Not able to restore grunt

[johnnncodes]

Should run grunt using "grunt development"

I'm using this setting in .tmux.conf: set -g @resurrect-processes ':all:'

This is the output in the console when resurrecting:

grunt ARCHFLAGS=-arch i386 -arch x86_64 Apple_PubSub_Socket_Render=/tmp/launch-Ou97Qf/Render
➜ pdm git:(master) ✗ grunt ARCHFLAGS=-arch i386 -arch x86_64 Apple_PubSub_Socket_Render=/tmp/launch-Ou97Qf/Render
Warning: Task "ARCHFLAGS=-arch" not found. Use --force to continue.

Hi, thanks for reporting the issue. This is a bug and I don't know how to handle it for now.

To clarify:

1. this is the command you run: grunt development
2. when saving tmux environment, this is saved: grunt ARCHFLAGS=-arch i386 -arch x86_64 Apple_PubSub_Socket_Render=/tmp/launch-Ou97Qf/Render

Weird env variables ARCHFLAGS and Apple_PubSub... are fine, we could remove them.
Unfortunately I don't see the word development in there, so that information is lost and can't be restored.

Thinking about other solutions to handle this, we could have a user option like this:

set -g @some-tmux-option "grunt->grunt development"

The above states: to restore grunt, the command to restore it is grunt development.
Would having that feature help?

Hi @bruno- , yes I think having that feature would help. Anyway, I thought a feature that is almost similar to that already exists? I saw this in the docs:

set -g @resurrect-processes 'some_program "git log"'

and

set -g @resurrect-processes 'irb pry "~rails server" "~rails console"'

I also tried them btw but it didn't solved the issue. There was no output unlike the setting I used on my 1st comment - #32 (comment)

set -g @resurrect-processes '"grunt development"'

and

set -g @resurrect-processes '"~grunt development"'

Yea, those features are similar, but not really what we need here.

Okay, I'll work on a feature that will hopefully help with this and then let you know.

[bruno-]

Hi, this feature should now be implemented.
So you can:

• update the plugin (prefix + U if you have tpm installed)

• set the following option (pls take care of quoting, single quotes outside, double quotes "inside"):

   set -g @resurrect-processes '"grunt->grunt development"'
  

Now, when grunt program is restored, the plugin will invoke grunt development command.

Let me know if it works!

Have you tried save/restore the whole command instead of the process? Grunt is a bad example because it eats up the arguments. git log develop -20 gets restarted as git log instead. When you use the command you can restore the exact thing you started before. You get the command by ps --pid $pane_pid -o cmd. For grunt, someone can easily use a simple wrapper script, e.g.:

#! /bin/sh

grunt $*

I just tested the command git log master -20 command and it got both saved and restored properly with all the arguments.

I'd love to improve the "process" for saving commands! Currently this is pretty isolated in this function here. I encourage you to submit a pull request that improves on that. Also feel free to ask related questions if there's any.

@bruno- For some reason, it still doesn't work. Here's the contents of ~/.tmux/resurrect/last:

pane    0   0   :node   1   :*  0   :/Users/johnkevinmbasco/Vagrant/salt_basic/bitlock-angular  1   node    :grunt ARCHFLAGS=-arch i386 -arch x86_64 Apple_PubSub_Socket_Render=/tmp/launch-RoJZ9c/Render
window  0   0   1   :*  c8bd,156x37,0,0,0
state   0

Here's my tmux.conf:

# List of plugins
# Supports `github_username/repo` or full git URLs
set -g @tpm_plugins "              \
  tmux-plugins/tpm                 \
  tmux-plugins/tmux-sensible       \
  tmux-plugins/tmux-resurrect      \
"
set -g @resurrect-processes '"grunt->grunt development"'

# initializes TMUX plugin manager
run-shell ~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/tpm

setw -g mode-keys vi

bind-key -t vi-copy v begin-selection
bind-key -t vi-copy y copy-pipe "reattach-to-user-namespace pbcopy"

unbind -t vi-copy Enter
bind-key -t vi-copy Enter copy-pipe "reattach-to-user-namespace pbcopy"

set -g default-terminal "xterm"

I just tested the command git log master -20 command and it got both saved and restored properly with all the arguments.

It doesn't work here :( I created a new issue #43

@basco-johnkevin thanks for the patience with this.
Your .tmux.conf looks fine.
I tested restoring the state with the content of ~/.tmux/resurrect/last you provided and grunt also wasn't restoring for me!

After a while, I realized what's the problem:

• when you kill tmux server and start it again, tmux opens session 0 with window 0 by default
• now when you try to restore saved environment, tmux-restore will not restore session 0 and window 0 because it is already created! It also won't restore programs in that window - and this is why 'grunt' is not restored.

The above is actually considered to be a feature that makes tmux-resurrect idempotent. You can hit "tmux restore key" multiple times in the same tmux session, but the restore will happen only the first time.

Here are the steps to solve the problem and test if grunt is restoring properly:

• run grunt program in any pane except in 'session 0/window 0'
• save tmux environment
• kill tmux
• start tmux and restore the last environment

Hopefully it works for you now!

Any updates on this @basco-johnkevin ?
It should work now!

Hey guys, I'm doing a small issues cleanup. This feature seems to work now, please reopen or report again if you find any issues.
