Proof of concept clone of tmuxinator functionality based on iTerm and AppleScript instead.

set projectDir to homePath & "Desktop/Ruby/growth-republic/iview-prototype"

tell iTermAutomation

On Mavericks it works great, but on Yosemite I'm getting „execution error: An error of type -10810 has occurred. (-10810)”. Have any idea how to fix it? I'm pretty sure error comes from apple script function from tmuxinator.scpt.

@Kayne thanks for the feedback, I will check that as soon as I get Yosemite, probably over the weekend or next week.

@Kayne how do you run the script? I've quickly checked on Yosemite (after upgrade, not clean install though) and I am no longer able to run the config script directly from shell, but running it like this osascript ~/sample_config.applescript does not lead to reproducing the error. Have you tried to recompile tmuxinator.scpt using AppleScript Editor? [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23398435/applescript-error-10810] suggests that either iTerm application could not be found or the process table is full. You can try to replace tell application "iTerm" with tell application "Applications:iTerm.app" (set the correct path to iTerm.app file, in my case it is in /Applications/iTerm.app).

Let me know if that helps :)

I implemented this in JS which is new in Yosemite if anyone is curious: https://gist.github.com/pmdarrow/96eb5fcc9c460336fc56.

This is very cool. I wish I had found it a few weeks ago. I just released iTermocil which is a command line tool for iTerm which allows you to easily configure sets of panes and commands:

I am a teamocil user, rather that tmuxinator, so iTermocil is compatible with teamocil files.
