SessionX window flashes on my screen when called but disappears literally on the next frame

[johnnguyencodes]

Hello! For some reason, when I bring up SessionX, the window appears for one quick fraction of a second, but immediately goes away, it's like it only just flashes on the screen. About two weeks ago it was working fine, so I wonder if something in the most recent update broke it?

For my sessionx config, i only have the following two lines:

set -g @plugin 'omerxx/tmux-sessionx'
set -g @sessionx-bind 'q'

[rodhash]

Same here, just installed and I see just a flash of what seems to be a tmux pop-up.

I didn't download that custom fzf-tmux script so the only configuration I did is this:
set -g @sessionx-fzf-builtin-tmux 'on'

tmux: tmux 3.5a
fzf: HEAD-0476a65 (brew) which is version 0.57.0
bat: 0.24.0
zoxide: not installed, using Z instead

[Pipo2410]

Hello, same here, the window flickers and goes away. I managed to capture an error it shows.

tmux: 3.5a
fzf: 0.57.0 (brew)
bat: 0.24.0
zoxide: 0.9.6

[UPDATE]: Fixed by updating the bash version as described here: comment #163
Plugin fully worked after restarting the computer.
@johnnguyencodes @rodhash can you try the same?

[hmrc87]

• ghostty terminal & wezterm
• /usr/bin/env bash shows me 5.2
• tmux 3.5a
• fzf 0.57.0 (brew)
• bat 0.24.0
• zoxide 0.9.6

Now it boots up but stays like this and the terminal freezes:

Not sure but I don't see any change.

For me at first I did not see any changes, even after updating the tools. Then I tried out another Terminal and suddenly the behaviour changed in my old terminal. Im still stuck but at least somewhere else :) Maybe it helps us getting to the root of the issue

[UPDATE]: Fixed by updating the bash version
I see the same problem on Mac OS X with wezterm and zsh.

If I kill the terminal and restart tmux it unfreezes, until I open sessionx again.

[johnnguyencodes]

I updated bash but it didn't resolve the issue. What did resolve the issue was installing a specific version of sessionx before the breaking changes were merged.

Thus, I changed

set -g @plugin 'omerxx/tmux-sessionx

to

set -g @plugin 'omerxx/tmux-sessionx#3a1911e

which corresponds to #151 and now it works as expected.

The subsequent merge, #157, broke the plugin for me.

[ralvapil]

set -g @plugin 'omerxx/tmux-sessionx#3a1911e

This seems to fix it for me as well!

[TanishBhandari286]

No Still not working i dont know why

set -g @plugin 'omerxx/tmux-sessionx#3a1911e'
this didnt fix it
can anyone please guide me

[mermutt]

set -g @plugin 'omerxx/tmux-sessionx#3a1911e

This seems to fix it for me as well!

It fixed it for me too.

set -g https://github.com/plugin 'omerxx/tmux-sessionx#3a1911e'
this didnt fix it
can anyone please guide me

I had to downgrade omerxx/tmux-sessionx to hash #3a1911e manually. Could be due to how I use tpm plugin manager. So what I did was - I cd into ~/.tmux/plugins/tmux-sessionx directory, executed git checkout 3a1911e command and restarted tmux.

Same here! Thank you :))

Same for me, I need to checkout version before this change. And its working fine.

I have checked that the commit aef8986 has the issue.

[TC72]

For anyone having this issue on Mac, even though the default shell is zsh these scripts use bash.
If you have homebrew then brew install bash will give you a version that works.

I say works, now I'm stuck with the SessionX window being unresponsive to input.

Weird... for me TPM didn't even installl the sessionx at all while defining this plugin with commit hash, but when I manually deleted sessionx from plugins/ folder and reinstalling again - then it resolved the issue for me :o
