Returns an error when tmux cannot be reached or refuses the format.

Examples

let guard = libtmux::test::TestServer::new().await?;
let session = guard.server().new_session("shown").await?;
let window = session.active_window().await?.expect("a window");

assert_eq!(expanded.to_string_lossy(), window.id().to_string());
