Problem using pipe-pane
Hi,
I seem to be having some trouble understanding how pipe-pane should
work. It seems like it will only capture output if the pane is
currently selected by a client? So the following doesn't work (also
attached as a script):
#!/bin/bash
session="scenario1"
rm /tmp/wait
tmux new-session -d -s $session
tmux new-window -t ${session}:1 -n 'consumer'
tmux pipe-pane -t ${session}:consumer.0 'cat > /tmp/wait'
sleep 1
tmux send-keys -t ${session}:consumer "echo build" C-m
sleep 5
tmux pipe-pane -o -t ${session}:consumer.0
cat /tmp/wait
Instead I expect the cat /tmp/wait to output "build" and then my prompt.
What am I missing? Maybe there's a better way to capture the contents
of a window?
By the way, I really enjoy tmux, and scripting it is really enjoyable.
Thanks,
Jason

Re: Problem using pipe-pane
Yes it looks like I missed that .0. But for some reason :consumer.0
isn't working for me for send-keys so I've changed all the commands to
use the index of the window instead of the name.
When I run the script this is the output I get:
$ ./test.sh
rm: cannot remove `/tmp/wait': No such file or directory
cat: /tmp/wait: No such file or directory
Here is the updated script:
#!/bin/bash
session="scenario1"
rm /tmp/wait
tmux new-session -d -s $session
tmux new-window -t ${session}:1 -n 'consumer'
tmux pipe-pane -t ${session}:1.0 'cat > /tmp/wait'
sleep 1
tmux send-keys -t ${session}:1.0 "echo build" C-m
sleep 2
tmux pipe-pane -o -t ${session}:1.0
cat /tmp/wait

Re: Log entire session with pipe-pane? Examples please.
Hi Jesse, I think this is a bug of tmux where pipe-pane only works inside of a tmux client. See my initial report on the mailing list: http://www.mail-archive.com/tmux-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg01883.html And Nicholas' response with a patch: http://www.mail-archive.com/tmux-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg01886.html Unfortunately I never got around to testing the patch (mostly because of me being lazy and not wanting to learn cvs). I'm not sure if this patch has been included in any tmux releases or source control.
