When doing `wezterm start` with `--config-file`, window opens behind main window
What Operating System(s) are you seeing this problem on?
macOS
Which Wayland compositor or X11 Window manager(s) are you using?
No response
WezTerm version
20240226-174525-22424c32
Did you try the latest nightly build to see if the issue is better (or worse!) than your current version?
Yes, and I updated the version box above to show the version of the nightly that I tried
Describe the bug
For the command:
wezterm --config-file ~/wt-empty.lua start -- bash
The first time it is run, it works perfectly. The second time it is run two things happen. First the new window opens behind the main window (I only have one window open before running the command). Second, the wezterm command does not exit until the window closes.
To Reproduce
Run the command above two times. First time works as expected.
Configuration
The contents of ~/wt-empty.lua are:
return {}
Expected Behavior
The new window to always be the front most window and for the command to exit immediately after the window is created.
Logs
The follow log always appears in the current window where the above command is run:
2024-03-01 18:35:34.853 wezterm-gui[38297:1274659] WARNING: Secure coding is not enabled for restorable state! Enable secure coding by implementing NSApplicationDelegate.applicationSupportsSecureRestorableState: and returning YES.
Anything else?
I originally opened the following bug, but have realized that the bug was incorrectly described. I have closed that bug. https://github.com/wez/wezterm/issues/5084
While I show recreating the bug by issuing a command in a current wezterm terminal window, the use case will be that the command is issued from another process (hammerspoon) and is not to run another bash instance but to run a terminal file manager (yazi is the one I'm trying).
I've tried starting with WEZTERM_LOG=wezterm_gui=debug,warning wezterm.... There was nothing interesting in the logs. Would other logging params be more useful?
echo, running wezterm start creates and focuses window, running weztern --config-file "wezterm.lua" start won't focus, and trying to focus via the gui-startup event trigger also seems to be not working:
wezterm.on('gui-startup', function(cmd)
local _, _, window = mux.spawn_window(cmd or {})
window:gui_window():focus()
window:set_title("popup")
end)
Where as calling :maximize() instead of :focus() does seem to work as expected
Seeing the same issue, with both wezterm-gui and wezterm. Tried various flags like --always-new-process to see if it's that, but can't get it to focus.
What's interesting is that via the built-in Terminal, open /Applications/WezTerm.app also doesn't show focus, but using Alfred 5 (launcher app) it does show focus.

Using osascript -e "tell application \"WezTerm\" to activate", when a single WezTerm application is open will sometimes work on the first attempt, but seems consistent on the second.
Infact, adding another window:gui_window():focus() shows Wezterm above everything else, but the current app is still in focus.
For me, this also happen when launching with wezterm start --new-tab --cwd ~/dev, it doesn't bring the terminal window to focus.
