Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/rivo/tview/issues/2

Running any tview project with Termite gives a "terminal entry not found" error.

I ran the box example:


import "github.com/rivo/tview"

func main() {
	box := tview.NewBox().
		SetBorder(true).
		SetTitle("Box Demo")
	if err := tview.NewApplication().SetRoot(box, true).Run(); err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
}

This is the output in Termite:

panic: terminal entry not found

goroutine 1 [running]:
main.main()
	/home/shift/dev/go/2proj/main.go:12 +0x22d
exit status 2

The project runs fine in other Terminals like XTerm.

Woooops! Turns out it's my fault. I needed to set my terminal to "xterm-256color".

This is actually not a fix. TERM=xterm-termite is a perfectly valid setting if you have the corresponding terminfo file installed. Is there some reason tview doesn't use the terminfo database?

You'll want to post this issue over at tcell. That's the terminal library tview uses, that also handles these settings.

Looks like that should have been merged recently:
