Prezto: Clean Install and Post Install Errors

[dephora]

Description

After upgrading zsh to 5.4.1 I started experiencing errors so blew everything related to Prezto away and did a clean install (following the install instructions).

During the install, the only issue was with the autosuggestion commit being invalid so that failed.
error: no such remote ref de795f7dd92382a8489bd355e1d1e648ecb4ad37 Fetched in submodule path 'modules/autosuggestions/external', but it did not contain de795f7dd92382a8489bd355e1d1e648ecb4ad37. Direct fetching of that commit failed.

Expected behavior

No errors.

Actual behavior

Couldn't read file /Users/matt/.zprezto/modules/prompt/functions/prompt_agnoster_setup containing theme agnoster.
Couldn't read file /Users/matt/.zprezto/modules/prompt/functions/prompt_powerline_setup containing theme powerline.
Couldn't read file /Users/matt/.zprezto/modules/prompt/functions/prompt_pure_setup containing theme pure.

prompt_sorin_setup:9: async: function definition file not found

prompt_sorin_setup:39: command not found: async_start_worker

prompt_sorin_setup:40: command not found: async_register_callback

prompt_sorin_precmd:8: command not found: async_flush_jobs                               

prompt_sorin_precmd:21: command not found: async_job

I see from the latest commit and #1423 that those prompts throwing errors are in progress,
however the prompt/external/async is empty after the install resulting in the errors above.

After pulling it down manually from https://github.com/mafredri/zsh-async/tree/28c7a644227a5ad7249193525ef27734781f6a63, the async errors are resolved.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Delete everything Prezto
2. Follow install guide on main page.
3. ...

Versions

• Prezto commit: 24e5e49ff299dab1e3f854c89009270fc8580e5c (master)
• ZSH version: 5.4.1
• OS information: Sierra 10.12.6

I am able to reproduce this issue.

This was a mistake caused by 24e5e49ff299dab1e3f854c89009270fc8580e5c where a number of submodules got updated to in-progress hashes which only exist in my repos. I've reverted that commit and correctly re-applied the patch, so everything should be fixed now.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks for the quick response!

I just did a clean install on Msys2 and I reproduced the issue. Any workarround?

I guess you could try running git submodule sync --recursive. For me everything works as expected but I also have to admit that I am using a slightly different installation routine.

[abelsromero]

That's what I got, I suspect it has something to do with with som symlink related to async_* not being created. I need to dig more

It seems like the submodule async is not initialized, even if it is going to be synchronized. You can also try to run the update command from the Readme, e.g. git submodule update --init --recursive for the whole repository or that specific path ~/.zprezto/modules/prompt/external/async. You can also check before if it already exists: ls -la ~/.zprezto/modules/prompt/external.

My external directory includes: agnoster, async, powerlevel9k, powerline and pure

[abelsromero]

All files are there.
I could fix async initialitzation replacing the path in functions\async with a relative path to my home.
But even with that I get this when opening a shell.

prompt_sorin_async_tasks:4: command not found: async_start_worker
prompt_sorin_async_tasks:5: command not found: async_register_callback
prompt_sorin_async_tasks:10: command not found: async_flush_jobs
prompt_sorin_async_tasks:13: command not found: async_job

I added a couple of "echo" (before & after) commands arround async_start_work and apparently it is being processed before sorin, but it still complains the method does not exists. This is what I see.

after
prompt_sorin_async_tasks:4: command not found: async_start_worker
prompt_sorin_async_tasks:5: command not found: async_register_callback
prompt_sorin_async_tasks:10: command not found: async_flush_jobs
prompt_sorin_async_tasks:13: command not found: async_job

Thanks a lot for your time, but it could be some bug in Msys implementation, so maybe is time to give up.
