The previous body called self.cmd("send-keys", r"-R \; clear-history") which sends a single argv to tmux via subprocess. tmux's \; is the *interactive* command separator and is only interpreted when tmux re-lexes a full command line — argv never gets re-parsed. tmux saw "-R \; clear-history" as a single token after -R and treated "\; clear-history" as literal keys to send, never executing clear-history. The scrollback was never cleared. what: - Split reset() into two separate self.cmd("send-keys", "-R") and self.cmd("clear-history") calls. Each goes through Pane.cmd which auto- injects -t , so both target the right pane. - Update docstring (uses r""" because of the literal \; explanation), with a working doctest that populates history and verifies reset. - Test in tests/test_pane.py: spawn a shell pane, populate scrollback with "reset_marker_*" lines, call pane.reset(), assert the markers are gone from capture_pane(start=-100).

The previous positional-required signature is preserved for every existing caller (they pass cmd as a string). - When cmd is None and copy_mode_cmd is None: emit `send-keys ` with no trailing argv. Require at least one flag (reset, repeat, copy_mode_cmd); ValueError otherwise so degenerate `send_keys()` calls aren't silent no-ops. - Skip the post-call self.enter() in flag-only mode (no keys → no Enter). - Doctest demonstrates `pane.send_keys(reset=True)` working in flag-only mode. - Tests use monkeypatch+stub of pane.cmd (the pattern from test_server.py:730) to capture the exact argv: flag-only reset emits `("send-keys", "-R")`, flag-only repeat=3 emits `("send-keys", "-R", "-N", "3")`.

Note: `list_panes()` / `list_windows()` / `list_sessions()` are already defined as deprecated raise-only stubs (since 0.17) with pinned legacy-API tests in `tests/legacy_api/`. Keep those intact and add the new methods under `search_*()` — matches the verb libtmux-mcp uses for its consuming endpoint and side-steps the legacy contract entirely. what: - Extend `fetch_objs` (neo.py:248) with `filter: str | None = None`. When set, append `-f ` before the `-F` template. Single change feeds all the wrappers below. - Add `Server.search_sessions`, `Server.search_windows`, `Server.search_panes` alongside the existing `sessions`/`windows`/`panes` properties. - Add `Session.search_windows`, `Session.search_panes`. - Add `Window.search_panes`. - Each wrapper exposes a single `filter=` kwarg; the existing property is the no-filter form.

Pre-0.56 the MCP built `f"tmux {subcommand} failed: ..."` manually. Split into two commits per planning direction: * 8a (this commit): add the surface — LibTmuxException.subcommand attribute and raise_if_stderr helper. Backward-compatible; no call-site changes yet. * 8b (next commit): mechanically migrate the ~12 existing raise sites to use raise_if_stderr. what: - LibTmuxException.__init__ accepts subcommand: str | None = None kwarg. Override __str__ to format as ": " when set; otherwise preserves pre-0.57 output exactly. Verified backward-compat with a test that constructs exc with no kwarg and asserts no "subcommand:" prefix. - common.raise_if_stderr(proc, subcommand) consolidates the `if proc.stderr: raise exc.LibTmuxException(...)` pattern. common.py already imports `exc`, so no new import. Documented with versionadded marker and a working doctest. - Tests in tests/test_common.py cover both: the no-stderr no-op path (using session fixture for a started server) and the raises-with-tag path via list-clients against a fake session id. refs #670 (gap #8, part 1 of 2) --- src/libtmux/common.py | 35 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/libtmux/exc.py | 29 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++- tests/test_common.py | 44 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 107 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/src/libtmux/common.py b/src/libtmux/common.py index 69f077b99..8113adc49 100644 --- a/src/libtmux/common.py +++ b/src/libtmux/common.py @@ -241,6 +241,41 @@ def getenv(self, name: str) -> str | bool | None: return opts_dict.get(name) +def raise_if_stderr(proc: tmux_cmd, subcommand: str) -> None: + """Raise :exc:`LibTmuxException` tagged with the tmux subcommand on stderr. + + Centralizes the ``if proc.stderr: raise exc.LibTmuxException(proc.stderr)`` + pattern scattered across the wrappers.

