1. Start Zellij with a configuration that includes the plugin.
2. Observe the repeated error messages about the plugin with ID 0 not being found.

Environment:

• Operating System: macOS

        children
        pane size=1 borderless=true {
            plugin location="" {
                format_left   "{mode} #[fg=#89B4FA,bold]{session}"

            }
        }
    }
}

Additional context
Nothing more unusual happens but the plugin loads and then reports an error the logs simply say
ERROR |zellij_server::plugins | 2024-06-21 00:16:33.255 [wasm ] [zellij-server/src/plugins/mod.rs:784]: Plugin with id: 0 not found

Hi, the plugin location is empty in your layout. Have you also tried to clean the cache?

[0venBurn]

Hi sorry the plugin path was actually set. I cleared the cache as per the instruction page and still no dice. I also can't install from the web as it returns a empty server error

[dj95]

Can you please try to clear the cache and use the file path to load the plugin, as the https location sometimes bugs out on macOS.

Also which version do you use on zjstatus?

Do you see the permissions prompt? Does it crash before or after it?

Unfortunately I cannot reproduce the issue. I'm using zjstatus and zellij on 2 different MacBooks successfully

Hi I tried all the stuff and reset the cache etc. I was able to get other plugins to work but not this one. Must be something ingrained in my zellij overall setup or .files. I just defaulted to the minimal dock from zellij plugins and seems to be working fine. Sorry for wasting your time and thanks for your help

[dj95]

It would at least be interesting if you get the permissions prompt before the error. Thus I know if it's a zjstatus or a zellij problem. It would be nice, if you could give some details on this one even if you don't want to use zjstatus.

Hi, usually what happens is that the plugin will load for a split second I will see the permissions come up before I get a red bar at the bottom of my page stating error in plugin check logs. It will then be impossible to leave zellij without exiting the terminal application all together. The logs just report the same error with plugin not found.

[dj95]

Thanks for your comment, I then think, that it has something to do within zellij, as the plugin is not fully loaded.

I guess it would work when loaded by file. There is a pretty high chance the cache will be a problem, when you write, that you cannot exit zellij without exiting the terminal. Sorry for your experience with zjstatus, but thanks again for sharing the information.

I'll now close the issue. Feel free to respond in case you have any other questions.
