can't get it working

[hymie0]

I've never used tmux before this, so that's part of my problem.

tmux 1.9a
task 2.5.1 built for linux

This line

    tmux('set', '-t', "$session:$window", 'status', "off");

gives error

session not found: task-dashboard:view

Based on the tmux man page, I changed that to

    tmux('set', '-t', "$session", 'status', "off");

That fixed one error. But I still get lots of errors

can't find pane: %0
can't find pane: %1
can't find pane: %1
can't find pane: %2
can't find pane: %3
can't find pane: %4
can't find pane: %5

and I end up with just a blank screen with nothing on it. Apparently I'm at a (null) shell prompt, becuase ^D returns me to my shell.

tmux list-panes
0: [123x44] [history 0/2000, 0 bytes] %0 (active)

So it looks like my panes aren't being created, and they don't have a % sign in the name/number?

Yes, changing every instance of %$ (where $ is the start of the varibale holding the pane number) to just $ fixed the problem.

So it's working after those changes. Now I need to learn how to make the panes smaller so they fit on my screen.

Hey, thanks for the hint. It seems that I already came across that issue a while ago and fixed it locally like you did (by removing the %-signs). The fix is committed now.

You can resize the panes either in tmux directly (using <prefix>+Alt+Left/Right) or by changing the task-dashboard's configuration file. The layout syntax is described in the README. Let me know if the description is not expressive enough.
