How to use a startup command that is aware of the path

[elpic]

I want to use a script that creates a couple of tmux windows but for that I need to know the path that I assign to the session, and I don't want to write it twice, is there a solution that I can use for that?

sesh.toml

[[session]]
name = "Personal 👨‍💻"
path = "~/workspace/development/personal/"
startup_command = "~/.config/sesh/scripts/node_dev.sh $(pwd)"

node_dev.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash
echo $1
tmux send-keys "nvim +Telescope\ find_files" Enter
tmux new-window -n terminal

Hey @elpic, you can try the new window configuration feature if you'd like:

[[session]]
name = "Personal 👨‍💻"
path = "~/workspace/development/personal/"
windows = [ "nvim", "terminal" ]

[[window]]
name = "nvim"
startup_script = "nvim +Telescope\ find_files"

[[window]]
name = "terminal"
startup_script = "ls"

Hope this helps!

You can use pwd from inside the script, because the script is always ran directly on the session path configured.

This is one of the scripts I use:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
tmux split-window -v -l 10 dev
tmux select-pane -t :.+
tmux send-keys "nvim +GoToFile" Enter

In your example, I don't think pwd is important, simply split and send keys like my example script.

Ok, maybe it's a bug with the version because the path that I'm getting from either the script or on the window is wrong ... I will keep digging, is there a way to see the variables available os something that I can use to debug the issue?

@joshmedeski any news on this?

I'm not sure how to help you debug more. pwd is working when using the startup command.

I recommend joining my Discord server and I can talk with you directly and try to figure it out.
