Restoring workspace into current window

[SamLarenN]

Is it possible to restore the workspace into the current window instead of opening a separate window?
It would be nice to open a workspace as a workspace accessible in the workspace list in Wezterm. This would keep the rest of the workspaces available as well.

You should be able to restore within your current window by passing in the following as opts:

            resurrect.window_state.restore_window(pane:window(), state, {
              relative = true,
              restore_text = true,
              on_pane_restore = resurrect.tab_state.default_on_pane_restore,
              -- the following line should use active tab when restoring
              tab = win:active_tab(),
            })

Im having the same issue. setting

tab = win:active_tab()

had no effect, the workspace still opened in a new window.

I've also tried:

window = win:mux_window(),

This works, but the first tab always reset it's CWD. Like if I had NVIM open to .dotfiles in that tab, it will still have nvim open, but the CWD will my default cwd.

Any solution?

@travisjbeck have you configure OSC 7 integration with Wezterm? This might be why the new tab is not opening in the expected directory. See Wezterm docs - Shell Integration.

I just set this up by copying the shell integration script and sourcing it at the end of my .zshrc, and with the same config mentioned above my cwd in the first tab of my saved workspace is still getting set to the default. Not sure how to troubleshoot this on my end

Strange, what platform are you on? Mac, Windows using a local domain? Windows using WSL-domain? Linux? Unix socket?
Any information about the platform would be a great help! 😄

Also have you tried updating the plugin? You can do so with the documentation which is described here

[Snejj]

Thanks for the quick response! This is on Mac using a local domain. The plugin is up to date but no luck 😕

Thanks for a very useful plugin @MLFlexer . I'd like to add to this thread by mentioning that the new workspace takes on whatever directory the window/pane/tab was in, when you resurrect the workspace. I am currently also trying to configure this behaviour as my own preference as well, i.e. resurrect the CWD that was saved with the workspace originally. I'm on MacOS.

I did not have that initially, but after adding it, the first tab still loses the CWD. I'm on Mac 15.1.1

I also updated the plugin.

Thanks for the kind words!

And thank you for looking into this, I don't really use this feature myself, so it is great to have information like this.

I will try and work on this in the following days, my life has been really busy lately, so I havn't had much time to work on it 😄

Thanks for keeping me updated, I think I have an idea of a fix, and will work on this in the following days

[MLFlexer]

Update the plugin and checkout the new readme section if you want to be able to restore into the current window 😄

Also please report all bugs you find related to this, as I am not myself a user of this feature, so I don't know if there are bugs

[travisjbeck]

Thanks for the update. Unfortunately, I still have the same issue with the first tab. I tried what you had in the readme, but my config is workspace based, i believe. My dotfiles are here if you want to take a look at my configuration.
