def where: ( ?untyped, **untyped ) -> ::LibTmux::Selection[Elem]

Description#

Behavior contract: Selections.

Examples#

Filter a captured snapshot, distinguish a missing session, and acquire a fresh pane selection. one raises unless exactly one record matches; one_or_nil returns nil only for zero matches. Use Ruby 3.3 or newer with Bundler, and tmux 3.3a or newer, on Unix with /bin/cat and /bin/sh available. In an empty directory, save this Gemfile:

source "https://rubygems.org"
gem "libtmux", "0.1.1"

Save this complete program as query.rb. Its Server.start() block owns a private tmux server and stops it on exit, including after an error. View source

# frozen_string_literal: true
begin
# docs:begin main
require "libtmux"
LibTmux::Server.start do |server|
work = server.new_session(name: "work", command: ["/bin/cat"], receipt: true)
server.new_session(name: "logs", command: ["/bin/cat"])
snapshot = server.snapshot
session = snapshot.sessions.where(name: "work").one
puts "matching session: #{session.name}"
missing = snapshot.sessions.one_or_nil(name: "missing")
puts "missing session: #{missing.nil?}"
panes = server.search_panes(where: {id: work.pane.id})
puts "matching pane: #{panes.one.id}"
end
# docs:end main
rescue StandardError => error
warn "#{error.class}: #{error.message}"
exit 1
end

Install the gem and run the program. An operation or cleanup error makes it exit unsuccessfully:

Terminal window
$ bundle install && \
bundle exec ruby query.rb

Expected output:

matching session: work
missing session: true
matching pane: %0
