Encountering an error trying to load powerlevel10k with oh-my-zsh

[jsonMartin]

Hi, I'm using oh-my-zsh, and I can't get this to work.

This is the error I'm getting: ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/themes/powerlevel10k/powerlevel10k.zsh-theme:77: unknown condition: -v

I've tried to both add the source ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/themes/powerlevel10k/powerlevel10k.zsh-theme, as well as doing it the oh-my-zsh way of setting ZSH_THEME="powerlevel10k/powerlevel10k". Both are giving me the same error.

Any help would be appreciated, looking forward to trying this!

We can sort it but I'll need a bit more info. Please run the following command and send me its complete output.

zsh -ic 'uname -a && zsh --version && set | grep -E "^POWERLEVEL9K"' 2>&1

[romkatv]

@jsonMartin I can fix the issue if you could provide the information I asked for.

[jsonMartin]

Hi @romkatv , here's the output from the command:

Linux DESKTOP-UJTUCJH 4.4.0-17763-Microsoft #253-Microsoft Mon Dec 31 17:49:00 PST 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
zsh 5.1.1 (x86_64-ubuntu-linux-gnu)
Binary file (standard input) matches

[romkatv]

Your zsh is very old. You need at least version 5.2. Please run sudo apt update -y && sudo apt upgrade -y.

[romkatv]

I highly recommending upgrading to Ubuntu 18.04. You can either nuke the current distribution and install the new "ubuntu" distribution in WSL from scratch, or do an inplace upgrade (backup important data first!):

sudo bash -xc "
  apt-get update -y &&
  apt upgrade -y &&
  apt-mark hold procps strace sudo &&
  RELEASE_UPGRADER_NO_SCREEN=1 do-release-upgrade"

The last step will take a while.

[jsonMartin]

@romkatv OK, I tried the apt update and upgrade commands, but after doing all of that it says that my zsh is at the newest version: zsh is already the newest version (5.1.1-1ubuntu2.3).

Upgrading to 18.04 sounds like a good idea, I will look into doing that when I have some time and a better internet connection. If I install from scratch, I'm assuming I will have to re-install all my linux packages?

[romkatv]

If I install from scratch, I'm assuming I will have to re-install all my linux packages?

Yes. If the only thing you need to reinstall is the packages, then I think it'll be faster to reinstall the whole distro. It's more reliable, too.

[romkatv]

I documented that zsh prior to 5.2 isn't supported. Closing the issue. Please reopen if Powerlevel10k still don't work after you upgrade zsh.

UPDATE: solved it by ensuring that Mac OS uses homebrew's zsh 5.7 instead of the default OS zsh:

sudo dscl . -create /Users/$USER UserShell /usr/local/bin/zsh

Thank you for this! Makes something that I already love even more love-worthy. Kudos!

[mnekkach]

Hi,

I have the same problem, but zsh version is zsh 5.7.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin16.7.0) and it is not a old version.

When I want to use @nullset2 command the problem is always present.

The command :

zsh -ic 'uname -a && zsh --version && set | grep -E "^POWERLEVEL9K"' 2>&1

return :

zsh -ic 'uname -a && zsh --version && set | grep -E "^POWERLEVEL9K"' 2>&1

Any help would be appreciated, thank a lot.

[romkatv]

You are likely running some other version of zsh when sourcing powerlevel10k. I added extra diagnostics that should help you figure out what's going on. Please update powerlevel10k and try again.

[ghost]

@romkatv Hi, thank you for great OSS.

I face this error with 5.8.

You are using ZSH version 5.8. The minimum required version for Powerlevel10k is 5.1.
Type 'echo $ZSH_VERSION' to see your current zsh version.
The shell you are currently running is likely /usr/local/Cellar/zsh/5.8/bin/zsh.

[ghost]

@romkatv Oh, excuse me. This might be wrong.

I did brew install zsh, then it installs two zsh.

lrwxr-xr-x    25 kohei.murakami 2020-10-31 13:44 zsh -> ../Cellar/zsh/5.8/bin/zsh
lrwxr-xr-x    29 kohei.murakami 2020-10-31 13:44 zsh-5.8 -> ../Cellar/zsh/5.8/bin/zsh-5.8

If I use zsh-5.8, it worked. I don't know why, I have never experienced wrong by using /usr/local/bin/zsh, but anyway it worked.

I'm gonna check brew side.

[romkatv]

Here is this.

~p10k.log~

This log indicates that everything is fine. Powerlevel10k loads successfully without errors. Can you confirm that starting /usr/local/Cellar/zsh/5.8/bin/zsh works fine too?

[ghost]

@romkatv

Thank you for checking, and now, /usr/local/Cellar/zsh/5.8/bin/zsh also works.....

I really can't reproduce this error, but I describe how I encountered the error below.

1. I started new Mac with factory-reset-OS.
2. I did brew install zsh and sudo chsh -s /usr/local/bin/zsh.
3. I typed zsh here, and I think I encountered the error here.

Maybe at 2nd step, zsh doesn't work right because I didn't logout...? Anyway thank you for checking.

[bwendell]

For anyone seeing this error in the future:

You are using ZSH version 5.8. The minimum required version for Powerlevel10k is 5.1.
Type 'echo $ZSH_VERSION' to see your current zsh version.
The shell you are currently running is likely <path>.

Rather than starting a new session by typing zsh, I had to completely exit my terminal session and then it worked.

[romkatv]

This kind of error is caused by a misconfiguration of FPATH. The usual reason is when you wipe out FPATH completely. If this is done, autoloadable functions that ship with zsh won't be found. This includes is-at-least -- an autoloadable function that powerlevel10k uses to figure out which version of zsh it's being interpreted with.

I just pushed a commit that will survive broken FPATH. Your shell will still be broken of course and you might get a ton of errors from random places. At least those errors will not come from powerlevel10k.