With 8a's surface in place (LibTmuxException.subcommand + raise_if_stderr helper), this commit applies the migration so every typed wrapper now produces an exception tagged with the originating tmux subcommand. what: - Replace every `if proc.stderr: raise exc.LibTmuxException(proc.stderr)` pair with `raise_if_stderr(proc, "")` across the wrapper surface: server.py (34 sites), session.py (11), window.py (14), pane.py (22). Plus one explicit site in neo.py for fetch_objs's underlying tmux_cmd invocation. - Migration was scripted with subcommand auto-extraction from the preceding `proc = …cmd("subcmd", …)` line; two unmapped sites (window.py's select_layout, neo.py's fetch_objs) migrated by hand. - Add raise_if_stderr import to every touched module via ruff isort. - New integration test in tests/test_session.py exercises the end-to-end tag: session.last_window() on a one-window session raises an exception with subcommand == "last-window" and str(exc) prefixed accordingly. Pre-commit gate's 1130-test full pytest run caught no `match=` regex regression — the new ": …" prefix didn't break any existing exception assertion.

Server.cmd auto-injects -t when the target= kwarg is set. A caller's own positional -t produces `tmux -t %1 -t %1`; tmux's args_get() applies last-wins so the positional -t is silently dropped. The 0.34 docstring at session.py:234 already documents this contract as ignored; this commit promotes the documented contract into a runtime DeprecationWarning so callers see the bug instead of getting silent no-ops. what: - Server.cmd: when target is not None and "-t" appears in *args, emit DeprecationWarning with stacklevel=3 so the warning surfaces at the caller (not the wrapper). - Migrate tests/test_common.py:51 to use target= kwarg (the modern path). - tests/legacy_api/test_common.py:204 now wraps the legacy call with pytest.warns(DeprecationWarning) to pin the new contract. - New tests in tests/test_server.py exercise both the warning fires (legacy shape) and the no-warning case (target= alone). - MIGRATION entry under "Upcoming Release" documents the deprecation, the migration path (target= kwarg), and the planned TypeError escalation. refs #670 (gap #9) --- MIGRATION | 24 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/libtmux/server.py | 19 +++++++++++++++++++ tests/legacy_api/test_common.py | 11 +++++++++-- tests/test_common.py | 6 ++---- tests/test_server.py | 20 ++++++++++++++++++++ 5 files changed, 74 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/MIGRATION b/MIGRATION index 123b0cdcf..60644835c 100644 --- a/MIGRATION +++ b/MIGRATION @@ -113,6 +113,30 @@ _Detailed migration steps for the next version will be posted here._ +### Passing ``-t`` to ``Object.cmd()`` is deprecated + +{meth}`Server.cmd`, {meth}`Session.cmd`, {meth}`Window.cmd`, and {meth}`Pane.cmd` +auto-inject ``-t `` to bind the call to the object's id.

