I installed tmux and tmux-xpanes from the corresponding GitHub-repositories and I get the following error message everytime I run xpane:
xpanes:Warning: 'xpanes' may not work correctly! Please check followings.
* tmux is installed correctly.
* Supported tmux version is installed.
Version 1.8 and over is officially supported.
Here are the versions:
$ xpanes -V
xpanes 4.1.0-beta
$ tmux -V
tmux next-2.9
Hi @ddeimeke
Thanks for using tmux-xpanes with latest version (Wow, 4.1.0-beta !).
This error message is displayed if the installed tmux verison is out of support.
But it seems that xpanes recognizes your tmux version incorrectly.
xpanes checks the result of tmux -V to check whether supported version of tmux is used or not.
But the latest tmux (on master branch) returns the irregular format like next-2.9 and it causes the message.
I have no idea how to avoid the message functionally, because I cannot expect how tmux developers name the version number during their development in the future.
However, tmux-xpanes has the internal parameter to suppress the message.
Here is the workaround.
Workaround
- Install tmux-xpanes v4.1.0 ( v4.1.0 just released by the way ).
- Add this statement to your shell's
~/.*rcfile.
export TMUX_XPANES_TMUX_VERSION=2.9
The warning message will be gone.
Because xpanes recognizes tmux version as 2.9.
This variable is not on the README.md because it's originally used for testing purpose.
Thanks!
