Not managing wezterm-gui until after restarting yabai

[khaneliman]

After 7.0 (I think) I started noticing wezterm-gui from nixpkgs doesn't get managed until I restart yabai. If i launch wezterm while yabai is running it gets ignored from being tiled, for some reason.

EDIT: Played around with launching the .App instead of directly invoking the binary. When I launch the .App it is managed, i can then invoke the binary and see it managed if the .App is still running. But, launching the wezterm-gui binary itself seems to be ignored.

Sounds like same issue as #2168

[koekeishiya]

Whitelisted on master.

[koekeishiya]

Changed how this works. Explicit whitelisting should no longer be necessary.

[koekeishiya]

Should be fixed in v7.0.4.

[khaneliman]

Thanks, just updated to 7.0.4 and it works again. Appreciate it, @koekeishiya

I'm still experiencing this issue running the latest commit (it's been like this since 82727a2), both with zathura and wezterm-gui, though it only seems to occur about 50% of the time.

Same, I'm on yabai-v7.1.1, and wezterm is sometimes managed, sometimes not.

@koekeishiya could you please reopen this issue?

It's not a permanent solution perhaps, but I realized this happened on both yabai and komorebi when I disabled the title bar in WezTerm during the initial configuration (which most people do with tiling WMs).

I made a compromise by setting:

config.window_decorations = "INTEGRATED_BUTTONS|RESIZE"

I tried it with both Windows and macOS which resolved the problem for me, and it still looks nice for me with tabs. So perhaps something to do with Wezterm and how disabling the title bar exposes the handle within the OS API.

Didn't fix the issue on my end.

Issue persists with yabai v7.1.2

Resolved after script injection.

[AlJohri]

I'm also running into the same issue. I just reported it upstream to wezterm here: wez/wezterm#6075

Make sure to re-run the script injection.

That's how I solved the issue.

[AlJohri]

Make sure to re-run the script injection.

@escwxyz Are you suggesting to re-run sudo yabai --load-sa? That didn't work for me. However, yabai --restart-service did indeed fix it although that's not a long term solution.

I made a compromise by setting:

config.window_decorations = "INTEGRATED_BUTTONS|RESIZE"

FWIW, this also did not work for me.

Note, the issue only occurs for me when I run wezterm via the CLI.

[AlJohri]

Found a workaround! Following the advice here for alacritty, If I run wezterm via the CLI like this it seems to work properly:

/Applications/WezTerm.app/Contents/MacOS/wezterm

For what it's worth, I'm having the same issue, and unless window_decorations are set to at least INTEGRATED_BUTTONS, the window is unmanaged, I don't like having the integrated buttons on my terminal windows, so for now I'm just using fullscreen, but this does seem like an issue with yabai where it doesn't manage windows without decorations.
