prompt won't appear on linux

[dotlouis]

Hi, I just installed hyper-statusline and when I launch Hyper, my prompt won't appear and it's impossible for me to input anything into the terminal.

In the console i have the following error (which doesn't appear when I remove the plugin) Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'substr' of null -- bundle.js:47

Any idea why ? Thanks :)

@dotlouis Is this still an issue? ✌️

[dotlouis]

@henrikdahl I just checked with hyper 1.3.3 and latest (npm published) hyper-statusline and I still have the same issue :/

[henrikruscon]

@dotlouis Could you provide your .hyper.js config and more specifically which type of Linux? ✌️

[dotlouis]

Of course, I run hyper on Ubuntu 17.04 (zesty) and here is my .hyper.js config. Notice that I commented out any other plugin or extensions, but the problem still persists)

@dotlouis are you by chance using the fish shell? Hyper doesn't work with fish on ubutnu 17.04. I have the exact same error in the console because of fish, not because of this plugin.

See issue here: https://github.com/zeit/hyper/issues/1963

[dotlouis]

Yes I do use the fish shell, thanks for the heads up! But this error only appear when I activate this plugin which is weird. I'll close the issue since it's not related to hyper-statusline. I will follow zeit/hyper#1963
