Question/Issue with terminfo and alacritty

[Syphdias]

Hi Roman, I hope you are doing well!

A few months back I noticed that undercurls did not work properly in neovim. They were just white lines instead of red undercurls.

I found https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/21182 and thought I found a way to fix it. But after a while it appeared again. But at least I knew how to "fix" it. Two things seem to work:

• deleting ~/.terminfo/a/alacritty or
• copying over the terminfo form the package /usr/share/terminfo/a/alacritty to ~/.terminfo/a/alacritty

Today I discovered what reverted to the broken state: z4h update. There is one line that looks suspicious to me:

z4h: updating terminfo

This is probably not z4h itself but using terminfo that does something or the zsh/terminfo module. I couldn't trigger the breakage without z4h update though. I do not know where to report this properly. The core issue could be in a bunch of places.

Thanks for the bug report. Should be fixed now. Please run z4h update and let me know if it works for you.

[Syphdias]

Jup, that worked. Thank you!

Why do you use your own database of terminfos? Is that for compatibility or maybe used for z4h ssh?

[romkatv]

This is mainly for z4h ssh: servers are often lacking terminfo definitions for exotic terminals like alacritty or tmux-256color.

Sorry :wink:
