Bug Description When installing a plugin that has a folder with a symlink to another folder on the same repository but outside the plugin's folder the symbolic link is not being created in the cache folder, breaking functionality. This was working previously and is documented as the recommended way to have a common component for many plugins.

Environment Info

  • Platform: darwin
  • Terminal: tmux
  • Version: 2.1.119
  • Feedback ID: f85a68cb-e099-4107-a586-62a83a8ad464

extent analysis

TL;DR

The issue can likely be resolved by adjusting the plugin installation process to properly handle symbolic links when caching the plugin folder.

Guidance

  • Verify that the symbolic link is correctly created in the original plugin repository by checking the file system.
  • Investigate the plugin installation script or process to ensure it is configured to preserve symbolic links when copying files to the cache folder.
  • Check the cache folder's file system permissions to ensure that the process creating the cache has the necessary permissions to create symbolic links.
  • Review the documentation for the plugin installation process to ensure that it is up-to-date and accurately reflects the current behavior.

Notes

The issue may be related to changes in the plugin installation process or the underlying file system behavior, which could be specific to the darwin platform or the tmux terminal.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Adjust the plugin installation process to properly handle symbolic links, as the root cause of the issue is likely related to this process rather than a version-specific bug that can be fixed by upgrading.