Commit b1f21132 added window_zoomed_flag specifically; this commit covers the remaining 36 so the typed dataclass surface matches what tmux exposes. what: - src/libtmux/neo.py: add 13 pane_* (pane_dead, pane_format, pane_in_mode, pane_input_off, pane_key_mode, pane_last, pane_marked, pane_marked_set, pane_mode, pane_path, pane_pipe, pane_synchronized, pane_unseen_changes), 12 window_* (window_active_clients_list, window_active_sessions_list, window_activity_flag, window_bell_flag, window_bigger, window_end_flag, window_flags, window_format, window_last_flag, window_silence_flag, window_start_flag, window_visible_layout), 11 session_* (session_active, session_activity_flag, session_alert, session_bell_flag, session_format, session_group_attached_list, session_group_many_attached, session_grouped, session_many_attached, session_marked, session_silence_flag) fields. Alphabetical insertion preserves existing layout. Each as `str | None = None`; get_output_format() auto-includes them in the tmux -F template. - Tests: parametrized declaration + hydration tests per scope assert each field is registered on the dataclass and either None or a string after refresh(). On older tmux versions unknown tokens expand to empty strings, so older tmux still hydrates the rest of the fields fine. - Focused live tests: pane.pane_synchronized round-trips through tmux's synchronize-panes window option; window.window_flags is always a string. refs #670 (gap #10) --- src/libtmux/neo.py | 36 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ tests/test_pane.py | 56 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ tests/test_session.py | 28 ++++++++++++++++++++++ tests/test_window.py | 41 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 161 insertions(+) diff --git a/src/libtmux/neo.py b/src/libtmux/neo.py index 2eb8c8b35..a81c827a6 100644 --- a/src/libtmux/neo.py +++ b/src/libtmux/neo.py @@ -89,23 +89,36 @@ class Obj: pane_bottom: str | None = None pane_current_command: str | None = None pane_current_path: str | None = None + pane_dead: str | None = None pane_dead_signal: str | None = None pane_dead_status: str | None = None pane_dead_time: str | None = None pane_fg: str | None = None + pane_format: str | None = None pane_height: str | None = None pane_id: str | None = None + pane_in_mode: str | None = None pane_index: str | None = None + pane_input_off: str | None = None + pane_key_mode: str | None = None + pane_last: str | None = None pane_left: str | None = None + pane_marked: str | None = None + pane_marked_set: str | None = None + pane_mode: str | None = None + pane_path: str | None = None pane_pid: str | None = None + pane_pipe: str | None = None pane_right: str | None = None pane_search_string: str | None = None pane_start_command: str | None = None pane_start_path: str | None = None + pane_synchronized: str | None = None pane_tabs: str | None = None pane_title: str | None = None pane_top: str | None = None pane_tty: str | None = None + pane_unseen_changes: str | None = None pane_width: str | None = None pid: str | None = None scroll_position: str | None = None @@ -116,19 +129,30 @@ class Obj: selection_end_y: str | None = None selection_start_x: str | None = None selection_start_y: str | None = None + session_active: str | None = None session_activity: str | None = None + session_activity_flag: str | None = None + session_alert: str | None = None session_alerts: str | None = None session_attached: str | None = None session_attached_list: str | None = None + session_bell_flag: str | None = None session_created: str | None = None + session_format: str | None = None session_group: str | None = None session_group_attached: str | None = None + session_group_attached_list: str | None = None session_group_list: str | None = None + session_group_many_attached: str | None = None session_group_size: str | None = None + session_grouped: str | None = None session_id: str | None = None session_last_attached: str | None = None + session_many_attached: str | None = None + session_marked: str | None = None session_name: str | None = None session_path: str | None = None + session_silence_flag: str | None = None session_stack: str | None = None session_windows: str | None = None socket_path: str | None = None @@ -138,13 +162,22 @@ class Obj: version: str | None = None window_active: str | None = None #

Use target keyword argument instead." Verified against tmux source: tmux's args_get() returns TAILQ_LAST(...) — last value wins (https://github.com/tmux/tmux/blob/3.6a/arguments.c). libtmux constructs argv as ["-t", str(target), *args] (server.py:345), placing the kwarg's -t value FIRST and any positional -t value SECOND. Under last-wins, the *positional* value wins, not the kwarg. The original rationale was factually inverted — readers would build wrong mental models of precedence. what: - Rewrite the .. versionchanged:: 0.34 block to describe the actual behavior. User-facing guidance ("use the target keyword argument instead") stays correct because passing both is still error-prone. - Append a .. versionchanged:: 0.57 block noting the DeprecationWarning that Server.cmd now emits when both are set. - No code change.

The token set added in the gap 14 commit — bracket_paste_flag, pane_flags, pane_floating_flag, pane_pb_progress, pane_pb_state, pane_pipe_pid, pane_zoomed_flag, synchronized_output_flag — exists only in tmux master post-3.6a. The expectation was that tmux silently expands unknown tokens to "" (per format.c:4321 in 3.2a), but at least one of these tokens triggers a tmux 3.2a server-side crash rather than a clean empty expansion — likely a NULL deref against state structures tmux master added but 3.2a doesn't have. The library's minimum supported tmux version is 3.2a, so a crash on that row blocks the matrix. what: - Remove the 8 forward-looking fields from src/libtmux/neo.py. - Remove the parametrized test_obj_declares_post_3_6a_field block from tests/test_pane.py. - Update the CHANGES entry under "~45 typed format-token fields" to "~37" and drop the paragraph describing the forward-looking tokens.

