What happened?

Oh My Posh suddenly stopped working on Powershell in the Windows Terminal App (and in other places). Here is how the powershell looks now

Theme

I use the blue-owl theme normally which isn't working. I tried other themes and none of them are working. I set the theme using this line in my $profile oh-my-posh --init --shell pwsh --config "~/AppData/Local/Programs/oh-my-posh/themes/blue-owl.omp.json" | Invoke-Expression

Write-PoshDebug (PowerShell) is just returning Loading personal and system profiles took 803ms. and nothing else. I'm posting the result of Write-PoshDebug below

What OS are you seeing the problem on?

Windows

Which shell are you using?

powershell

[prokopto-dev]

@sravanpannala : Now I haven't looked into this on Windows at all yet, but I noted that the homebrew-methods via Linux and MacOS now have a /share/ subfolder added before the /themes/; this causes older paths to fail when referencing the internal theme folder.

If you recently updated oh-my-posh, that may be part of the issue at hand.

Otherwise, it may be worth digging into further.

I suggest that because it looks like the system isn't passing anything to the parser; since they're simply JSON files, I'd be hard pressed to think of a way that it'd be broken other than:

• Theme being misplaced
• Parser is broken

[sravanpannala]

That is true, oh-my-posh stopped working after the recent update. I don't think it is a path issue because I'm referencing the path location directly without using variables: ~/AppData/Local/Programs/oh-my-posh/themes/blue-owl.omp.json. I have verified that the file exists in the location.

[prokopto-dev]

Okay; I’ll have a look at what I can find; On that note: What version of windows are you using? I’ll boot up my windows box and see if I can’t emulate or reproduce and debug.

I'm using Windows 10 Home Version: 10.0.19044 Build 19044 PowerShell 7.2.1

[JanDeDobbeleer]

@CapularisPerpetua when the parser fails it prints that error, this actually implies that the flag isn't set. In any other case it will print the actual issue. @sravanpannala are you certain the hyphens are correct? As there are different hyphens out there.

[sravanpannala]

I think the hyphens are correct because they worked before. This problem started only 2 days ago.

[sravanpannala]

I tried reinstalling oh-my-posh via different methods. Chocolatey and Winget still didn't work. Installing it via Install-Module oh-my-posh -Scope CurrentUser solved the issue and I can set themes now.

[sravanpannala]

I think I figured out what the issue is: I was setting the path to the config files earlier as "~/AppData/Local/Programs/oh-my-posh/themes/blue-owl.omp.json" Changing it to "C:/Users/pansr/AppData/Local/Programs/oh-my-posh/themes/blue-owl.omp.json" solved the issue. I think something changed in the code which refers to the home folder. So now the home folder is not showing the home icon

[prokopto-dev]

Interesting. So its now asking for absolute paths... sounds like something somewhere isn't expanding as expected.

[JanDeDobbeleer]

@CapularisPerpetua @sravanpannala you can't expand ~ from golang without replacing it. Which is what we do.

[JanDeDobbeleer]

@sravanpannala I tried to reproduce your issue and it's simply impossible.

To resolve the HOME path we validate the following. Can you provide the output of these env vars?

• $env:HOME
• $env:HOMEPATH
• $env:HOMEDRIVE
• $env:USERPROFILE

[kennedy]

For those who installed oh-my-posh with scoop, make sure your $PROFILE is using $(scoop prefix oh-my-posh)

oh-my-posh --init --shell pwsh --config "$(scoop prefix oh-my-posh)\themes\robbyrussel.omp.json" | Invoke-Expression

[JanDeDobbeleer]

@kennedy I'm looking to restructure the docs so these elements can be easily added. It's a limitation of docusaurus that you can't yet work with variables.

[KevinGastelum]

I'm having the same problem with Windows Terminal defaulting back to its basic look each time I close it. ``

[JanDeDobbeleer]

@KevinGastelum did you add the oh-my-posh init line to your PowerShell profile or shell specific rc file?

[JanDeDobbeleer]

@sravanpannala can you share the output of oh-my-posh --config "~/AppData/Local/Programs/oh-my-posh/themes/blue-owl.omp.json" --shell pwsh --print-init

Regarding the home variables:

$env:HOME
C:\SPB_Data
$env:HOMEPATH
\Users\pansr
$env:HOMEDRIVE
C:
$env:USERPROFILE
C:\Users\pansr

[KevinGastelum]

@JanDeDobbeleer I did, but when I start my windows terminal I get "The term 'oh-my-posh' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program."

[JanDeDobbeleer]

@KevinGastelum if you installed using the PowerShell module, make sure to also import it first to set the PATH correctly.

