Hi,
I encountered an error while trying to upgrade Wezterm to a newer nightly build on MacOS using the previous brew command. The error message was:
“Error: Cask wezterm-nightly exists in multiple taps:
homebrew/cask-versions/wezterm-nightly
wez/wezterm/wezterm-nightly”
To resolve this issue temporarily, I modified the shell script to use the "wez/wezterm/wezterm-nightly" tap. However, I wanted to check if it's preferable to use the "homebrew/cask-versions/wezterm-nightly" tap instead. Please let me know your thoughts on this.
Thanks!
Threads through a GuiPosition from mux window creation to allow it to be
used when the corresponding gui window is created.
SpawnCommand now has an optional position field to use for that purpose.
```lua
wezterm.mux.spawn_window {
position = {
x = 10,
y = 300,
-- Optional origin to use for x and y.
-- Possible values:
-- * "ScreenCoordinateSystem" (this is the default)
-- * "MainScreen" (the primary or main screen)
-- * "ActiveScreen" (whichever screen hosts the active/focused window)
-- * {Named="HDMI-1"} - uses a screen by name. See wezterm.gui.screens()
-- origin = "ScreenCoordinateSystem"
},
}
```

If there are no windows, clicking on the dock icon will spawn a new
window.
Requires that `quit_when_all_windows_are_closed=false`

We need to manually convert to string, as the default ToDynamic
impl encodes the underlying bits value from the bitfield and
that doesn't round trip with the try_from String impl
Brief usage notes here:
```lua
local wezterm = require 'wezterm'
local a_plugin = wezterm.plugin.require "https://github.com/owner/repo"
local config = wezterm.config_builder()
a_plugin.apply_to_config(config)
return config
```
The referenced repo is expected to have a `plugin/init.lua` file,
and by convention, return a module that exports an `apply_to_config`
function that accepts at least a config builder parameter, but may
pass other parameters, or a lua table with a `config` field that maps
to a config build parameter.
`wezterm.plugin.require` will clone the repo if it doesn't already
exist and store it in the runtime dir under `plugins/NAME` where
`NAME` is derived from the repo URL. Once cloned, the repo is
NOT automatically updated.
Only HTTP (or local filesystem) repos are allowed for the git URL;
we cannot currently use ssh for this due to conflicting version
requirements that I'll take a look at later.
`wezterm.plugin.require` will then perform `require "NAME"`,
and since the default `package.path` now includes the appropriate
location from the runtime dir, the module should load.
Two other functions are available:
`wezterm.plugin.list()` will list the plugin repos.
`wezterm.plugin.update_all()` will attempt to fast-forward or `pull
--rebase` each of the repos it finds. It doesn't currently do anything
proactive to reload the configuration afterwards; the user will need to
do that themselves.
Rust 1.67, released today, is a bit more particular about the layout
of the memory used in TeenyString and segfaults in the test suite.
On closer inspection, our Drop impl was casting to Vec<u8> instead of
TeenyStringHeap and the fault was freeing bogus memory within that
region.
Fixing the cast to the correct type resolves the issue.
The motivation here was to remove some similar but not quite the same
logic that existed for starting up when using `wezterm connect`.
Now `wezterm connect DOMAIN` is implemented as `wezterm start --domain
DOMAIN --attach --always-new-process` and a little extra hand-wave to
ensure that the default domain is set correctly.
The startup events have been refactored a bit; a new gui-attached
event is emitted after attaching and starting any default programs
in the selected domain at startup.
That event can be used to maximize windows and so on, if desired.
The gui-attached event is independent of the startup command and fires
for `wezterm connect`, which `gui-startup` did not (and could not) do.
