Frequent Permission Requests

[tonydero]

Hello,

Ever since I've been using zjstatus (about a year) I get frequent requests to confirm giving it permissions.

I load up several different layouts of zellij at startup, each with a zjstatus bar at the top, and invariably at least one has a tab asking for the permissions to be confirmed again. Many times it doesn't even show the text, but the zjstatus bar is blank until I use the mouse to click on it and then pressing y makes the bar show up after a few seconds usually. It's not the most inconvenient thing ever, but it does cause problems when I am not in a graphical environment. I can't figure out a way to confirm it without clicking with a mouse. I tried using launch-or-focus-plugin but couldn't get that to work.

I downloaded the wasm file and use it that way (i.e. not from a url) so I can't imagine it's updates causing the re-request of permissions? I'm not even sure it's an issue with zjstatus, but can't find any info anywhere about other people experiencing this, so I figured I'd start here.

I'm just looking to either add a keybind to zellij to allow me to confirm the permissions so I don't have to use a mouse, or ideally I'd like to not have to keep confirming the permissions at all.

Many thanks for any help or pointing me in the right direction.

Hi,

thanks for your detailed bug report. Unfortunately there's not much we can do about it, as the permission requests lay on zellijs side. There might be new permission requests after updates or if the path to the wasm file changes.

It would be great if you could gain some more details and report it on zellijs side.

[dj95]

It might be something with the latest zellij update. Since the last version update I also experience some permission requests without the according indicators.

[tonydero]

Yeah those are likely two separate issues. Just thought solving one might solve both for me.

When you say "There might be new permission requests after updates" do you just mean if I manually update the wasm file? Didn't see anything in the code that implied any sort of automatic self updating, but I'm still quite the novice. Just want to make sure I understand everything before going to zellij with the info. Thanks again!
