Here's the list of issues users had with `tpm`:

- Do you have required `tmux` version to run `tpm`?<br/>
|
|
Check `tmux` version with `$ tmux -V` command and make sure it's higher or
|
|
equal to the required version for `tpm` as stated in the readme.
|
|
|
|
- ZSH tmux plugin might be causing issues.<br/>
|
|
If you have it installed, try disabling it and see if `tpm` works then.

`tpm` has a known issue when using custom config file with `-f` option.
|
|
The solution is to use alternative plugin definition syntax. Here are the steps
|
|
to make it work:
|
|
|
|
1. remove all `set -g @plugin` lines from tmux config file
|
|
2. in the config file define the plugins in the following way:
|
|
|
|
# List of plugins
|
|
set -g @tpm_plugins ' \
|
|
tmux-plugins/tpm \
|
|
tmux-plugins/tmux-sensible \
|
|
tmux-plugins/tmux-resurrect \
|
|
'
|
|
|
|
# Initialize TMUX plugin manager (keep this line at the very bottom of tmux.conf)
|
|
run '~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/tpm'
|
|
|
|
3. Reload TMUX environment so TPM is sourced: `$ tmux source /path/to/my_tmux.conf`
|
|
|
|
The plugins should now be working.

|
- This could be caused by [tmuxline.vim](https://github.com/edkolev/tmuxline.vim)
|
|
plugin. Uninstall it and see if things work.

- Make sure `tmux source ~/.tmux.conf` command is ran from inside `tmux`.

|
This issue is most likely caused by Windows line endings. For example, if you
|
|
have git's `core.autocrlf` option set to `true`, git will automatically convert
|
|
all the files to Windows line endings which might cause a problem.
|
|
|
|
The solution is to convert all line ending to Unix newline characters. This
|
|
command handles that for all files under `.tmux/` dir (skips `.git`
|
|
subdirectories):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
find ~/.tmux -type d -name '.git*' -prune -o -type f -print0 | xargs -0 dos2unix
|
|
```

This problem is because tmux's `run-shell` command runs a shell which doesn't read from user configs, thus tmux installed in `/usr/local/bin` will not be found.
|
|
|
|
The solution is to insert the following line:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
set-environment -g PATH "/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
before any `run-shell`/`run` commands in `~/.tmux.conf`.
