Powerline won't load

[askmrsinh]

Installed powerline-gitstatus following the instruction within the README.md file.

running powerline-lint gives

Error while checking segments (key /segments/right/list item 1/function)
  in "/home/ashesh/.config/powerline/themes/shell/default.json", line 34, column 42:

Can you double-check if the color-scheme you use includes all the new groups this segment introduces? The readme gives default.json as an example, but maybe you're using a different one?

If that isn't the issue, could you set the log-level to DEBUG and see if that gives any additional info?

[askmrsinh]

I have double checked my colorschemes and themes json files. powerline-lint -d gives the same output. What else can I try?

[jaspernbrouwer]

Again, could you set the log-level to DEBUG and see if that gives any additional info? The log file should be appended with several entries on what the segment is doing. Seeing what it did last would help pinpointing the issue. And changes are there's an actual error-message in there 😉

[askmrsinh]

Sorry, I thought powerline-lint -d would be enough. Here's the output after setting logging level to DEBUG in the config.json file.

Ok, so the real error here is No module named 'powerline_gitstatus', which basically means Python cannot find the this package.

I see you're running Powerline on Python 3.5. Can you check if the directory /usr/lib/python3.5/site-packages/powerline_gitstatus exists?

If not, it's not correctly installed. Maybe you're running multiple versions of Python, and it's installed for another version?

Hi @user501254,

As @jaspernbrouwer mentioned you probably have multiple python environments installed. On Fedora24 I had to: pip3 install powerline_gitstatus

And add the the color scheme groups to: .config/powerline/colorschemes/solarized.json

I had incorrect segment configuration, everything is working fine now. Thanks everyone :+1:
