Restores wrong PWD when it's a symbolic link

Open rpatterson opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

If the current directory of a shell is a symbolic link to the real directory, the shell prompt, $ pwd, and $ echo $PWD all show the path to the symbolic link. If I type prefix + Ctrl-s, close the shell and thus the tmux window, and type prefix + Ctrl-r, then the shell prompt, $ pwd, and $ echo $PWD now show the path to the target of that symlink. It would be nice if it preserved the same path on restore instead.

Versions:

$ tmux -V
tmux 3.2a
$ (cd ~/.tmux/plugins/tmux-resurrect/ && git log -n 1)

Bit of a nitpick, I know. Not that you need my permission but feel free to close as Won't fix, I just wanted to capture this behavior somewhere. If someone ends up tacking a fix for this, LMK if I can help.
