Errors when moving focus back to original pane in Zellij

[jamesgecko]

I'm using the latest vim-slime (9bc2e13) in Neovim 0.10.4 with Zellij 0.41.2.

-- lazy.nvim configuration
  {
      "jpalardy/vim-slime",
      init = function()
        vim.g.slime_no_mappings = 1
        vim.g.slime_target = "zellij"
        vim.g.slime_default_config = {session_id = "current", relative_pane = "right"}
        vim.g.slime_dont_ask_default = 1
      end
  },

When I try to send a command to the default pane to the right, I get an error

:SlimeSend1 bundle exec rspec myfile.rb

E716: Key not present in Dictionary: "relative_move_back"
E116: Invalid arguments for function slime#common#system
Press ENTER or type command to continue

It sends the command, but displays this error and doesn't move the cursor back to the original pane.

hi @jamesgecko

what's that about myfile.rb? that does look familiar 🤔

[jamesgecko]

I have a keyboard binding for vim-slime to start my Ruby test runner with the current buffer file name. That's an example of the command it runs.

I can trigger the error by sending anything to the terminal. :SlimeSend1 ls is a simpler example.

Got it 👍

I'm not on Zellij myself but the problem sounds specific to it. Let's go with elimination

• did this use to work and suddenly stopped? or did it never work?
• what happens if you send the commands yourself, from the command-line? (commands in question)
