[bug]: compinit insecure directories warning can not be silenced.

[cocoonkid]

What happened?

I have at the beginning of my .zshrc autoload -Uz compinit bashcompinit && compinit -u && bashcompinit && zmodload -i zsh/complist the -u works here apparently but as soon as

if [[ ! -f $HOME/.local/share/zinit/zinit.git/zinit.zsh ]]; then
    print -P "%F{33} %F{220}Installing %F{33}ZDHARMA-CONTINUUM%F{220} Initiative Plugin Manager (%F{33}zdharma-continuum/zinit%F{220})…%f"
    command mkdir -p "$HOME/.local/share/zinit" && command chmod g-rwX "$HOME/.local/share/zinit"
    command git clone https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/zinit "$HOME/.local/share/zinit/zinit.git" && \
        print -P "%F{33} %F{34}Installation successful.%f%b" || \
        print -P "%F{160} The clone has failed.%f%b"
fi

source "$HOME/.local/share/zinit/zinit.git/zinit.zsh"

autoload -Uz _zinit
(( ${+_comps} )) && _comps[zinit]=_zinit

I get the prompt again.

I am running this in an automated fashion for a multiuser system so the directories are known and the risk is accepted.

but no matter what I tried I cannot silence the warning appearing when sourcing the zinit.sh

I also tried ZSH_DISABLE_COMPFIX=true in various sourced files, as export , in seperate files sourced at the beginning.

Please let me know how I can silence it globally for zinit.

I found Znap allows something like

zstyle '*:compinit' arguments -D -i -u -C -w

@cocoonkid,

This is possible in Zinit as well and is documented in the README.md.

typeset -gAH ZINIT=(HOME_DIR "$HOME/.local/share/zinit" COMPINIT_OPTS '-D -i -u -C -w')

if [[ ! -e "$ZINIT[HOME_DIR]/zinit.git/zinit.zsh" ]]; then
    print -P "%F{33}%F{220}Installing %F{33}ZDHARMA-CONTINUUM%F{220} Initiative Plugin Manager (%F{33}zdharma-continuum/zinit%F{220})…%f"
    command mkdir -p "$ZINIT[HOME_DIR]" && command chmod g-rwX "$ZINIT[HOME_DIR]"
    command git clone https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/zinit "$ZINIT[HOME_DIR]/zinit.git" && \
        print -P "%F{33}%F{34}Installation successful.%f%b" || \
        print -P "%F{160}The clone has failed.%f%b"
fi

source "$ZINIT[HOME_DIR]/zinit.git/zinit.zsh"

autoload -Uz _zinit
(( ${+_comps} )) && _comps[zinit]=_zinit
