I’m using a flake based Home Manager setup on macOS (22.11), and generally things are working really well. However, I am having trouble with fetching plugins from github.
In my tmux.nix (imported into home.nix) I have the following plugin section:
plugins = with pkgs; [
{
plugin = tmuxPlugins.mkTmuxPlugin {
pluginName = "t-smart-tmux-session-manager";
version = "a98dc1e";
src = pkgs.fetchFromGitHub {
owner = "joshmedeski";
repo = "t-smart-tmux-session-manager";
rev = "a98dc1ea64df0d945957362e177a15a4a695de3c";
sha256 = "sha256-PWLl8h6bczLtcNL0cFwaCbq1K/0O3eR0/Z/5wbUuN+Y=";
};
};
}
{
plugin = tmuxPlugins.mkTmuxPlugin {
pluginName = "tmux-fzf-url";
version = "d6435bd";
src = pkgs.fetchFromGitHub {
owner = "joshmedeski";
repo = "tmux-fzf-url";
rev = "d6435bdb24dda5bc68b26605b549f3a63cbded59";
sha256 = "sha256-oMCG3B3aax/thHxruEYLwnD2ulre/E06gKq4hqNHBHc=";
};
};
}
{
plugin = tmuxPlugins.mkTmuxPlugin {
pluginName = "tmux-nerd-font-window-name";
version = "b5948e8";
src = pkgs.fetchFromGitHub {
owner = "joshmedeski";
repo = "tmux-nerd-font-window-name";
rev = "b5948e82c4931cb253282046bb053025441d8c34";
sha256 = "sha256-8Uw6WNHuohq7KFhCq8fS69rLvzYTc/mRf2drvczhC9A=";
};
};
}
{ plugin = tmuxPlugins.vim-tmux-navigator; }
]
That installs the plugins fine in the nix store. If I look at the generated ~/.config/tmux/tmux.conf, the scripts are sourced (this is the just the first plugin for brevity):
# ============================================= #
# Load plugins with Home Manager #
# --------------------------------------------- #
# tmuxplugin-t-smart-tmux-session-manager
# ---------------------
run-shell /nix/store/ij6ynsvczjnrrk2h6y7kass5mlqdl9sp-tmuxplugin-t-smart-tmux-session-manager-a98dc1e/share/tmux-plugins/t-smart-tmux-session-manager/t_smart_tmux_session_manager.tmux
It is not loading in tmux because the filename has the separating dashes replaced with underscores. This is the actual path in nix store:
/nix/store/ij6ynsvczjnrrk2h6y7kass5mlqdl9sp-tmuxplugin-t-smart-tmux-session-manager-a98dc1e/share/tmux-plugins/t-smart-tmux-session-manager/t-smart-tmux-session-manager.tmux
If I manually add a run-shell command with that correct path to the bottom of the extraConfigs section it loads the plugin correctly. All the plugins fetched from github have this problem, whereas vim-tmux-navigator from nix pkgs has the correct path.
What am I doing wrong, and how can I stop the dashes getting replaced and breaking the path?
As a secondary question, I need to add the bin directory of that plugin to my path so that the script works outside of tmux. How do I correctly refer to the path of the bin directory of the plugin in my home.nix?
Thanks for any help you can give!
