Tmux notifier modifies color_location for all tmux sessions

[kaldrenon]

I regularly have multiple tmux sessions at one time (usually one for each repo), and guard's tmux settings are updating the status-left-bg (my setting for color_location) for every session when test runs complete.

I'd like them to only update the color_location for the session that guard is currently in.

Is there a way to do this currently? If not, I'm requesting that it be added.

Here's my config for tmux in guard right now:

  notification :tmux,
    display_message: true,
    timeout: 5, # in seconds
    default_message_format: '%s >> %s',
    success_message_format: 'PASSED -> %s >> %s',
    failed_message_format:  'FAILED -> %s >> %s',
    line_separator: ' > ', # since we are single line we need a separator
    color_location: 'status-left-bg', # to customize which tmux element will change color

    # Other options:
    default_message_color: 'black',
    success: 'colour150',
    failure: 'colour174',
    pending: 'colour179',

    # Notify on all tmux clients
    display_on_all_clients: false

If you run guard with the '-d' option, it should show you all the tmux commands run.

This feature would be implemented in the Notiffany project - and for properly linking it's best to post an issue there, but I don't mind.

Notiffany source code for TMux is here:

https://github.com/guard/notiffany/blob/master/lib/notiffany/notifier/tmux.rb#L72

As you can see, it uses TMux's display-message for the notification - and regarding the color_location, it uses TMux's set-option command here:

https://github.com/guard/notiffany/blob/master/lib/notiffany/notifier/tmux.rb#L64

As you can see, it sets the '-t' option for set-option using the client parameter - it may just be a matter of adding a display_on_all_sessions option (I don't have a better idea for anything more specific ATM).

I can't look further into this, but if you tell me what tmux commands you expect (vs the current ones appearing) I could create a patch.

Thanks for the feedback! I will take a look at the code and see if I can PR
a patch for the desired behavior.

I'm closing this since it's handled in guard/notiffany#16 now.
