macOS Ventura: "Background Item Added" notification on each boot about tmux-continuum

[bruno-]

I confirm I get the same behavior ("Background Item Added" notification) after every reboot.

This may have to do with writing the launchd plist file every time tmux-continuum runs:

tmux-continuum/scripts/handle_tmux_automatic_start/osx_enable.sh

Line 68 in 9329afa

echo "$launchd_plist_file_content" > "$osx_auto_start_file_path"

If someone wants to troubleshoot this:

• I'd first check if the notification pops if the above line is commented out.
• If that fixes the problem, then I think we only want to write launchd plist file if the template content changed.

can confirm that commenting line 68 out works out, as @bruno- suggested. A good PR any1?

I try to comment this line and then run tmux source .tmux.conf no popup showed up.
When I uncomment and re-run the command, the popup appears.

I notice that these notifications comes also when starting a new tmux session in general; it came even 2 times when I started a new tmux session (with no other running already)

Hi!

Facing the same problem. Any update on this?

Also, @erikw , is the script working for you at all? I get the notifications, but iTerm isn't starting reboot.

@PBHDK iTerm does start for me at boot still.
