Doesn't work with Cmder about zlocation HOT 11 CLOSED

Hm, looks like they left PrePrompt / PostPrompt function for customization. It's probably easier to special-case cmder prompt (i.e. catch the error while changing prompt) and use one of this functions instead.

@cspotcode Thanks, your PR works great for me. Here's the snippet I've got working in my cmder user-profile.ps1 (note the $pwd is important!):

[ScriptBlock]$PrePrompt = {
    Update-ZLocation $pwd
}

from zlocation.

hm, interesting, why cmder makes the promp function RO?

What is RO?

I was just running z and it threw that, just running standard cmder, never had any issues like this before

RO stands for read only.

I don't have a windows machine at the moment, if anybody can investigate and confirm this isssue, I'd very much appreciate it.

Yes, I can confirm this. But as far as I am concerned this is a cmder problem. Handling the prompt itself is one of its main features:

…and a custom prompt layout.

This is from the profile.ps1 cmder uses for powershell:
<# This scriptblock runs every time the prompt is returned. Explicitly use functions from MS namespace to protect from being overridden in the user session. Custom prompt functions are loaded in as constants to get the same behaviour #>

Maybe editing the profile could work around the problem…

#48 offers a solution.

# In your profile:
Import-Module ZLocation -ArgumentList @{Register = $false}
Function PrePrompt {
    Update-ZLocation
}

@cspotcode thank you for looking at it!
I think we can make UX here more seamless by special-casing cmder and handling it transparently for people.

Hm, actually it was easier than I though: hint to use -Force was below https://github.com/cmderdev/cmder/blob/4655888690cd807cd24b082509c1e65e0a4cca38/vendor/profile.ps1#L211
