Spaceship-prompt: SPACESHIP_DIRECTORY_PREFIX does not show on new window

[aaronkjones]

Current behavior

When loading a new terminal or creating a new tmux window, Spaceship directory prefix does not load until zshrc is sourced.

Expected behavior

Directory prefix loads on new terminal or new tmux window.

Relevant Zsh configuration (.zshrc)

SPACESHIP_DIR_TRUNC='1' # show only last directory
SPACESHIP_DIR_SUFFIX=" ] "
SPACESHIP_DIR_PREFIX="┌─[%b "
SPACESHIP_PROMPT_FIRST_PREFIX_SHOW=true
SPACESHIP_CHAR_SYMBOL="└─▪%b "
SPACESHIP_PROMPT_ORDER=(
  time
  user
  dir           # Current directory section
  host          # Hostname section
  git           # Git section (git_branch + git_status)
  package       # Package version
  aws           # Amazon Web Services section
  docker
  exec_time     # Execution time
  line_sep      # Line break
  battery       # Battery level and status
  vi_mode       # Vi-mode indicator
  jobs          # Background jobs indicator
  char          # Prompt character
)

Environment

Spaceship version: 3.5.0
Zsh version: 5.4.2
Zsh framework: oh-my-zsh
Zsh plugin manager: None
Terminal emulator: iTerm/Gnome-Terminal/Hyper
Operating system: macOS/Windows/Linux

Possible solution
¯_(ツ)_/¯

I pretty sure you did something wrong with an order:

All options must be overridden in your .zshrc file after the theme.

[aaronkjones]

The code from my zshrc that I included above is the last thing in the file. I will play around with changing the order.

[aaronkjones]

With no other settings I get the same result.
.zshrc

export ZSH="$HOME/.oh-my-zsh"

ZSH_THEME="spaceship" # Set theme

plugins=(
# all disabled for test
  )
autoload -U compinit && compinit 

source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh # required
source ~/.zsh/zsh-autosuggestions/zsh-autosuggestions.zsh
export ZSH_AUTOSUGGEST_HIGHLIGHT_STYLE='fg=5'

SPACESHIP_PROMPT_FIRST_PREFIX_SHOW=true

Opening a new terminal shows:

~ via ⬢ v10.8.0
➜ source ~/.zshrc

in ~ via ⬢ v10.8.0 took 2s
➜

I tried this in a VM as well with Vagrant

I was able to reproduce this. Please move SPACESHIP_PROMPT_FIRST_PREFIX_SHOW before sourcing theme.

export ZSH="$HOME/.oh-my-zsh"

SPACESHIP_PROMPT_FIRST_PREFIX_SHOW=true
ZSH_THEME="spaceship"

This would be related #407

@salmanulfarzy Thank you, that worked.

If anyone coming across this has an issue where color doesn't show until zshrc is sourced, make sure settings like SPACESHIP_DIR_PREFIX happen after the theme is sourced.

I was able to reproduce this. Please move SPACESHIP_PROMPT_FIRST_PREFIX_SHOW before sourcing theme.

Can confirm this fixed SPACESHIP_PROMPT_FIRST_PREFIX_SHOW=true for me, which wasn't working.
