Zplug: [v2] ZPLUG_SHALLOW is deprecated

[asymmetric]

After the v2 merge, I always get this error on startup:

[zplug] WARNING: ZPLUG_SHALLOW is deprecated. Please use 'export ZPLUG_CLONE_DEPTH=1' instead.

I can reproduce this with the following minimal .zhsrc:

source ~/.zplug/init.zsh
zplug "b4b4r07/zplug"
zplug check || zplug install
zplug load --verbose

I have removed the cache and the completion file, and this is a fresh zplug install (e.g. I nuked the previous ~/.zplug)

tachikoma% uname -a

tachikoma% zsh --version
zsh 5.1.1 (x86_64-ubuntu-linux-gnu)

I also have to say that I wasn't expecting to upgrade to v2, I just wanted to update my packages - maybe the upgrade can be made opt-in?

Thanks!

@asymmetric Hi,

We actually recommend you to upgrade to v2 but if you don't want to do so you can just use v1:

zplug "b4b4r07/zplug", at:v1

[asymmetric]

Hi b4b4r07, the actual problem (having [zplug] WARNING: ZPLUG_SHALLOW is deprecated. Please use 'export ZPLUG_CLONE_DEPTH=1' instead. on every shell) hasn't been fixed though - why was the issue closed?

[b4b4r07]

Did you want to update v2 or not? I closed because I thought you wanted to use v1.

[asymmetric]

Yes, I am running v2, and the problem is only happening since I upgraded.

[b4b4r07]

As the error suggests, you cannot use ZPLUG_SHALLOW because it's deprecated. Please run unset ZPLUG_SHALLOW.

The thing is I don't set it myself anywhere, as far as I know. As I said, it's a fresh zplug v2 install.

Any ideas where I could look for it?

[b4b4r07]

I'm not sure but I think it doesn't matter if it's fresh zplug or not because the ZPLUG_SHALLOW is exported to other processes.

[asymmetric]

OK, a reboot has fixed it, so this seems to be a transient problem for people upgrading from to v1 to v2. It was for me anyway.

[b4b4r07]

I'm glad that it's fixed. Tell us anytime if something happened.

[asymmetric]

Do you think it would make sense to have a unset ZPLUG_SHALLOW in http://git.io/zplug?

[NigoroJr]

As you mentioned earlier, it is just a transient issue. I believe restarting the shell (or tmux if you're using it) would fix the problem, so I don't think it's necessary.
