What happened?

Oh My Posh suddenly stopped working on Powershell in the Windows Terminal App (and in other places). Here is how the powershell looks now

Theme

I use the blue-owl theme normally which isn't working. I tried other themes and none of them are working. I set the theme using this line in my $profile
oh-my-posh --init --shell pwsh --config "~/AppData/Local/Programs/oh-my-posh/themes/blue-owl.omp.json" | Invoke-Expression

Write-PoshDebug (PowerShell) is just returning
Loading personal and system profiles took 803ms.
and nothing else.
I'm posting the result of Write-PoshDebug below

What OS are you seeing the problem on?

Windows

Which shell are you using?

powershell

@sravanpannala : Now I haven't looked into this on Windows at all yet, but I noted that the homebrew-methods via Linux and MacOS now have a /share/ subfolder added before the /themes/; this causes older paths to fail when referencing the internal theme folder.

If you recently updated oh-my-posh, that may be part of the issue at hand.

Otherwise, it may be worth digging into further.

I suggest that because it looks like the system isn't passing anything to the parser; since they're simply JSON files, I'd be hard pressed to think of a way that it'd be broken other than:

• Theme being misplaced
• Parser is broken

[sravanpannala]

That is true, oh-my-posh stopped working after the recent update. I don't think it is a path issue because I'm referencing the path location directly without using variables: ~/AppData/Local/Programs/oh-my-posh/themes/blue-owl.omp.json.
I have verified that the file exists in the location.

[prokopto-dev]

Okay; I’ll have a look at what I can find; On that note: What version of windows are you using? I’ll boot up my windows box and see if I can’t emulate or reproduce and debug.

I'm using Windows 10 Home

PowerShell 7.2.1

@CapularisPerpetua when the parser fails it prints that error, this actually implies that the flag isn't set. In any other case it will print the actual issue. @sravanpannala are you certain the hyphens are correct? As there are different hyphens out there.

[sravanpannala]

I think the hyphens are correct because they worked before. This problem started only 2 days ago.

[sravanpannala]

I tried reinstalling oh-my-posh via different methods. Chocolatey and Winget still didn't work. Installing it via Install-Module oh-my-posh -Scope CurrentUser solved the issue and I can set themes now.

[sravanpannala]

I think I figured out what the issue is:
I was setting the path to the config files earlier as
"~/AppData/Local/Programs/oh-my-posh/themes/blue-owl.omp.json"
Changing it to
"C:/Users/pansr/AppData/Local/Programs/oh-my-posh/themes/blue-owl.omp.json"
solved the issue.
I think something changed in the code which refers to the home folder. So now the home folder is not showing the home icon

[prokopto-dev]

Interesting. So its now asking for absolute paths... sounds like something somewhere isn't expanding as expected.

[JanDeDobbeleer]

@CapularisPerpetua @sravanpannala you can't expand ~ from golang without replacing it. Which is what we do.

[JanDeDobbeleer]

@sravanpannala I tried to reproduce your issue and it's simply impossible.

To resolve the HOME path we validate the following. Can you provide the output of these env vars?

• $env:HOME
• $env:HOMEPATH
• $env:HOMEDRIVE
• $env:USERPROFILE

[kennedy]

For those who installed oh-my-posh with scoop, make sure your $PROFILE is using $(scoop prefix oh-my-posh)

oh-my-posh --init --shell pwsh --config "$(scoop prefix oh-my-posh)\themes\robbyrussel.omp.json" | Invoke-Expression

[JanDeDobbeleer]

@kennedy I'm looking to restructure the docs so these elements can be easily added. It's a limitation of docusaurus that you can't yet work with variables.