Cross-referencing libtmux's Obj.__dataclass_fields__ against https://github.com/tmux/tmux/blob/3.2a/format.c showed eight tokens that don't exist in tmux 3.2a's format_table[]: - client_theme - pane_key_mode - pane_unseen_changes - session_active - session_activity_flag - session_alert - session_bell_flag - session_silence_flag tmux's format engine is documented as returning "" for unknown tokens (format.c:4321 in 3.2a), but one or more of these specific tokens triggers a server-side crash in 3.2a's format engine. Probably a NULL deref via the options-lookup path (format_find calls options_parse_get first) when the token name matches an option-style key that resolves to NULL in some context. The library's minimum supported tmux version is 3.2a per TMUX_MIN_VERSION in src/libtmux/common.py, so a crash on that row blocks the matrix. what: - Drop the 8 fields from Obj in src/libtmux/neo.py. - Remove the corresponding entries from PANE_FORMAT_FIELDS in tests/test_pane.py and SESSION_FORMAT_FIELDS in tests/test_session.py. - Keep the rest of the gap-10 and gap-11 token additions; the remaining ~35 tokens are all in 3.2a's format_table and don't cause crashes. Follow-up: expose these fields via a version-gated mechanism (e.g. fetch the full format string only for tmux versions that support the tokens, or split Obj into core + augmented dataclasses) so users on 3.4+ / 3.6+ can still read the tokens. This is a forward commit (not autosquashed) so the rollback shows up clearly in the history. --- src/libtmux/neo.py | 8 -------- tests/test_pane.py | 2 -- tests/test_session.py | 5 ----- 3 files changed, 15 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/libtmux/neo.py b/src/libtmux/neo.py index 2ba64e29d..e2fc371b8 100644 --- a/src/libtmux/neo.py +++ b/src/libtmux/neo.py @@ -57,7 +57,6 @@ class Obj: client_termfeatures: str | None = None client_termname: str | None = None client_termtype: str | None = None - client_theme: str | None = None client_tty: str | None = None client_uid: str | None = None client_user: str | None = None @@ -112,7 +111,6 @@ class Obj: pane_in_mode: str | None = None pane_index: str | None = None pane_input_off: str | None = None - pane_key_mode: str | None = None pane_last: str | None = None pane_left: str | None = None pane_marked: str | None = None @@ -130,7 +128,6 @@ class Obj: pane_title: str | None = None pane_top: str | None = None pane_tty: str | None = None - pane_unseen_changes: str | None = None pane_width: str | None = None pid: str | None = None scroll_position: str | None = None @@ -141,14 +138,10 @@ class Obj: selection_end_y: str | None = None selection_start_x: str | None = None selection_start_y: str | None = None - session_active: str | None = None session_activity: str | None = None - session_activity_flag: str | None = None - session_alert: str | None = None session_alerts: str | None = None session_attached: str | None = None session_attached_list: str | None = None - session_bell_flag: str | None = None session_created: str | None = None session_format: str | None = None session_group: str | None = None @@ -164,7 +157,6 @@ class Obj: session_marked: str | None = None session_name: str | None = None session_path: str | None = None - session_silence_flag: str | None = None session_stack: str | None = None session_windows: str | None = None socket_path: str | None = None diff --git a/tests/test_pane.py b/tests/test_pane.py index 26904b202..6c39525ba 100644 --- a/tests/test_pane.py +++ b/tests/test_pane.py @@ -612,7 +612,6 @@ def test_send_keys_flag_only_requires_a_flag(session: Session) -> None: "pane_format", "pane_in_mode", "pane_input_off", - "pane_key_mode", "pane_last", "pane_marked", "pane_marked_set", @@ -620,7 +619,6 @@ def test_send_keys_flag_only_requires_a_flag(session: Session) -> None: "pane_path", "pane_pipe", "pane_synchronized", - "pane_unseen_changes", ) diff --git a/tests/test_session.py b/tests/test_session.py index d80cefcb1..820a88bc5 100644 --- a/tests/test_session.py +++ b/tests/test_session.py @@ -709,17 +709,12 @@ def test_session_search_panes_filter_by_id(session: Session) -> None: SESSION_FORMAT_FIELDS = ( - "session_active", - "session_activity_flag", - "session_alert", - "session_bell_flag", "session_format", "session_group_attached_list", "session_group_many_attached", "session_grouped", "session_many_attached", "session_marked", - "session_silence_flag", ) From 4ae83309e1f1250111214b362b4231d2a15797ee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tony Narlock Date: Sat, 16 May 2026 09:49:33 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 20/38] neo,client(fix[fields]): Drop 11 new client_* tokens that crash tmux 3.2a in list-windows MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit why: After the previous rollback that dropped tokens unknown to tmux 3.2a's format_table, CI's 3.2a row still failed with `server exited unexpectedly` during fetch_objs's `list-windows -F …` call. The remaining suspects were the 11 client_* tokens added in the Client-class commit. tmux's format engine evaluates the -F template against each window-link, with no client bound (ft->c == NULL for the list-windows context). The callbacks check ft->c != NULL and return NULL safely on 3.6a, but at least one of these tokens triggers a server crash in 3.2a's format engine when invoked outside its valid client scope. Rather than chase the specific NULL-deref path through tmux 3.2a's C code, drop these tokens from Obj. The Client dataclass keeps the 14 pre-existing client_* fields (client_name, client_pid, client_termname, etc.) — enough to populate Server.clients with attached-terminal identity, but no longer covers the 12 tokens added in this branch. Dropped from Obj: - client_activity, client_control_mode, client_created - client_last_session, client_mode_format - client_prefix, client_readonly, client_session - client_termfeatures, client_termtype, client_utf8 what: - src/libtmux/neo.py: remove the 11 fields from Obj. - src/libtmux/client.py: change the Client docstring doctest to read client_name (pre-existing) instead of client_readonly (removed). - tests/test_client.py: remove test_client_session_reports_attached_session and test_client_readonly_default_zero (the fields they assert are gone). Follow-up: re-expose these tokens via a scope-aware format string (query client_* only when list-clients is the list_cmd, not when list-windows / list-panes is). This is documented as a TODO and will land in a separate PR once the safe-on-3.2a strategy is designed.

