Cupcake theme not working

[R4miZ1z]

I am getting these errors when using the 'cupcake' theme. I have changed the .sh file for this theme and tried to change the branch icon to a number of things without a change in error, I have also uninstalled and reinstalled oh-my-bash to no avail. Any idea why I may be getting these errors? I am not very big on technical knowledge but will try my best to assist with any requests.

Thank you for the report. It seems there are similar reports, but I cannot reproduce the problem in my environment somehow.

• Q1: What is your Bash version? The current Bash version can be checked with echo "$BASH_VERSION". (Note that bash --version is unreliable because it can pick up another version of Bash, which is different from the one of the current session.)
• Q2: What is your operating system or/and the distribution?
• Q3: Does the situation of the error messages change when you rewrite the .sh file in the following way? (Note: This is just for testing purposes. I'm not requesting to use the rewritten version for daily use.)

Thank you for your reply, and sorry for the blank. For Q3..Q5, I wanted to know the status of the error message you reported, but not really the appearance of the prompt. Did you imply that error messages went away with the setups of Q3..Q5?

[R4miZ1z]

Hello, sorry for the extremely late reply, I ran these tests once again, Q3 and Q4 work as shown in the above pictures from my last reply with no errors shown. Q5 is different from the above picture and is now showing nothing. No errors are being shown on any of them however.

Q5 is different from the above picture and is now showing nothing.

I think in the previous time, you tried something like '\$([[ -n $(echo x) ]] && echo "")' instead of '$([[ -n $(echo x) ]] && echo "")'. This small difference affects the whole debugging procedure, so I suggest you to copy and paste the added parts of diffs instead of manually editing for the next questions.

Q3 and Q4 work as shown in the above pictures from my last reply with no errors shown. Q5 is different from the above picture and is now showing nothing. No errors are being shown on any of them however.

Thank you! That means that the settings in Q3..Q5 are working in expected ways. The problem is related to something removed in Q3, i.e., \n${icon_start}$(_omb_prompt_print_python_venv)${icon_user}${_omb_prompt_bold_brown}\u${_omb_prompt_normal}${icon_host}${_omb_prompt_bold_teal}\h${_omb_prompt_normal}${icon_directory}${_omb_prompt_bold_purple}\W${_omb_prompt_normal}. We may bisect this part. Could you try the similar for the following Q6..Q8?

Q6 resulted in the following errors, these match the errors that I initially received at the start of this issue request.

Q7 resulted in no errors with the branch icon being shown correctly and everything.

Q8 once again resulted in no errors and showed the branch icon without the branch name ofc.

Thank you! So it seems to be related to emoji characters.
