Spaceship-prompt: (#q) glob qualifier doesn't work for zsh 5.0.5

[nfischer]

Issue

It looks like we're using [[ -n *.php(#qN) ]] (with setopt extendedglob) to determine if any php files exist (and using similar methods for other languages).

Unfortunately, this feature wasn't added until after 5.0.5:

• 5.0.5 was released 2014-01-05 (changelog)
• (#q) support was added 2014-06-01 (changelog)

This causes weird issues. For example, if you have php installed on your system, you'll always see the php version in the shell prompt, even if there are no .php files. This is because [[ -n *.php(#qN) ]] will always return true.

I don't know if there's a good alternative way to check for files, so you may just want to specify a higher minimum zsh version.

Environment

Operating system: Linux
Terminal emulator: gnome-terminal, tmux v2.5
ZSH version: zsh 5.0.5 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)

Relevant .zshrc

I've reproduced this with a minimal zshrc (includes only zplug and spaceship).

What version of zsh do you suggest as minimum version ?

[nfischer]

I think 5.0.6 has the change.

@salmanulfarzy please, can you check and update the zsh version in the badge and requirements section?

[salmanulfarzy]

I think it'll be safe to require 5.2, Which so far works good with theme.

Closed since Spaceship now requires at least 5.0.6
