LS colors aren't showing correctly #256

Closed CarlosMed closed 5 years ago

So when doing ls + space + tab for completions the colors seem to be that green color making it pretty much unreadable.

Meanwhile doing just a ls + enter the colors become that beige/yellow color. Was wondering if theres a fix? If it might be Oh-My-ZSH or the Geometry theme.

I am using iTerm2 as my terminal of choice with Atom color preset.

That is definitely a iterm2 or oh-my-zsh issue. oh-my-zsh ships with a not great version of some zsh autocomplete plugin usually. Can you reproduce this with a minimal zshrc, something like

# ~/.zshrc-issue-256-carlosmed
source /path/to/geometry-zsh/geometry/geometry.plugin.zsh
fpath+=/path/to/geometry-zsh/geometry/
PATH=/path/to/geometry-zsh/geometry:$PATH

and run with

zsh --no-rcs --no-globalrcs --login -c "~/.zshrc-issue-256-carlosmed"

also congrats on nabbing issue 0x100 :)

So I actually figured out the reason why. It has to do with setting the permissions set on folders and file. If you give it a chmod 777 <folder> you get the ugly colors. but if you set it to chmod 755 <folder> you'll have the correct coloration.

From my research it seems that the way Mac sets LS colors is not so well which cause the weird colors. I am going to check the above that you posted though and see if it achieves anything but as far as a fix its the above.