Later tmux versions (3.3+) fixed this dispatch path. The wrappers themselves work correctly on 3.2a — only the specific test shape that asserts on stdout content via a control-mode client doesn't pass. Skip these tests on tmux < 3.3 and keep them gated for the versions that exercise the contract reliably. what: - tests/test_server.py: add `has_gte_version("3.3")` skip to test_server_display_message_flags (the parametrized cases that set target_client) and test_server_display_message_target_client. - tests/test_window.py: same skip on test_window_display_message_target_client. - Other display_message tests (the window_display_message_flags parametrize block that uses auto-injected -t and the no_text_returns_none tests) pass on 3.2a unchanged.

The empirical crashers were 11 client_* tokens queried during list-windows (no client context) and several post-3.2a tokens that contributed cumulative risk. what: - src/libtmux/neo.py: - Add SCOPES_BY_LIST_CMD dict mapping each list-* to the set of token scopes its format engine can resolve (e.g. list-windows reaches universal + session + window; list-clients reaches universal + session + client). - Add FIELD_VERSION dict (initially empty) mapping field name → min tmux version; fields absent from the dict default to the project's floor (3.2a). - Add _SCOPE_PREFIXES table and _token_scope() helper that derive a token's scope from its name prefix (pane_*, window_*, session_*, client_*, buffer_*, etc.). Runtime-only tokens (mouse_*, cursor_*, selection_*, copy_cursor_*, popup_*) resolve to "event" and are excluded from all list-* templates. - Add _UNIVERSAL_TOKENS frozenset for cross-scope tokens without a scope prefix (pid, version, host, host_short, socket_path, etc.). - Add _normalize_tmux_version() helper that treats tmux master as a sentinel "newer than any tagged release" for comparison. - Rewrite get_output_format() to take (list_cmd, tmux_version) and filter the field set accordingly. Cached via @functools.cache on the small number of (list_cmd, version) combinations a process sees. - Rewrite parse_output() to take the same args so it reads the same filtered field order. - Thread the live tmux version through fetch_objs() via get_version(server.tmux_bin) before calling get_output_format(), pass through to parse_output() per line. - Doctests on the helpers and on get_output_format / parse_output demonstrate the new contracts. No Obj field changes in this commit. The 27 fields rolled back during the prior CI bisect remain absent — they re-enter in follow-up commits that exercise the new scope/version gating. --- src/libtmux/neo.py | 234 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---- 1 file changed, 213 insertions(+), 21 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/libtmux/neo.py b/src/libtmux/neo.py index 144055fa1..b7a40373e 100644 --- a/src/libtmux/neo.py +++ b/src/libtmux/neo.py @@ -10,7 +10,8 @@ from collections.abc import Iterable from libtmux import exc -from libtmux.common import raise_if_stderr, tmux_cmd +from libtmux._compat import LooseVersion +from libtmux.common import get_version, raise_if_stderr, tmux_cmd from libtmux.formats import FORMAT_SEPARATOR if t.TYPE_CHECKING: @@ -26,6 +27,134 @@ OutputsRaw = list[OutputRaw] +SCOPES_BY_LIST_CMD: dict[str, frozenset[str]] = { + "list-sessions": frozenset({"universal", "session"}), + "list-windows": frozenset({"universal", "session", "window"}), + "list-panes": frozenset({"universal", "session", "window", "pane"}), + "list-clients": frozenset({"universal", "session", "client"}), +} +"""Format-token scopes a given tmux ``list-*`` subcommand can resolve. + +A token whose scope is in the set is safe to include in that subcommand's +``-F`` template.

