Custom status line modules don't show value

[nikero41]

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.

When trying to create a new module for tmux-continuum with the catppuccin styles it does not render the text from the plugin.

%hidden MODULE_NAME="my_custom_module"
set -ogq "@catppuccin_${MODULE_NAME}_icon" " "
set -ogqF "@catppuccin_${MODULE_NAME}_color" "#{E:@thm_pink}"
set -ogq "@catppuccin_${MODULE_NAME}_text" "start|#{continuum_status}|end"
source "~/.config/tmux/plugins/tmux/utils/status_module.conf"

run "~/.config/tmux/plugins/tmux/catppuccin.tmux"
set -g status-right "#{E:@catppuccin_status_my_custom_module}"
set -ag status-right "#{continuum_status}"

However, the plugin seems to work by it self.

Paste your configuration.

# Configure Tmux Plugin Manager
set-environment -gF TMUX_PLUGIN_PATH '#{HOME}/.config/tmux/plugins'

if 'test ! -d "${TMUX_PLUGIN_PATH}/tpm"' {
  run 'mkdir -p "${TMUX_PLUGIN_PATH}"'
  run 'git clone https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tpm "${TMUX_PLUGIN_PATH}/tpm"'
  run '${TMUX_PLUGIN_PATH}/tpm/bin/install_plugins'
}

Any additional comments?

No response

set -ogq "@catppuccin_${MODULE_NAME}_text" "start|#{l:#{continuum_status}}|end"

Also why are you using -o? I'm assuming you have another configuration file somewhere that can override this option?
