

When saving a session with pinned buffers, they are not restored when reloading the session.

What did you expect to happen?

I'd expect the pinned buffers to still be pinned after reloading the session.

Config

require("bufferline").setup({
    options = {
        show_close_icon = true,
        diagnostics = "nvim_lsp",
        always_show_bufferline = false,
        separator_style = "thick",
        offsets = {
            {
                filetype = "neo-tree",
                text = "Neo Tree",
                highlight = "Directory",
                text_align = "left"
            }
        }
    }
})

Additional Information

I can see that there is code to persist and restore pinned buffers insider groups.lua . I am not quite sure why it does not work or if there is a setting I am missing. I am using mini.sessions to save and reload (global) sessions. It internally just uses :mksession. Thank you!

@mokafolio do your session options include globals?

[mokafolio]

Amazing, that fixed it, I was not aware of sessionoptions. Thank you!

Hey,
where do I add set sessionoptions += globals ?
I have added this command in my init.lua but pinned buffers are still not being saved.
Can you help me ?

[mokafolio]

this is what my sessionoptions look like: vim.opt.sessionoptions = { "buffers", "curdir", "tabpages", "winsize", "globals", "folds", "terminal", "help" }

Thanks for the reply, still didnt work. I pinned but after restarting nvim, its blank again. you mentioned groups.lua, where and what do you have in groups.lua?

[mokafolio]

groups.lua is part of the library source that I was referencing, nothing to do there. You might be setting your options in the wrong place/time.

I am setting them in lua/options/init.lua
and require(options) before require(bufferline).

do tabs save at all are only pinned tabs not working? How are you saving your sessions? Are you positive the sessions are actually properly saved?

I was facing the same problem, but I fixed it by starting bufferline before my session plugin.

lazy.vim:

{
  "olimorris/persisted.nvim",
  dependencies = {
    "akinsho/bufferline.nvim", -- <------ important ------
  },
  event = "VeryLazy",
  opts = {
    autoload = true,
  },
}
