tpm not downloading additional plugins from tmux.conf.local

[Clumsy-Coder]

TPM doesn't seem to download tmux plugins when their defined in tmux.conf.local

commands run

rm -rf ~/.local/share/tmux ~/.config/tmux ~/.config/oh-my-tmux
git clone https://github.com/gpakosz/.tmux.git ~/.config/oh-my-tmux
mkdir -p ~/.config/tmux
ln -s ~/.config/oh-my-tmux/.tmux.conf ~/.config/tmux/tmux.conf
cp ~/dotfiles/tools/tmux/tmux.conf ~/.config/tmux/tmux.conf.local

Not sure what am I missing

Hello @Clumsy-Coder,

Oh my tmux! doesn't support sourcing yet another configuration file from the .local customization file.

[gpakosz]

source-file [-Fnqv] path ...
              (alias: source)
        Execute commands from one or more files specified by path (which may be glob(7) patterns).  If -F is present, then path is expanded as a format.  If -q is given, no error will be returned if path
        does not exist.  With -n, the file is parsed but no commands are executed.  -v shows the parsed commands and line numbers if possible.

It's not trivial to support glob patterns in path, as well as the different options.

Hello, I got the same issue, my plugins definition (for installation) is under user customizations section, however whenever I try to update/install new plugins I get the error of: "GitHub doesn't seem to be reachable, skipping installing and/or updating tpm and plugins...".

My tmux.conf.local is a symbolic link to my dotfiles configuration, although I don't see how this would be a problem.

Can anyone suggest any hints on how to resolve this?
Cheers

This is definitely a problem, I have a similar setup, where .tmux.conf.local and tmux-fingers wasn't working at all. I fixed it by copying the file instead of linking it. A hard link would probably also make it work
