_zsh_highlight_main_highlighter_highlight_list:231: array parameter in_alias created globally in function _zsh_highlight_main_highlighter_highlight_list

[xiaoxinbioinfo]

Windows Subsystem for Linux, Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS (GNU/Linux 4.4.0-19041-Microsoft x86_64)

When I run

for name in `ls`; do head -n 1 ${name}; done | cut -d"." -f 2 | grep -v ">" |less -SN

It shows

_zsh_highlight_main_highlighter_highlight_list:231: array parameter in_alias created globally in function _zsh_highlight_main_highlighter_highlight_list

Every time I typed a letter, the error message appeared. But when the command is short, such as in the for loop + less, the error message appears less often, only once or twice.

for name in `ls`; do head -n 1 ${name}; done | less -SN

Can anyone tell me how to solve this problem?

I can't reproduce the problem in latest zsh, latest zsh-syntax-highlighting, using your command in zsh -f -o WARN_CREATE_GLOBAL.

In code inspection I see no codepath that uses $in_alias without declaring it first.

Please post the output of typeset -p ZSH_VERSION ZSH_PATCHLEVEL ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_REVISION ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_VERSION. (Do not upload a screenshot; copy-paste it as text, so we can copy-paste the values on our side.)

Please confirm whether you can reproduce the bug in zsh -f -o WARN_CREATE_GLOBAL after manually running source /path/to/zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh therein.

Aside: for name in `ls`; do head -n 1 ${name}; is better written as for name in *; do head -n 1 -- "${name}";. Without this, command substitution output undergoes word splitting.

Thanks for the quick reply！

When I type typeset, the resulting content is as follows:

typeset ZSH_VERSION=5.4.2
typeset ZSH_PATCHLEVEL=ubuntu/5.4.2-3ubuntu3.1
typeset ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_REVISION=HEAD
typeset ZSH_HIGHLIGHT_VERSION=0.8.0-alpha2-dev

I have found more detailed information now: Still the command above for name in `ls`; do head -n 1 ${name}; done | l, after the for loop, as long as I type l (less alias in zsh?), the error message will be displayed once every time I type a letter afterwards.

*But when I type the command you mentioned `for name in ; do head -n 1 ${name}; done | l`, if I keep typing l, the error message above will not appear**. So, this problem may be related to what is described above. I hope this information can help you locate the problem faster.

By the way, what is the difference between the for name in *; do head -n 1 ${name}; done | l command you mentioned above and the command for name in `ls`; do head -n 1 ${name}; done | l? I don't understand what you are saying.

Thank you very much!

What's the output of the command alias?

What's the output of git diff 6e0e950154a4c6983d9e077ed052298ad9126144 in your zsh-syntax-highlighting directory?

Can you try zsh 5.8?

In a nutshell, the former is correct when filenames contain whitespace and the latter is not. See the zsh documentation for details (and the zsh support channels if you still have questions about this; it's beyond the scope of this project, I'm afraid).

The output of alias is the default output message of zsh. I didn't add anything else to it.

The output of the command git diff 6e0e950154a4c6983d9e077ed052298ad9126144 is nothing. Because I reinstalled zsh-syntax-highlighting after the error. But the error still exists.

I updated zsh to version 5.8 and the problem was solved!

Not sure exactly what the problem was, but it's good to have it back to normal. Thanks a lot!

Thanks for letting us know. I don't see a relevant change in upstream's git logs in the relevant history range.

No, it's not. The default output is the following:

$ zsh -f
% alias
run-help=man
which-command=whence

What gave you the impression that you were using zsh's default configuration?

What gave you the impression that you were using zsh's default configuration?

Because I remember that only zsh and oh-my-zsh have been configured in my configuration file. So other aliases may be added by oh-my-zsh.
