Changes

Feature branch at v0.46.x

v0.46.x will extend the life of v0.46.0 while new features are being developed for watching for changes within libtmux panes, windows, and sessions.

See:

• #587
• #582

Documentation

• Fix typo in Pane.send_keys (#593)

  Thank you @subbyte!

Breaking Changes

• Test Helper Imports Refactored: Direct imports from libtmux.test are no longer possible. You must now import from specific submodules (#580)

  # Before:
  from libtmux.test import namer
  # After: 
  from libtmux.test.named import namer

  # Before:
  from libtmux.test import RETRY_INTERVAL_SECONDS
  # After: 
  from libtmux.test.constants import RETRY_INTERVAL_SECONDS

Internal Improvements

• Enhanced Test Utilities: The EnvironmentVarGuard now handles variable cleanup more reliably
• Comprehensive Test Coverage: Added test suites for constants and environment utilities
• Code Quality: Added proper coverage markers to exclude type checking blocks from coverage reports
• Documentation: Improved docstrings and examples in the random module

These changes improve maintainability of test helpers both internally and for downstream packages that depend on libtmux.

What's Changed

• Coverage: Test helpers by @tony in #580

Test helpers: Refactor

by @tony in #578

Test helper functionality has been split into focused modules (#578):

• libtmux.test module split into:
  • libtmux.test.constants: Test-related constants (TEST_SESSION_PREFIX, etc.)
  • libtmux.test.environment: Environment variable mocking
  • libtmux.test.random: Random string generation utilities
  • libtmux.test.temporary: Temporary session/window management

Breaking: Import paths have changed. Update imports:

# Old (0.44.x and earlier)
from libtmux.test import (
    TEST_SESSION_PREFIX,
    get_test_session_name,
    get_test_window_name,
    namer,
    temp_session,
    temp_window,
    EnvironmentVarGuard,
)

# New (0.45.0+)
from libtmux.test.constants import TEST_SESSION_PREFIX
from libtmux.test.environment import EnvironmentVarGuard
from libtmux.test.random import get_test_session_name, get_test_window_name, namer
from libtmux.test.temporary import temp_session, temp_window

Misc

What's Changed

Packaging

• types: Only use typing-extensions if necessary by @ppentchev in #563

Full Changelog: v0.44.0...v0.44.1

What's Changed

Support for context managers

by @tony in #566.

Added context manager support for all main tmux objects:

• Server: Automatically kills the server when exiting the context
• Session: Automatically kills the session when exiting the context
• Window: Automatically kills the window when exiting the context
• Pane: Automatically kills the pane when exiting the context

Example usage:

with Server() as server:
    with server.new_session() as session:
        with session.new_window() as window:
            with window.split() as pane:
                pane.send_keys('echo "Hello"')
                # Do work with the pane
                # Everything is cleaned up automatically when exiting contexts

This makes it easier to write clean, safe code that properly cleans up tmux resources.
