See https://yazi-rs.github.io/docs/plugins/overview#debugging on how to enable logging or debug runtime errors.

Describe the question

Does anyone know how to run a command, for example a plugin, automatically on startup?
like:
run = "plugin myplug foo"

Anything else?

Okai, its done by using the init.lua and a require("plugin"):foo()

[sxyazi]

As a supplement, you can also call ya.emit() in your init.lua to run any command, in your case:

ya.emit("plugin", { "myplug", "foo" })

Doc of ya.emit(): https://yazi-rs.github.io/docs/plugins/utils#ya.emit

Aight thx!,
Another question, how could i use the yazi DDS so if I lauch yazi from script A my plugin on startup could notice that and react acordingly?

Like: yazi --client-id 1, ya pub-to --str "hello from A" 1 myEvent
but here script A wont be able tu run multiple times simultaneously (repeated id).
Im trying to apply this to the yazi-wrapper.sh for xdg-desktop-portal-termfilechooser
