Oh My Posh not starting for cmd

[aqtoo]

Code of Conduct

• I agree to follow this project's Code of Conduct

What happened?

When following the documentation for getting this working with clink, after opening cmd it seemingly just does nothing, trying to run oh-my-posh init cmd it just spews out code and does nothing, almost like its just printing something.

This is after a fresh install of oh-my-posh and clink, following purely the documentation instructions on a regular windows terminal install.

Theme

I've tried without a theme to no avail, but the theme I'm attempting to use is

load(io.popen('oh-my-posh init cmd --config C:\Users\Lew\AppData\Local\Programs\oh-my-posh\themes\1_shell.omp.json'):read("*a"))()

What OS are you seeing the problem on?

Windows

Which shell are you using?

cmd

[JanDeDobbeleer]

@ac-tu this isn't a bug but a configuration issue. Did you add the correct init line to your clink scripts folder?

[aqtoo]

When looking at the scripts folder, theres seemingly two, I've put the oh-my-posh.lua in both, to no avail.

[notcooler]

Is this fixed or not, because i have the exact same issue

[JanDeDobbeleer]

This is a configuration issue on the user' end. Did you follow the installation guide?

[notcooler]

I mean my situation is the same as @aqtoo, i am pretty sure i followed everything. I've checked and clink works. I think there is a problem where the oh-my-posh init cmd -c "path" command doesnt work.

[JanDeDobbeleer]

@notcooler that definitely works as I have that one on my machine (which only has that line) and no other reports are flowing in. Also nothing changed in that area.

[notcooler]

@JanDeDobbeleer I just wrote a whole damn thing to explain my situation and found i needed double backslahes in the path \ because it lua. Classis windows typo stuff, but thanks anyway
