zsh-git-prompt not working nicely with set -x

[blueray453]

I have downloaded gitstatus.py and zshrc.sh

sourced zshrc.sh to my .zshrc like . ~/zshfiles/zshrc.sh

The prompt is working nicely.

However, when I use set -x & set +x to debug some command these files also give some output.

% set -x
+precmd_update_git_vars:1> [ -n '' ']'
+precmd_update_git_vars:1> [ '!' -n '' ']'
+precmd_update_git_vars:2> update_current_git_vars
+update_current_git_vars:1> unset __CURRENT_GIT_STATUS
+update_current_git_vars:3> [[ python == python ]]
+update_current_git_vars:4> _GIT_STATUS=+update_current_git_vars:4> python /home/ismail/zshfiles/gitstatus.py
+update_current_git_vars:4> _GIT_STATUS='' 
+update_current_git_vars:6> __CURRENT_GIT_STATUS=( '' ) 
+update_current_git_vars:7> GIT_BRANCH='' 
+update_current_git_vars:8> GIT_AHEAD='' 
+update_current_git_vars:9> GIT_BEHIND='' 
+update_current_git_vars:10> GIT_STAGED='' 
+update_current_git_vars:11> GIT_CONFLICTS='' 
+update_current_git_vars:12> GIT_CHANGED='' 
+update_current_git_vars:13> GIT_UNTRACKED='' 
+precmd_update_git_vars:3> unset __EXECUTED_GIT_COMMAND
% set +x
+preexec_update_git_vars:1> case set +x (git* | hub* | gh* | stg*)
+zsh:2> set +x

What might be the issue here?

The issue is that set -x activates a mode that logs the commands that the shell executes. That includes unfortunately the commands executed by zsh-git-prompt to generate the prompt. You could disable the git prompt temporarily.

Currently I am debugging my script using

bash -xv ./ex.sh
