False-positive initialization errors possible when opening multiple sessions simultaneously #8

Closed olets closed 4 years ago

olets commented 4 years ago

When multiple sessions are initializing at the same time, it's possible for the initializations to collide. Common symptoms are one terminal giving the error

util_add:source:45: no such file or directory: …/zsh-user-global-abbreviations

and another terminal giving for each user abbreviation the warning

abbr add: A matching abbreviation … already exists

These are false positives: in my testing, all sessions do end up with all the user abbreviations available.

Until this is addressed, users can work around it by letting one session load before opening another.

Fixed in 3.0.1. Still theoretically possible, but I have successfully opened ten sessions "simultaneously" (iTerm, cmdd ten times in rapid succession)