The 11 client_* tokens (client_activity, client_control_mode, client_created, client_last_session, client_mode_format, client_prefix, client_readonly, client_session, client_termfeatures, client_termtype, client_utf8) only appear when fetch_objs is called with list_cmd="list-clients" — never during list-windows, list-panes, or list-sessions. This eliminates the root cause of the tmux 3.2a server crash that forced the original rollback. what: - src/libtmux/neo.py: re-add the 11 client_* fields on Obj alphabetically between the existing client_* declarations. No FIELD_VERSION entries are needed — all 11 ship in tmux 3.2a's format_table (verified against https://github.com/tmux/tmux/blob/3.2a/format.c). - src/libtmux/client.py: restore the doctest reading client.client_readonly (a 0/1 string) to demonstrate the typed surface. - tests/test_client.py: re-add test_client_session_reports_attached_session (asserts client.client_session matches the attached session name) and test_client_readonly_default_zero (asserts client.client_readonly is "0" for a normal attached client). Verification: list-windows/list-panes/list-sessions stay scope-clean on tmux 3.2a — the format string for those subcommands contains no client_* tokens.

The original 3.2a defensive trigger was specifically the *upward* case (client_* in non-list-clients context); downward cascade is safe on every supported tmux version (verified against https://github.com/tmux/tmux/blob/3.2a/format.c lines 4718-4723 and NULL-guarded format_cb_session_/_window_/_pane_ callbacks). what: - src/libtmux/neo.py: widen each list-* scope to include the full downward cascade (universal + session + window + pane). Keep client scope gated to list-clients only — that case retains the 3.2a-safe upward gate. - src/libtmux/neo.py: append a sentence to SCOPES_BY_LIST_CMD's docstring naming the cascade asymmetry. - src/libtmux/neo.py: update get_output_format doctest assertions to demonstrate the new contract (list-sessions has pane_id but not client_name; list-clients has both). - tests/test_server.py: add test_sessions_property_hydrates_cross_scope and test_windows_property_hydrates_active_pane exercising the list-sessions / list-windows -a path (distinct from new_session -P). - tests/test_client.py: add test_clients_property_hydrates_cross_scope exercising the list-clients path. --- src/libtmux/neo.py | 23 +++++++++++++++++------ tests/test_client.py | 18 ++++++++++++++++++ tests/test_server.py | 32 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 67 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/libtmux/neo.py b/src/libtmux/neo.py index 8557bd28d..56bb0ffd2 100644 --- a/src/libtmux/neo.py +++ b/src/libtmux/neo.py @@ -28,10 +28,10 @@ SCOPES_BY_LIST_CMD: dict[str, frozenset[str]] = { - "list-sessions": frozenset({"universal", "session"}), - "list-windows": frozenset({"universal", "session", "window"}), + "list-sessions": frozenset({"universal", "session", "window", "pane"}), + "list-windows": frozenset({"universal", "session", "window", "pane"}), "list-panes": frozenset({"universal", "session", "window", "pane"}), - "list-clients": frozenset({"universal", "session", "client"}), + "list-clients": frozenset({"universal", "session", "window", "pane", "client"}), } """Format-token scopes a given tmux ``list-*`` subcommand can resolve. @@ -39,6 +39,13 @@ ``-F`` template.

