Emacsclient fails with errormessage
What Operating System(s) are you seeing this problem on?
Linux X11
Which Wayland compositor or X11 Window manager(s) are you using?
I always have an Emacs GUI running, but if I want to do a quick edit on a file I like to use emacsclient in the terminal. However this fails in WezTerm, which is my standard terminal always running:
$ emacsclient -nw README.md
emacsclient: could not get terminal name
$
Emacs then proceeds to open another Emacs GUI.
I have tried exactly the same on all other terminal emulators I have installed (Alacritty, Kitty, Gnome Terminal, Tilix) and none of them have a problem opening the file in terminal mode.
I CAN open Emacs (not client mode) terminal mode using the -nw
(or --no-window
) switch.
- My Emacs version is 29.3
- I am running the Flatpak version of WezTerm.
WezTerm version
Flatpak 20240203-110809-5046fc22
Did you try the latest nightly build to see if the issue is better (or worse!) than your current version?
