"terminal=true" not working?

[Mikii67]

Hi. I am using version 2.0.42 on a Mac M1 with Big Sur 11.3.1, and I cannot get "terminal=true" to work.

Is anybody else having the same issues?

Yep, I'm just making the move from BitBar to xbar now and am having the same issue with plugins that work well with BitBar. Also using version 2.0.42 with Big Sur 11.3.1.

Hey @Mikii67 and @zverhope - yeah this not yet working due to complications when implementing it.

The problem is, I wanted to use a template to allow people to customise which application this uses (BitBar only supported Terminal, but people like to use other terminals like iTerm 2 etc.)

Thanks for letting us know, and once again thanks for the great app!

As a workaround, it's possible to create an intermediate file that launches the terminal:

In the plugin file:

some entry | shell='/Users/xxx/bin/open_terminal.command'

open_terminal.command:

#/bin/bash

open -a "/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app" "/the/file/you/actually/want/to/open"

i am not interested in a workaround

[matryer]
