TPM not loading plugins #146

I am not sure what went wrong. I just turned off my Mac yesterday and today I log in and none of the TPM plugins work. I do <prefix> U and it says they're all updated. But I do <prefix> | and no pane is created.

I do <prefix> % and we got a pane which leads me to think the plugins are not working.

My custom theme is working, so the .tmux.conf is loaded properly

How can I debug what's wrong? this is urgent, my whole working environment is tmux, I can't use anything else :(

It turns out the problem was that for some reason my gawk fucked up and didn't work. Now I don't really use gawk a lot, maybe once every couple of months.

I just did a brew uninstall gawk and brew install gawk and it now works.

Can we add to the README that it depends on gawk, so that people can debug that faster?

TPM won't load and crash silently if `gawk` is installed but is not
working.

Fixes tmux-plugins#146

I also got the same problem. I just typed the brew reinstall gawk and all done!
It's a question about the gawk's incorrect dependency on readline as the gawk's issue #29919.

I'm bumping on this problem once again. Gawk didn't fix it this time.
