status modules like "directory" or "application" are not updated (+FIX)

[itakatz]

I am not requesting help with my configuration and believe something is genuinely broken.

• Something is really actually broken.

Is there an existing issue outlining your problem?

• I have searched the existing issues and troubleshooting guide, and they do not solve my problem.

Describe your problem.

Using tag v2.1.3.
I set the status message using for example:

set -gF status-right "#{E:@catppuccin_status_directory}#{E:@catppuccin_status_application}#{E:@catppuccin_status_date_time}"

however the current directory and application are not updated in the status.

[Possible fix] I believe the reason is that in this line:

tmux/utils/status_module.conf

Line 42 in 14a546f

set -ag "@catppuccin_status_${MODULE_NAME}" "#{E:@catppuccin_${MODULE_NAME}_text}"

the @catppuccin_${MODULE_NAME}_text variable is expanded (using the E:), so it no longer includes the tmux vars like pane_current_path or pane_current_command etc.
Removing the E: seems to fix it, that is:
set -ag "@catppuccin_status_${MODULE_NAME}" "#{@catppuccin_${MODULE_NAME}_text}"

(PS sorry for not fixing it using a PR)

Paste your configuration.

set -g @catppuccin_flavor 'mocha' #'latte' # or frappe, macchiato, mocha

set -g @catppuccin_window_flags "icon" # "text"
set -g @catppuccin_window_status_style "rounded"
set -g @catppuccin_window_current_number_color "#{@thm_mauve}"

set -g @catppuccin_window_left_separator ""
set -g @catppuccin_window_right_separator " "
set -g @catppuccin_window_middle_separator " █"
set -g @catppuccin_window_number_position "right"

#set -g @catppuccin_window_default_fill "number"
set -g @catppuccin_window_text "#W"

#set -g @catppuccin_window_current_fill "number"
set -g @catppuccin_window_current_text "#W"

set -g @catppuccin_status_left_separator " "
set -g @catppuccin_status_right_separator ""
set -g @catppuccin_status_right_separator_inverse "no"
set -g @catppuccin_status_connect_separator "no"

set -g @catppuccin_directory_text "#{pane_current_path}"
set -g @catppuccin_application_text "#{pane_current_command}"

run ~/.config/tmux/plugins/catppuccin/tmux/catppuccin.tmux

set -gF status-right "#{E:@catppuccin_status_directory}#{E:@catppuccin_status_application}#{E:@catppuccin_status_date_time}"
set -g status-left ""

Don't expand the option as a format string when setting it, then it works. If you want to submit a PR making the docs clearer please go for it