Every Server.sessions/.windows/.panes/.clients property access then forked tmux -V before the list-* subcommand, doubling subprocess count vs 0.56.0. The seven has_*_version helpers in common.py:437-544 each forked on entry too — every has_gte_version("3.4", tmux_bin=...) guard in pane.py/server.py paid a fresh tmux -V. For polling/search-heavy consumers (libtmux-mcp search_panes, tmuxp inspection) the regression was material. @functools.cache keyed on (tmux_bin,) eliminates the redundant forks. Tmux binary at a given path is effectively immutable for a process' lifetime; the rare PATH-swap / symlink-swap edge case is handled by the auto-exposed get_version.cache_clear() escape hatch (verified behavior against https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/main/Lib/functools.py). Mirrors the existing @functools.cache pattern already in use at neo.py:415 for get_output_format. Tests that monkey-patch libtmux.common.tmux_cmd then call get_version() (test_common.py's parametrized version-parsing tests, legacy_api's get_version test trio) would have been masked by cache pollution from prior tests; an autouse fixture in the new tests/conftest.py flushes the cache before each test to keep those mocks honest. what: - src/libtmux/common.py: add import functools; decorate get_version with @functools.cache; append a Notes paragraph naming the cache key shape and pointing callers to cache_clear() for invalidation. - tests/conftest.py (new): autouse fixture _clear_get_version_cache that calls get_version.cache_clear() before every test in tests/ (covers test_common.py and legacy_api/test_common.py). - tests/test_common.py: add four memoization tests grouped after test_has_version: * test_get_version_is_memoized_for_same_tmux_bin * test_get_version_cache_keyed_by_tmux_bin * test_get_version_cache_clear_invalidates * test_get_version_binary_swap_requires_explicit_cache_clear (the binary-swap test explicitly demonstrates the sticky-cache trap when tmux_bin=None and PATH changes, then verifies the cache_clear() escape hatch). All tests use t.ClassVar[list[str]] on the mock-proc class attributes to satisfy RUF012. Empirical: 10 consecutive get_version() calls now produce 1 fork (was 10).

The prefix rule isn't wrong for every cursor_*: copy-mode cursor tokens (copy_cursor_*) and runtime cursor events stay event-only.

Same regression class as cursor_x/y (fixed in 63c1238d) — caught by auditing every format_cb_* callback in https://github.com/tmux/tmux/blob/master/format.c and https://github.com/tmux/tmux/blob/3.2a/format.c against libtmux's Obj fields. The prefix rule still earns its keep: genuine runtime mouse-event tokens (mouse_word, mouse_pane, mouse_x/y, mouse_status_*) gate on ``ft->m.valid`` and stay event-only, and the copy-mode scroll tokens (scroll_position) are runtime-injected via format_add() in window-copy.c. Per-token overrides admit just the misclassified mode-flag and region tokens without loosening the prefix rule for the legitimate event-only ones. what: - Add 5 mouse_*_flag and 2 scroll_region_* entries to _SCOPE_OVERRIDES with "pane" scope. All seven callbacks dereference ft->wp->base in format.c on every tmux from 3.2a through master, so no version gating needed. - Tighten the doctest on _token_scope to cover the new override class (mouse_all_flag → pane), distinguishing per-pane mode bits from runtime mouse events. - Add parametrized test_pane_scope_override_field_hydrates with the 7 new tokens plus the 3 cursor_* tokens already covered by 63c1238d. Asserts ``value is not None`` (stricter than the existing test_pane_format_field_declared_and_hydrated's ``None or isinstance(str)``), so a future scope misclassification fails loudly instead of silently degrading the typed surface. --- src/libtmux/neo.py | 13 ++++++++++++- tests/test_pane.py | 35 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 47 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/src/libtmux/neo.py b/src/libtmux/neo.py index 2a45a7ce9..c052e002e 100644 --- a/src/libtmux/neo.py +++ b/src/libtmux/neo.py @@ -108,6 +108,13 @@ "cursor_y": "pane", # ft->wp->base.cy "cursor_flag": "pane", # ft->wp->base.mode "cursor_character": "pane", # ft->wp + "mouse_all_flag": "pane", # ft->wp->base.mode MODE_MOUSE_ALL + "mouse_any_flag": "pane", # ft->wp->base.mode ALL_MOUSE_MODES + "mouse_button_flag": "pane", # ft->wp->base.mode MODE_MOUSE_BUTTON + "mouse_sgr_flag": "pane", # ft->wp->base.mode MODE_MOUSE_SGR + "mouse_standard_flag": "pane", # ft->wp->base.mode MODE_MOUSE_STANDARD + "scroll_region_lower": "pane", # ft->wp->base.rlower + "scroll_region_upper": "pane", # ft->wp->base.rupper } @@ -171,10 +178,14 @@ def _token_scope(field_name: str) -> str: 'event' Tokens whose name doesn't carry a scope prefix can still be scope-gated - via :data:`_SCOPE_OVERRIDES` (verified against tmux's ``format_cb_*``): + via :data:`_SCOPE_OVERRIDES` (verified against tmux's ``format_cb_*``). + The override also corrects prefix-misclassified tokens — e.g. + ``mouse_all_flag`` is a per-pane mode bit, not a runtime mouse event: >>> _token_scope("synchronized_output_flag") 'pane' + >>> _token_scope("mouse_all_flag") + 'pane' """ override = _SCOPE_OVERRIDES.get(field_name) if override is not None: diff --git a/tests/test_pane.py b/tests/test_pane.py index 89c85fdd6..ef4327753 100644 --- a/tests/test_pane.py +++ b/tests/test_pane.py @@ -663,6 +663,41 @@ def test_pane_synchronized_reflects_window_state(session: Session) -> None: assert pane.pane_synchronized == "0" +PANE_SCOPE_OVERRIDE_FIELDS = ( + "cursor_x", + "cursor_y", + "cursor_flag", + "mouse_all_flag", + "mouse_any_flag", + "mouse_button_flag", + "mouse_sgr_flag", + "mouse_standard_flag", + "scroll_region_lower", + "scroll_region_upper", +) + + +@pytest.mark.parametrize("field_name", PANE_SCOPE_OVERRIDE_FIELDS) +def test_pane_scope_override_field_hydrates( + field_name: str, + session: Session, +) -> None: + """Per-token scope overrides admit each token into list-panes -F. + + These tokens' callbacks all dereference ``ft->wp`` in tmux's + ``format.c`` (verified across tmux 3.2a through master), so the value + must hydrate to a string on every supported tmux version.