[JanDeDobbeleer]

@sravanpannala this is key (seems correct at first sight):

$omp_config = "C:\SPB_Data\AppData\Local\Programs\oh-my-posh\themes\blue-owl.omp.json"
if (Test-Path $omp_config) {
    $env:POSH_THEME = (Resolve-Path -Path $omp_config).ProviderPath
}

In your shell, what's the value of $env:POSH_THEME?

[sravanpannala]

The value is

C:\Users\pansr\AppData\Local\Programs\oh-my-posh\themes\jblab_2021.omp.json

because I'm setting it explicitly

oh-my-posh --init --shell pwsh --config "C:/Users/pansr/AppData/Local/Programs/oh-my-posh/themes/jblab_2021.omp.json" | Invoke-Expression

[JanDeDobbeleer]

@sravanpannala ah ok, but that worked, right? I'm looking for the case it doesn't work like in oh-my-posh --config "~/AppData/Local/Programs/oh-my-posh/themes/blue-owl.omp.json" --shell pwsh --print-init because if it resolves I have no idea what's going wrong here.

[JanDeDobbeleer]

@sravanpannala can you try again on the latest release (7.28.1)?

[jbonnier]

Could it be a problem with ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bashrc and ~/.profile . If .profile or .bash_profile exists and these files are not loading .bashrc, you might have this kind of problem. Some files might take precedence over others.

[sravanpannala]

@JanDeDobbeleer It is working with the latest version 7.29.0. Also I think some program changed my home path as I referred before:

$env:HOME
C:\SPB_Data

Changing it back to

$env:HOME
C:\Users\pansr

Solved the issue. You can close this issue. Thanks a lot for your help. I learnt a lot during this

[icaroperetti]

Hey guys. I'm having a issue with oh-my-posh if i execute oh-my-posh --init --shell pwsh --config "~/AppData/Local/Programs/oh-my-posh/themes/robbyrussel.omp.json" | Invoke-Expression it change the theme, but if I close my terminal again the old theme is set. I tried configuring robbyrussel theme in $PROFILE too

[JanDeDobbeleer]

@icaroperetti what do you have in your $PROFILE?

[icaroperetti]

I solved adding the following command in my $PROFILE oh-my-posh --init --shell pwsh --config "~/AppData/Local/Programs/oh-my-posh/themes/the-unnamed.omp.json" | Invoke-Expression

[SpaceTesla]

I solved adding de following command in my $PROFILE oh-my-posh --init --shell pwsh --config "~/AppData/Local/Programs/oh-my-posh/themes/the-unnamed.omp.json" | Invoke-Expression

Well, I tried this and it still didn't work for me. I get this output (@(& 'C:/Users/shiva/scoop/apps/oh-my-posh/current/bin/oh-my-posh.exe' init pwsh --config='C:\Users\shiva\scoop\apps\oh-my-posh\current\themes\jandedobbeleer.omp.json' --print) -join "n") | Invoke-Expression`

What should I do to fix this?

[icaroperetti]

https://github.com/icaroperetti/oh-my-posh-config-windows I added everything I've done in this repository. If you want to try to see if it works

[JanDeDobbeleer]

@SpaceTesla I have the impression you forgot to add Invoke-Expression to the init line, please go through the guide and follow everything to the letter. There aren't that many steps.

@JanDeDobbeleer, default PowerShell 5 for Windows 11. The automation in 7 is starting to trip me up instead of help me.

@JanDeDobbeleer, cancel. My $PROFILE was referencing a conflicting theme.

[ask-sup]

Greetings. The problem persists up to this day. Basically, i've installed oh-my-posh from scoop and $evn:POSH_THEMES_PATH variable contains a wrong path. It misses one folder - "Program". As previously mentioned i've used a longer path from %AppData% entry point and it worked

oh-my-posh init pwsh --config "~\AppData\Local\Programs\oh-my-posh\themes\paradox.omp.json" | Invoke-Expression

I'm new to this stuff. Tring to start coding. Found the doode from "dev as life" channel and going through his guide about fancy pwshell settings. Fascinating.

There IS definitely something funky going on with the pwshell paths. pwshell ignores the system env path.

[ask-sup]

I guess i've found the source of this issue. It's in the initial install script. There is no "$env:HOME" variable anymore.

I think i got it completely fixed by manually correcting the "POSH_PATH" environment variable in pwshell User scope by executing this command:

[Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable('POSH_PATH', 'C:\Users\askela\AppData\Local\Programs\oh-my-posh', 'User')

It had auto-corrected "POSH_THEMES_PATH" variable and my custom profile theme statement "$env:POSH_THEMES_PATH\paradox.omp.json" worked automatically after terminal restart as it should.

[JanDeDobbeleer]

@kennedy wait a minute, you're on a VERY old version. Please follow the upgrade guide because that's no longer supported at all.

[sanjai0py]

i changed the $PROFILE value to oh-my-posh init pwsh --config 'C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\oh-my-posh\themes\robbyrussell.omp.json' | Invoke-Expression and it worked
