@bearoxo does this happen only in this repository folder? As it seems your git status is broken (which could add weird ANSI to the output).

[bearoxo]

@JanDeDobbeleer I fixed my git status issue and its still the same if I run git diff. Usually the cursor go haywire as well and it jumps around. I usually just clear the terminal.

[JanDeDobbeleer]

That's because of git diff. You might want to update your git version. We've seen this before. The output of old git diff versions can cause this.

[bearoxo]

git version 2.33.0.windows.2

[JanDeDobbeleer]

It's identical to what's reported in 352. I never found out what was causing it though. The same question applies, do you have a specific pager or git config that can push me in some direction?

[JanDeDobbeleer]

This is a weird bug where git diff is outputting characters it shouldn't. Can you open up an issue at git for windows?

[darkvertex]

@JanDeDobbeleer If you trick your git diff to do git diff --color=always you can probably reproduce the issue as it will force terminal color codes into the output, which is what the copy-paste from #352 looked like it had and possibly here also.

If you're doing git diff in the Go code you may wanna do git diff --color=never so that no other config can turn it on behind your back. (That flag is not a global setting that gets remembered, just a flag for command that moment.)

I took a quick glance at the git segment here: https://github.com/JanDeDobbeleer/oh-my-posh/blob/main/src/segment_git.go and I could not find any execution of "git diff" though. (Is the diff output used somewhere else?)

[darkvertex]

@bearoxo Hey, a little googling and it seems the "index file corrupt" may be an issue with your actual repo (and might explain ohmyposh failing to parse its state.) I found this SO post: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1115854/how-to-resolve-error-bad-index-fatal-index-file-corrupt-when-using-git

Could you humor my theory and git-clone a fresh copy of your repo from whatever its origin url is? and tell me: does the prompt break when you "cd" into there, from that new fresh clone of your repo? (and maybe do a few edits like removing some lines from a readme, just so it's in a non-clean state.)

If it still breaks, it's an ohmyposh bug.

If it doesn't break, your git repo was corrupt and you may need to do something about it.

[JanDeDobbeleer]

@darkvertex tried to reproduce using your suggestion, doesn't really do anything. I'm unable to reproduce this so grasping for straws here.

[JanDeDobbeleer]

@bearoxo does this still occur on newer versions of both git and oh-my-posh?

[bearoxo]

@bearoxo does this still occur on newer versions of both git and oh-my-posh?

No. I haven't got this problem from quite some time.

[JanDeDobbeleer]

@bearoxo in that case I'm closing the issue. Feel free to reopen in case it happens again.
