git async prompt does not appear

[carlosala]

Same problems as OP:

Before:

After:

theme: https://github.com/sobolevn/sobole-zsh-theme
zsh version: 5.9 (x86_64-debian-linux-gnu)
git version: 2.39.2
Debian GNU/Linux 12

I see, your theme uses a custom function print git information. We didn't take into account this situation. It's reproducible as well with minimal theme bundled in oh-my-zsh.

@mcornella we need to find a new way of discovering that it's indeed being used. Maybe with a fd or something like that?

#12327 reports exactly the same regression

FYI: The third-party plugin 'bullet-train' is also in the same problem.

Encounter the same issue for bullet-train theme. There is a temporary work around for this.

# replace this line
BULLETTRAIN_GIT_PROMPT_CMD="\$(git_prompt_info)"
# to 
BULLETTRAIN_GIT_PROMPT_CMD="\$(_omz_git_prompt_info)"

Well this temporary fix only serves the basic usage, informations like status tracking with remote branch is not available.
There is a better temporary solution for the issue mentioned later in this thread: #12328 (comment)

For users using the minimal theme this is a workaround for displaying vcs info via git:

~/.oh-my-zsh/themes/minimal.zsh-theme

vcs_status() {
  if (( ${+functions[in_svn]} )) && in_svn; then
    svn_prompt_info
  elif (( ${+functions[in_hg]} )) && in_hg; then
    hg_prompt_info
  else
    _omz_git_prompt_info # https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/issues/12328#issuecomment-2041350726
    #git_prompt_info <- old way of doing it
  fi
}

# to 
BULLETTRAIN_GIT_PROMPT_CMD="\$(_omz_git_prompt_info)"

I have the same problem with bullet-train, but the workaround is helping for the meantime! Thx

I have the same issue with the pygmalion theme, but it seems the workaround (replacing git_prompt_info by _omz_git_prompt_info) does not work for me.

I'm hitting something similar, and I believe related. I updated omz today and started seeing an errant then then in my prompt. After then upgrade:

My standard config, using a custom theme which relies on git_prompt_info:

If I switch git_prompt_info to use _omz_git_prompt_info, the then then no longer appear:

Similarly, I can use the git_prompt_info as before, so long as I disable async-prompt via

zstyle ':omz:alpha:lib:git' async-prompt no

Hi folks! This is going to be the easiest temporary fix while we figure out a cleaner transition path for themes dependent on the current functions.

Setting the code below in your .zshrc file, before Oh My Zsh is sourced:

zstyle ':omz:alpha:lib:git' async-prompt no 

https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh?tab=readme-ov-file#disable-async-git-prompt

Keep an eye on this issue for updates on improvements!

Unfortunately doesn't work for me 😞

Did you put this line before the source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh line?

[christian-heusel]

Unfortunately doesn't work for me 😞

Also you need to reload your shell 😊

Ah good hint, now it works 🙏

Yes of course, I did it. Thank you 😀

Hello,
To add on this issue, in lib/git.sh I see you only register the async function if you find find $(git_prompt_info) in PS1.
However, I wrap this text in another function that displays it conditionally so it doesn't directly appear in echo $PS1...

So I played dumb and added that after omz is loaded in my zshrc : export PROMPT="$PROMPT"'$(false $(git_prompt_info))'

And it works ! Now I can see the git prompt appear async (slightly after the rest).

Maybe it is a similar issue noted above. So it is probably the detection mechanism that should be changed.
Quick idea : try to expand PS1 before testing if git_prompt_info is in it.

Have been encountering the same problem with theme "bullet-train".
There is no branch info attached in the prompt but just a flag icon.
I've tried zstyle ':omz:alpha:lib:git' async-prompt no and omz reload but it didn't work.

Will there be any updates to fix this?
Thank you.

[mcornella]

That needs to be put in your .zshrc file, before Oh My Zsh is sourced. We are working on getting this right, as there is a current mitigation. Will update in here when we have a definitive fix.
