def list_windows: ( ?timeout: ::Numeric, ?cancel: untyped ) -> ::Array[::LibTmux::Window] method libtmux [source] ¶

Description#

Behavior contract: Live acquisition.

Examples#

List all server windows and the windows belonging to one session. 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 list_windows.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

require "libtmux"

begin
  LibTmux::Server.start do |server|
    work = server.new_session(name: "work", command: ["/bin/cat"])
    work.new_window(name: "logs", command: ["/bin/cat"])
    server.new_session(name: "other", command: ["/bin/cat"])
    puts "server windows: #{server.list_windows.length}"
    puts "work windows: #{work.list_windows.length}"
  end
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:

$ bundle install && \
  bundle exec ruby list_windows.rb

Expected output:

server windows: 3
work windows: 2
