Strider does not work on MacOS Sonoma 14.2.1

[jigypeper]

Issues with the Zellij UI / behavior / crash

Issue description

Cannot run strider plugin.

Minimal reproduction

Steps:

1. install zellij via 'brew install zellij'
2. run 'zellij -l strider'
3. crashes with 'Received empty message from server'

Other relevant information

I think it's just a strider issue. Tried on wsl2 with work laptop and had no issues, very odd and frustrating.

yup can confirm, I have the same problem.

Same with macOS Ventura lastest (13.6.3) with lasted zellij (0.39.2).

zellij --layout compact always works, zellij --layout strider always exits within about 200ms with Received empty message from server.

zellij -d --layout strider shows no additional output.

Possibly related issue: #2170

Deleting the caches as suggested in that issue does not work as a workaround.

Same issue here. Loading each plugin I got ran into a crash with message Received empty message from server.

Getting this issue also, issue is present in all three scenarios:
Homebrew: homebrew install zellij
Cargo: cargo install --locked zellij
Try Zellij Without Installing: bash <(curl -L zellij.dev/launch)

The following are ways I attempted to load the strider layout resulting in zellij crashing and displaying the message:
Received empty message from server

Method 1, external from a zellij session: zellij --layout strider
Method 2, within a zellij session: zellij action new-pane --plugin zellij:strider

Version: zellij 0.39.2
Hardware: Apple M3 Pro Sonoma 14.3 (arm64)

I just tested Zellij 0.38.2 and the issue is not present in that version. Strider loaded with no issues right away.

I've just tried the 0.38.2 binary and strider seems to work fine on that one...

[mbhutton]

Appears to be fixed in the newly released 0.40.0 on my Sonoma system.
Was failing with Zellij 0.39.2, but now works fine.

[jigypeper]

Really!
I'll give that a shot tonight.
🤞

0.40.0 does appear to fix this issue :)
