Dashboard - Recent sessions is always empty

[kliu99]

Hello,

I added a recent sessions section in the snacks dashboard option:

{ pane = 2, icon = " ", title = "Recent Sessions", padding = 1 },
{ pane = 2, section = "session", indent = 2, padding = 1 },

But the section is always empty, no sessions are listed in the dashboard. But if I type "S" key (:lua require('persistence').select()). I do see different sessions show up in the list. I was wondering if there are something wrong. I'm using the persistence.nvim that comes with LazyVim.org

{ title = "Sessions", padding = 1 },
{ section = "projects", padding = 1 },

The session section is for keys only. It's not intended to display anything.

Thanks for the suggestion! Unfortunately this doesn't solve my problem. I can only see one of two sessions listed from the "projects" section. Maybe because not all my projects are version controlled?

Yes, it detects projects with a .git folder. The best you can do with projects is to use opts.dirs:

I changed section: "sessions" to action = "<space>ql"

for your use case action = "<space>qS"
