Error in new install: prompt_dir

[forrie]

Just installed this on a fresh installation of oh-my-zsh, getting this error when switching to the Powerlevel10k theme:

prompt_dir:30: character not in range  ✔  564  13:37:12

[romkatv]

You probably need to add export LANG=<something> to the top of your ~/.zshrc. Try these values:

export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.utf8
export LANG=C.UTF-8

[forrie]

This has no effect on the error, unfortunately.

[romkatv]

Try to combine it with export LC_ALL=<same-value>. If this doesn't help, then remove both lines, create a new terminal window, paste the following command and send me the output:

{
  locale
  uname -a
  typeset LANG ZSH_VERSION ZSH_PATCHLEVEL
  typeset -m LC_\*
  locale -a
}

[forrie]

This changed a bit. It still feels off. I can't post screenshots here, so here's a link to the prompt; a screenshot I took:

https://pasteboard.co/Iiv0n7g.png

So to clarify, in my .zshrc I now have:

export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 export LANG=en_US.utf8 export LANG=C.UTF-8 export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 export LC_ALL=en_US.utf8 export LC_ALL=C.UTF-8

[romkatv]

I can't post screenshots here

You can drag-and-drop images to the edit box when commenting on GitHub. pasteboard.co also works, so up to you.

So to clarify, in my .zshrc I now have:

export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 export LANG=en_US.utf8 export LANG=C.UTF-8 export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 export LC_ALL=en_US.utf8 export LC_ALL=C.UTF-8

Thanks for clarifying. You don't need to set the same variable more than once. Please replace these six lines with these two:

export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8

If after this the theme still doesn't work, it's likely a font problem. Have you installed a powerline font? If not, you can either install one or use Pure Power config. I cannot recommend the latter option enough. You'll avoid so many problems by using Pure Power config.

[forrie]

First, thanks for responding so quickly on a Saturday.

I installed all the fonts; I'm on a Mac (Mojave) so I just installed them all via Fontbook. I switched iTerm's font from Monaco to Robo Mono Medium for Powerlevel, I'm still getting some funky characters at the end (right) of the prompt.

[romkatv]

This type of brokenness is interesting. I've never seen this before. Could you type get_icon_names and attach a screenshot of the output?

[forrie]

This is the output, below. It's referencing PowerLevel9k tho, where I set this to PowerLevel10k -- may just be naming and has no difference.

I'm using iTerm on MacOS, so not the default terminal app (which I loathe).

[romkatv]

Here's what I'm seeing in your reply:

This looks broken. It's supposed to look like this:

Was it broken by GitHub or does it look broken in your terminal as well?

[forrie]

Yeah, it's definitely broken in my terminal. Not showing up like that at all. For testing, I opened up Terminal.app and this is what I see there, too. Some of it still seems off. It may be that there are multiple issues -- ie: with iTerm itself and a config in the system. I've not modified anything, I've always used iTerm and Monaco as the font.

Here's what the prompt looks like in Terminal.app:

[romkatv]

OK, we have different issues here. The first is that your iTerm cannot display unicode characters, even those that don't require patched fonts. This isn't related to Powerlevel10k or even ZSH. You can try the following. Run bash from iTerm and type echo $'\u2714'. It should output heavy check mark. If it doesn't, you need to figure out a way to fix it. I'm not a Mac user, so I'm of little help here.

The problem with Terminal.app is more mundane and something I've seen many times. The font isn't Powerline. Once again, you can either install a Powerline font or (very highly recommended) use a config that doesn't require a Powerline font and is also better on pretty much every metric. You can apply it by running these commands:

( cd && curl -fsSLO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/romkatv/dotfiles-public/master/.purepower )
echo 'source ~/.purepower' >>! ~/.zshrc

Once you do this, you'll get a functional font in Terminal.app.

[forrie]

iTerm has a character encoding config available. Mine is set to "Western (ASCII)" which is probably the problem. But there are a ton of options including unicode. I don't know which Unicode to set it to, tho.

[romkatv]

Try UTF-8. Also delete the export lines from your ~/.zshrc config that you added earlier. They shouldn't be necessary if your terminal is set up correctly.

[forrie]

I performed the CURL above for Terminal.app, and it seemed to do something, but I ended up with just a prompt of "> ".

Afterward I tried ZSH from iTerm and got this:

I guess I'm just not going to be able to use this one LOL Or I need to dig more with iTerm and figure out what its problem is.

[romkatv]

I performed the CURL above for Terminal.app, and it seemed to do something, but I ended up with just a prompt of "> ".

Could you send a screenshot of this prompt?

Afterward I tried ZSH from iTerm and got this:

iTerm still cannot display unicode characters. Before attempting to use Powerlevel10k from iTerm, please first ensure that the terminal can print unicode characters. First, type bash. Then type echo $'\u2714'. It should output heavy check mark. If it doesn't, there is a problem in your terminal that is not related to Powerlevel10k or ZSH. You have to fix it.

[forrie]

I appear to have goofed the UTF-8 mod. I didn't do this for the default "shell" profile, which I just did and now I get the check mark. You can see the prompt I have now here:

[romkatv]

Good! It works now. The prompt looks as expected. You can find the description of every prompt element here: https://github.com/romkatv/dotfiles-public/blob/master/.purepower#L33. You can modify your local copy of ~/.purepower to customize it, although even with the default config it's a great prompt.

[forrie]

Awesome. Thank you for your help (and patience).

[romkatv]

Glad to be of help!
