Hang When Running from Tmux on OS X 10.10 Yosemite

[smackesey]

When I run terminal-notifier from tmux on OS X 10.10 Yosemite, it hangs:

terminal-notifier -message "his name was robert paulson"
# ... hanging

It works fine when running it from outside tmux. This may have something to do with reattach-to-user-namespace. My tmux is configured with this line:

set-option -g default-command "reattach-to-user-namespace -l zsh"

Which was taken from the instructions from this page.

As I said in #106 unfortunately I'm not a tmux user so if someone finds a solution please post it here. My guess is that the issue may lie in reattach-to-user-namespace and yosemite.

In my case, tmux is started through byobu. I'm unsure on what the starting parameters are though. I don't have reattach-to-user-namespace installed, so it shouldn't be that.

Just my two cents, I run Yosemite, tmux, have reattach-to-user-namespace command and it doesn't hang. Did you run bundle update recently?

[daviesgeek]

I'm having the same problem with Yosemite (10.10.0) and tmux (1.9a)
I can confirm that it does work outside of tmux.

I have the same problem, /Applications/terminal-notifier.app/Contents/MacOS/terminal-notifier -message eggs fails under tmux and works fine in a non-tmux terminal

[daviesgeek]

My install is from Homebrew if that makes any difference.

[patrickkettner]

weirdly enough - it is now working for me inside of tmux. Perhaps it was the update to 1.9a?

[smackesey]

It's working for me now too. I updated two things, but I'm not sure which one did the trick:

• tmux is now 1.9a
• reattach-to-user-namespace is 2.3

These are both the most recent versions from homebrew. I realized I had an old reattach-to-user-namespace in a scripts dir at the front of $PATH, probably from some old set of instructions from back before there was a reattach-to-user-namespace homebrew formula. So even though my installation was being updated via homebrew, it was always the old one being used. Anyway anyone still having these issues should make sure they have these most recent versions of both tmux and reattach-to-user-namespace.

Does not work for me. I already had the latest versions:

bessarabov@air:~$ reattach-to-user-namespace --version
reattach-to-user-namespace version 2.3
    Supported OSes: OS X 10.5-10.10
bessarabov@air:~$ tmux -V
tmux 1.9a

I've reinstalled them with brew update; brew reinstall reattach-to-user-namespace; brew reinstall tmux, but it does not help either.

[patrickkettner]

@bessarabov - what version of terminal-notifier are you running? where did you install it from?

[bessarabov]

@patrickkettner I'm using: 1.6.1 installed via brew:

bessarabov@air:~$ terminal-notifier -version | head -1
terminal-notifier (1.6.1) is a command-line tool to send OS X User Notifications.

I see that in this repo is tag 1.6.2, but brew does not know about it:

bessarabov@air:~$ brew update
...
bessarabov@air:~$ brew install terminal-notifier
Error: terminal-notifier-1.6.1 already installed
To install this version, first `brew unlink terminal-notifier'

@bessarabov try a brew upgrade after brew update.
