Prompt shows garbled

[moonwater]

when I enable this plugin, it shows garbled for the prompt:

[oh-my-zsh] Random theme '/home/master/.oh-my-zsh/themes/daveverwer.zsh-theme' loaded...
git_super_status:[:4: integer expression expected: have
git_super_status:[:7: integer expression expected: also
git_super_status:[:11: integer expression expected: python3
git_super_status:[:14: integer expression expected: installed,
git_super_status:[:17: integer expression expected: you
git_super_status:[:20: integer expression expected: can
git_super_status:[:23: integer expression expected: you

please help. thanks.

There seems to be a problem with the python installation.
You could try the fork https://github.com/zsh-git-prompt/zsh-git-prompt.

Check out the fork and run zsh zshrc.sh --debug. It should show the complete error message.

I found this issue because I'm running into the exact same problem. @thomasrebele I tried your suggestion and get the following:

root@xnatpi [15:59:17] [~] -> # git clone https://github.com/zsh-git-prompt/zsh-git-prompt [You|] Cloning into 'zsh-git-prompt'... remote: Enumerating objects: 856, done. remote: Total 856 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 856 Receiving objects: 100% (856/856), 1.11 MiB | 5.34 MiB/s, done.

For readability, I left the git_super_status in the first occurrence but replaced it with git_super_status etc for subsequent ones, but it is occurring every time I run any command.

And just for informational purposes... I had both of these lines in my .zshrc:

antigen bundle git-prompt antigen bundle zsh-users/zsh-git-prompt

I commented out the second line but the error kept occurring. I commented out the first line and it stopped. So it looks like the issue is with git-prompt, but it gets weird because I don't see zsh-git-prompt anywhere in my user's home folder. I even deleted the .antigen folder and .zshrc.zwc and started a new shell, but don't see where it ends up:

root@xnatpi [16:10:01] [~] -> # find . -name "*git*prompt*" ./.antigen/bundles/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/plugins/git-prompt ./.antigen/bundles/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/plugins/git-prompt/git-prompt.plugin.zsh ./.antigen/bundles/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/plugins/gitfast/git-prompt.sh

Note that this is happening with root in the bit that I pasted here, but that's because I just happened to be installing stuff (including zsh and related tools). It happens with any user though, not just limited to root. This is on Ubuntu 19.10 running on a Raspberry Pi 4. Let me know if there's any other info I can get to help find the cause.

The error integer expression expected: have git_super_status indicates that you might have activated both, the old zsh-git-prompt and the one from @zsh-git-prompt. I just saw that the git-prompt plugin of oh-my-zsh also uses the git_super_status command.
Could you try to deactivate the git-prompt plugin?
If this doesn't work, could you share your .zshrc?

I don't have experience with antigen, but it would be nice to add support for it.
According to the antigen documentation we would need to add a .plugin.zsh file in the zsh-git-prompt repo.

PS: I recommend to use code blocks (separate with an empty line and indent with four spaces):

antigen bundle git-prompt
antigen bundle zsh-users/zsh-git-prompt

thanks @thomasrebele, the garbled disappeared after some update in 19.10.
now it happened again in ubuntu 20.04.

Could you post the output of python gitstatus.py, or python3 gitstatus.py?
