Oh my posh becomes slow when kubectl is installed

What happened?

I followed the steps outlined here to configure my prompt. My profile.ps1 looks like this:

Import-Module oh-my-posh
oh-my-posh --init --shell pwsh --config ~\AppData\Local\Programs\oh-my-posh\themes\stelbent.minimal.omp.json | Invoke-Expression

The prompt looks nice and works as expected. However, after running any arbitrary command (including very simple things like echo) it takes a noticably long time before the prompt returns (about 0.2-1 seconds it seems, but it varies).

Based on the output from Write-PoshDebug it seems that the command kubectl is the culprit. If I remove kubectl from PATH the problem goes away.

Theme

The result is the same with most themes, it seems.

What OS are you seeing the problem on?

Windows

Which shell are you using?

powershell

@andrerav unfortunately that's just kubectl being slow. What you can do is make use of parse_kubeconfig to no longer do the kubectl call but let oh-my-posh parse the config manually.

Great, thank you very much for that tip. My solution ended up being a custom theme where I removed the kubectl segment entirely.
