Set title doesn't work as expected about geometry HOT 24 CLOSED

I am interested in working on this issue! But I have not been able to reproduce it.
Could you help me out here?

from geometry.

Sure thing. As soon as I can I'll give you further information (OS, terminal etc).

from geometry.

OS: OS X Yosemite, 10.10.5
Terminal: iTerm2 Build 3.0.12 & Terminal.app Version 2.5.3 (343.7)
zsh: zsh 5.3 (x86_64-apple-darwin14.5.0)

Anyways, it happened with zsh 5.2 as well, probably with other versions too.

from geometry.

Step to reproduce:

• Open a terminal
• Run sleep 10

Expected results:

• Terminal window title should display: sleep @ ~/path/to/current/directory

Results:

• $COMMAND @ $CURR_DIR

Hope that helps!

By the way, it's currently working on my end.

It's iTerm nightly, by the way.

from geometry.

Works on my end too.
OS : macOS Sierra, 10.12.1
Terminal : Default terminal
zsh 5.2

I'll try on iTerm2.

@desyncr can you check if in the iTerm Preferences, under the Appearance tab, is there any option clicked on "Window & Tab Titles"?

from geometry.

Also, don't forget to check the "Terminal may set tab/window title" option under Preferences > Profiles > Terminal. Probably should add that to the docs.

May be I'm missing something, but remember it also does seem to work on Terminal.app.

Works on Terminal.app here as well.

macOS 10.12.1, zsh 5.3 (x86_64-apple-darwin16.1.0)

I guess then it's my set up in some way messing up with this. I'll take a look later today.

@aishpant It'll be better to look for other issues if you can't reproduce this one.

from geometry.

It seems it's all about this single line (check the single quotes). Not sure why you can't reproduce it thought.

from geometry.

@aishpant Are you up for this still? Let me know 👍

from geometry.

@desyncr sorry I haven't seen the issue here yet. I'll take something else.

from geometry.

Alright, I'll let it hang out a bit more for anyone interested and then take it if there is no one to look after it.

from geometry.

Hello, again! :) Just wanted to let you know that it works properly on my build and on both terminals as well.

El Capitan 10.11.6
zsh 5.0.8 & zsh 5.3.1 (one was an old built-in zsh, the other one is the updated one from homebrew)
Terminal.app 2.6.1
iTerm 2 3.0.12

Maybe a yosemite bug or something?

from geometry.

Could anybody try:

zsh -f
source /path/to/geometry/geometry.zsh
sleep 5

and check if the title is updated as expected? For me what happens is I see $COMMAND @ $CURR_DIR.

from geometry.

Able to reproduce that way:

It seems we're not properly setting PROMPT_SUBST. print documentation. Prompt expansion docs.

We probably should do setopt PROMPT_SUBST to make it work as expected anywhere.

from geometry.

@ChauTNguyen @aishpant any of you want to tackle this?

from geometry.

I'll try it. Where should setopt PROMPT_SUBST be placed though (for style purposes). Right now I have it under Misc configurations (line 35 of geometry.zsh).

from geometry.

I think it belongs inside the set up method prompt_geometry_setup below this line. As the global configuration section in geometry.zsh is meant for global variables, very little actual code show be placed there.

Fixed in #74
