Error: Terminal does not support reporting screen sizes in pixels

[ju1ius]

Describe the bug

Using the kitty terminal, running the icat kitten to display images causes the following error:

Error: Terminal does not support reporting screen sizes in pixels,
use a terminal such as kitty, WezTerm, Konsole, etc. that does.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Run the kitty terminal
2. Start a new asciinema recording: asciinema rec /path/to/file.cast
3. Try to display an image by running kitten icat /path/to/some/image.png
4. See error

Expected behavior

The image should show correctly.
In addition, the error message is confusing since I'm actually using a terminal that «supports reporting screen sizes in pixels».

Versions:

• OS: Debian sid
• asciinema cli: 2.4.0

Additional context:

Here's the cast:

[ku1ik]

I tested this with the latest version from develop, which is a new Rust codebase, and it seems to work. This new implementation will be released as 3.0, but I have no ETA at the moment.

If you'd like to test the beta of 3.0 check the instructions here: https://discourse.asciinema.org/t/testing-the-new-rust-version-of-the-asciinema-cli/778

Can you verify this problem has been fixed in 3.0? You can get a pre-release build of 3.0 here: https://github.com/asciinema/asciinema/releases/tag/v3.0.0-rc.1
