VimuxRunCommand does not open pane
I am trying to run :call VimuxRunCommand("ls") and a pane does not open and I do not get an error message I am running tmux 1.6 on Ubuntu Server 12.04
I'm also having the same problem using Mac OS X 10.9.2 with tmux version 1.8 and Vim 7.4
My entire dotfile set-up is here: https://github.com/Integralist/Fresh-Install/tree/master/Shell
Below are some further details...

I am having the same issues as above. I run the commands, but the separate window does not open up.
I am on Mac OSX Mavericks, vim 7.4, tmux 1.8, rbenv (ruby 2.1.0)
Same here on Mac OSX Mavericks, 7.3, tmux 1.9a, rvm 1.25.25, ruby 2.0.0
I have the plugin installed via Vundler
On a side note, I'm currently producing a book about Vim for Apress and I would love to see this plugin working properly so I could include it in my book.
@Integralist are you just installing the default vim packaged with homebrew? I'm having a very hard time reproducing this (I've reinstalled vim and tmux via homebrew and also used head of vimux). I see in your dotfiles that you're using pathogen (I am as well[1]), but I don't see how you manage all your bundle folder, can you point me to it?
[1] https://github.com/benmills/dotfiles/tree/master/vim/bundle
@benmills that's correct. I've simply used brew install vim --override-system-vim to install Vim.
I have two provisioning scripts that download the relevant plugins into the bundle directory:
https://github.com/Integralist/Fresh-Install/blob/master/provision-complete.sh#L28-L70
Although you'll notice Vimux is no longer inside that provisioning script since it didn't appear to work for me. But I followed the standard installation instructions to git clone into my bundle directory.
I've shared a link of the vimux folder which is inside my bundle folder on my computer https://www.dropbox.com/s/o5hf4wguwmqs9hq/vimux.zip (note: I zipped it a copy of the folder) so you can see if anything in there looks odd.
Also be aware that I symlink my dotfiles into my Dropbox folder.
For example...
lrwxr-xr-x 1 markmcdonnell staff 53 1 Feb 20:55 .vim -> /Users/markmcdonnell/Dropbox/Fresh Install/Shell/.vim
lrwxr-xr-x 1 markmcdonnell staff 55 1 Feb 20:55 .vimrc -> /Users/markmcdonnell/Dropbox/Fresh Install/Shell/.vimrc
So ~/.vim/bundle/vimux really points to ~/Dropbox/Fresh Install/Shell/.vim/bundle/vimux
@benmills hey I figured out what I was doing wrong and it was both stupid (I didn't read the README properly) and sadly disappointing as it meant Vimux doesn't do what I had hoped it would do (but that's OK because what I wanted was unrealistic anyway).
So, I didn't realise that I needed to be running Vim from inside tmux. That was the actual resolution to my problem of why the command didn't work.
The disappointment I spoke about was because of that same resolution. I was hoping there was some magic that would let me take a pre-existing Vim window and attach it to tmux some how. The reason I wanted this, is that when I pair programme with someone remotely I usually have my Vim all set-up in a specific state and so when we pair using something like tmate.io we have to open a fresh Vim instance. I was hoping Vimux might have had some magic for handling that. Nevermind though, you can't have everything :-)
On a side note: I'm going to investigate how well Vim sessions work to make the pair programming scenario easier.
I already use Tim Pope's tbone plugin which does similar things to Vimux so I guess I'll stick with that for now (not that I use it much).
Apologies for wasting your time Ben, getting you to look into a non existent problem (just my own stupidity for not reading the README properly).
I assume @corelon made the same mistake?
OK I just updated that previous comment to have a million less typos in it :-/
I can't reproduce this. @corelon are you experiencing the same issue? If not please close this issue.
I started using vimux today and ran into this problem. I am running vim within tmux and it sill doenst work. Interestingly it only happens on a machine that is part of some shared infra.
I debugged this further and see that the failure seems to be in the function _VimuxNearestIndex within vimux.vim. When I run :echom system("tmux list-panes"), that too hangs from vim. Any idea why this is happening?
Have you guys tried using MacVim? I can't use:
:call VimuxSendText('echo whatever') it just doesn't appear in the tmux window.
Using :VimuxRunCommand works however. But I don't want a split since MacVim is one GUI and have to run tmux besides.
Using :VimuxTogglePane it also errors out.
Error detected while processing function VimuxTogglePane[6].._VimuxTmux:
line 2:
E484: Can't open file /var/folders/_m/2_2m6b0j34n6g3r5qbdv6b480000gn/T/vgmSOPP/56
If I'm reading this correctly it should be this line 2 in VimuxTogglePane https://github.com/benmills/vimux/blob/master/plugin/vimux.vim#L95 But it's probably the next line where it calls _VimuxTmux.
I don't know if this could be a Vim-issue. But I'm happy to take a look at it later.
I'm opening a separate issue for this.
Console vim (mvim -v for MacVim) works with :VimuxTogglePane but GUI doesn't.
@dezza See #160 for my MacVIM comments.
Everyone else: Is anybody still seeing this issue? I'm not on a Mac and am unsure if there is anything here that still needs to be tracked down or if this has become a moot issue. Any feedback?
