Starship: zsh starship doesn't use config file.

[alex0112]

Current Behavior

None of my starship config symbols show up. (Like the lambda etc.)

Expected Behavior

The symbols and customizations defined in my starship config file at .config/starship.toml to have an effect on what my prompt looks like.

Additional context/Screenshots

I use this exact config file on another machine and it works great. A lot of the symbols won't show up well on web, but I can see them in my terminal with the proper fonts installed. The only difference I can see between one setup and the other is that the working one uses bash while the broken one uses zsh. Other than that they are identical as far as I can tell. I've tried setting the starship config file to another path with the same contents but to no avail.

Possible Solution

=\ I'm stumped sorry.

Environment

• Starship version: 0.41.3
• zsh version: zsh 5.7.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin19.0)
• Operating system: Mac OS 10.15.5
• Terminal emulator: iTerm.app 3.3.11

Relevant Shell Configuration

source ~/.aliases


alias ls='lsd'
alias ll='ls -l'
alias la='ll -a'
alias lt='lsd --tree'

export STARSHIP_CONFIG=~/.config/starship.toml ## Tried with and without this line
export PATH=/Users/mecargo/bin:$PATH

eval "$(starship init zsh)"

Hey @alex0112 👋

Hmm... Everything in your configuration looks correct.

Could you please try running the following and sharing the log output with us:

RUST_LOG=starship starship prompt

It's hard to spot but I think the problem is you have [memory_usage] defined twice in the config file which is invalid in toml. I'll open a PR to add some additional logging around this to make it easier to spot these errors in the future.

[alex0112]

That was the problem. Thanks for the quick reply!