The fix isolates the universal set to tokens whose callbacks actually resolve without session/window/pane/client context (``__unused`` ft or global reads), and routes the pane- and session-scoped standalones through _SCOPE_OVERRIDES so list-panes/list-sessions are the only -F templates that emit them. alternate_on is in tmux's format_table but not declared on Obj, so it gets no override (no-op without a typed field); adding the field is a separate concern. what: - Remove 12 mislabeled tokens from _UNIVERSAL_TOKENS; tighten its docstring to name what stays (truly server-wide / parse-context). - Add 9 pane-scope and 2 session-scope entries to _SCOPE_OVERRIDES with the same ``# ft->...`` callback-context comments as the existing entries. Callbacks verified against https://github.com/tmux/tmux and https://github.com/tmux/tmux/tree/3.2a — identical on every supported version. - Extend PANE_SCOPE_OVERRIDE_FIELDS with the 9 reclassified pane-scope tokens; add SESSION_SCOPE_OVERRIDE_FIELDS + test_session_scope_override_field_hydrates for the 2 session-scope tokens. Same ``value is not None`` assertion as commit b33ddc81 — catches the same regression class on a different scope. - Add ``active_window_index`` → 'session' to _token_scope's doctest so the override-correcting role of _SCOPE_OVERRIDES is documented for non-pane scopes too. --- src/libtmux/neo.py | 32 ++++++++++++++++++-------------- tests/test_pane.py | 10 ++++++++++ tests/test_session.py | 24 ++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 52 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/libtmux/neo.py b/src/libtmux/neo.py index c052e002e..6d1aeea35 100644 --- a/src/libtmux/neo.py +++ b/src/libtmux/neo.py @@ -115,33 +115,36 @@ "mouse_standard_flag": "pane", # ft->wp->base.mode MODE_MOUSE_STANDARD "scroll_region_lower": "pane", # ft->wp->base.rlower "scroll_region_upper": "pane", # ft->wp->base.rupper + "alternate_saved_x": "pane", # ft->wp->base.saved_cx + "alternate_saved_y": "pane", # ft->wp->base.saved_cy + "history_bytes": "pane", # ft->wp + "history_limit": "pane", # ft->wp->base.grid->hlimit + "history_size": "pane", # ft->wp->base.grid->hsize + "insert_flag": "pane", # ft->wp->base.mode MODE_INSERT + "keypad_cursor_flag": "pane", # ft->wp->base.mode MODE_KCURSOR + "keypad_flag": "pane", # ft->wp->base.mode MODE_KKEYPAD + "origin_flag": "pane", # ft->wp->base.mode MODE_ORIGIN + "wrap_flag": "pane", # ft->wp->base.mode MODE_WRAP + "active_window_index": "session", # ft->s->curw->idx + "last_window_index": "session", # ft->s } -# Standalone tokens not captured by the prefix table. +# Standalone tokens not captured by the prefix table.
