Integrate with trapd00r/LS_COLORS

[ckuchimanchi]

Hello there,

I'm pretty sure I'm missing something here, but can't seem to understand what. Can you please suggest what's going wrong and/or how to debug this please?

Here's my minimal .zshrc:

ZNAP_PATH="$HOME/.zsh_plugins/znap"

[[ -d "$ZNAP_PATH" ]] ||
    git clone --depth 1 -- \
        https://github.com/marlonrichert/zsh-snap.git "$ZNAP_PATH"

zmodload zsh/complist
autoload -U compinit && compinit
zstyle ':autocomplete:*' widget-style menu-select

source "$ZNAP_PATH"/znap.zsh  # Start Znap

znap source trapd00r/LS_COLORS 
znap eval trapd00r/LS_COLORS "$(whence -a dircolors gdircolors) -b LS_COLORS"
znap source marlonrichert/zcolors
znap eval marlonrichert/zcolors "zcolors ${(q)LS_COLORS}"
znap source marlonrichert/zsh-autocomplete

When I run commands after this, all the colors are gone and the auto suggestion in the options have the option list completely blacked out. Demo here - https://asciinema.org/a/DlhcLVJhyEpoZl2xpXm4K7Fn7

Thanks in advance in debugging this.

What’s going wrong it that trapd00r uses 8-bit colors, which Z Colors does not support (yet).

I made an issue for it: #19

Pull requests welcome! 🙂

You can use this tool to generate any 4-bit $LS_COLORS that you like: https://geoff.greer.fm/lscolors/

By the way, these two lines do exactly the same thing:

znap source trapd00r/LS_COLORS 
znap eval trapd00r/LS_COLORS "$(whence -a dircolors gdircolors) -b LS_COLORS"

You can remove the second line.

Thank you! Just another question:

Does eval also fetch the latest repo code before executing the command (in that repo directory)? i.e. in below case:

znap source marlonrichert/zcolors
znap eval marlonrichert/zcolors "zcolors ${(q)LS_COLORS}"

would line 2 above already includes line 1?

Secondly, I've seen znap eval commands to have a non-repo string like

znap eval zcolors "...."

In this case, does zcolors indicate just a random unique string or does it refer to any repo to download or already downloaded?

Many thanks!

No, it does not, but neither does znap source. Only znap pull does that. However, it will clone the repo if it doesn’t exist yet and it will regenerate the cache if the repo’s index is newer than the cache file.

In this case, does zcolors indicate just a random unique string or does it refer to any repo to download or already downloaded?

In this case, it refers to a repo already downloaded. However, for those commands that don’t have or need a repo, it can also just be an arbitrary identifier. znap eval runs its command in a repo with the given name, if it can find one, and uses the name for the corresponding cache file.
