`wezterm cli list` hangs indefinitely from an SSH session

[adamency]

What Operating System(s) are you seeing this problem on?

Linux X11

Which Wayland compositor or X11 Window manager(s) are you using?

i3

WezTerm version

wezterm 20240203-110809-5046fc22

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

I want to know the list of running wezterm windows, tabs and the programs running inside from an SSH session. Unless I misunderstood the functionality of wezterm cli (is it supposed to only work from inside a wezterm window ?), this should work right ? There is one and only one wezterm-gui process running without issues in the system.

To Reproduce

Have an SSH-accessible system with Linux, X headless (with xorg-xf86-dummy) and i3 on it. Run wezterm, open some tabs and then connect via SSH from another machine and run wezterm cli list.

Configuration

default

Expected Behavior

have the command return successfully

Logs

No response

Anything else?

No response

This works for me. I suspect there is something else happening in that environment. It might be interesting to strace the wezterm cli process and see what it is getting stuck on, and/or running WEZTERM_LOG=trace wezterm cli list
