powerlevel prints garbage as bash prompt when venv activated

[michaelmaitland]

I used ohmyzsh to install powerlevel10k. I ran p10k configure. When I activate a certain python venv and then type bash, I get the following prompt:

It looks like on the first line, there is a bad substitution at the end of the message. This does not occur if I have not activated a venv.

This is how I create the venv and trigger the issue:

$ python3 -m venv venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
$ bash # from zsh shell

Any ideas what is going on?

What happens if you disable powerlevel10k or replace it with another theme?

[michaelmaitland]

I am not using this theme in bash.

[romkatv]

Could you answer my question?

[michaelmaitland]

I uninstalled oh-my-zsh using uninstall_oh_my_zsh and removed ~/.oh-my-zsh directory.

Then I create and activate the venv and enter into bash. I get the following output:

bash: git_prompt_info: command not found
(venv) %(?:%{%}%1{➜%} :%{%}%1{➜%} ) %{%}%c%{%}

The robbyrussell ZSH_THEME is enabled.

[romkatv]

Do I understand correctly that you are experiencing the same kind of issue even when not using powerlevel10k?

[michaelmaitland]

Do I understand correctly that you are experiencing the same kind of issue even when not using powerlevel10k?

Yes, I think we should close this issue and I will open one with oh-my-zsh. Thanks for the help 👍

[romkatv]

Before you open an issue with oh-my-zsh, please verify that you are not experiencing this issue if you disable oh-my-zsh. It's very uncool to open issues against unrelated projects.

[romkatv]

I'm going to spoil your experiment: you'll find the issue is still there when you disable oh-my-zsh. The culprit is Python: https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/111501

[michaelmaitland]

Before you open an issue with oh-my-zsh, please verify that you are not experiencing this issue if you disable oh-my-zsh.

I have verified this already. In fact I verified this before I opened an issue here.

I think it was reasonable to open this issue since I verified that and the issue was occurring when the theme was enabled. My apologies for not checking whether it occur when when the theme was disabled. I should have done that before opening the issue here.

Thank you very much for sharing this!

You might want to double check it and fix whatever procedure you were following to verify this in the first place.
