Dispatch works in iTerm, but not in tmux

Open digitalronin opened this issue 12 years ago • 2 comments

Hi there

I'm having trouble getting dispatch to work under tmux (tmux 1.8, inside iTerm2 Build 1.0.0.20131116, on a Mac running OSX Mavericks).

If I use iTerm without tmux, and launch vim, then ":Start irb" opens a new iTerm tab with irb running in it.

But, if I start tmux (within the iterm window), and launch vim, then ":Start irb" doesn't seem to work. The status line shows ":!irb (tmux)" but the process is not running, according to ps, and no new tmux split or window is opened.

Can anyone give me an idea of how to try and debug this?

What does your /etc/paths look like, and how/where have you installed ruby?

Yeah a path issue seems likely. Does it work with other commands e.g. :Start bash?
