Long directory name in path doesn't fully collapse about powerline-go HOT 15 CLOSED

@dschaper you should try the binary on the release page at https://github.com/justjanne/powerline-go/releases/tag/v1.7.3 and then if fixed, ask the COPR repository maintainer to update it.

from powerline-go.

Nearly the same happen here with v1.7.1 but in this case it only shows the last line, the first part is missing/overwritten and doesn't show.

Tried with another terminal implementation not based on vte (Visual Studio Code integrated terminal) with the same problematic behaviour.

Could you try v1.7.3? This should fix this issue:

from powerline-go.

Sure. Tested and it isn't fixed here, see this session downloading 1.7.0, 1.7.1 and 1.7.3 and the output

from powerline-go.

I don’t see where the issue there is? It collapses segments based on what priorities you configured, and the default has the cwd segment with higher priority than the username segment.

So it first truncates segments based on priority, and, if that’s not possible anymore, it starts to remove segments based on priority.

As the readme explains, you can easily configure and modify those priorities.

from powerline-go.

This is a bug mix up

With default priority the output is

tmp > a > very > long > path >  $ 

Changing priority to root,user,host,ssh,perms,git-branch,git-status,hg,jobs,exit,cwd

robert > __host__ > a > very > long > path > $

Note that only changing the priority for cwd make the cwd module to be smaller (truncate "tmp"), but the default never try to reduce it and just remove the other modules.

Do you think a new issue is needed or to not try to reduce the length of the cwd module before removing others is by design?

from powerline-go.

I'm planning to set separate priorities for the different parts of cwd in the next update.

cwd itself, and cwd-last for the current folder.

Then cwd itself would get lowest priority, and cwd-last the second highest.

Is that a working solution for you? Cutting down the path at first, until only the last part is left, then cutting down the rest?

from powerline-go.

The problem that I am running in to is that when a long path is in the powerline-go prompt, the full path is displayed, but the terminal prompt drops back and overwrites the prompt, as seen on line one of the image, the pwd command is typing over the previously drawn powerline-go prompt.

from powerline-go.

@dschaper Did you try with v1.7.3? And if yes, does this still occur?

This seems like there’s an issue with your terminals configuration.

from powerline-go.

I'm running the lastest from the COPR repo.

@justjanne Splitting the priorities looks fine to me, thanks. For someone that works on long paths because of nested nature of Java packages, it is nice not to lose all other modules because the path is long

from powerline-go.

Thanks will do.

from powerline-go.

Powerline-go 1.7.3 fixes the collapse and closes my issue. Feel free to close it out, I have requested an updated package from COPR maintainer, but I don't want to close out this issue myself if there are other issues that need to be split off to a new issue. Thank you very much for the help.

from powerline-go.

@robmv Could you try v1.8.0, and tell me if your issue is properly resolved?

from powerline-go.

Wonderful, even with more segments (git) the path is shortened:

 robert > __host__ > long > path > master > $

Thank you very much.
