Overriding base colors from config.fish

[abeintopalo]

Hi,

Thank you for this great prompt, I love it. 👍
I'm using iTerm2 with solarized dark theme. It seems that brblack color is not visible on iTerm2's background. I would like to override pure_color_gray so that all dependent variable is overriden as well.
So far this is my config.fish file:

set DIR (dirname (status --current-filename))

source $DIR"/.aliases"
source $DIR"/.variables"

# override pure theme gray color to be compatible with solarized dark theme of iTerm2
set -g pure_color_gray (set_color yellow)
source "$DIR"/conf.d/pure.fish

Unfortunately this doesn't work because under the hood pure.fish uses _pure_set_default which checks if a variable is already set or not.
The idea is that I don't want to override all the pure_color_gray dependent variables one by one.
Is there a way to achieve this?

Does it happen after terminating all your fish session?

Did you try to erase all dependent variables before sourcing conf.d/pure.fish?

set --erase pure_color_git_branch

Yes it happens after terminating all my fish sessions i.e. restarting my iTerm2.

Erasing all dependent variables does the job.
However, I thought it would be nice to have a solution that works without checking pure.fish to see what are the dependent variables and erase them one by one before sourcing conf.d/pure.fish.

Otherwise any update to pure that would introduce new dependent variables wouldn't be updated automatically with that solution.

Explicit erasing or overriding is not ideal, I agree.

But I reckon the config is loaded before you source the conf.d/pure.fishotherwise it should not be needed to erase them. If so you could try to erase all pure_color_* using a loop.

Sorry I haven't tested this as I'm on my phone

I solved it based on your suggestion:

set DIR (dirname (status --current-filename))

source $DIR"/.aliases"
source $DIR"/.variables"

# clear previously set color variables
for color_variable in (set -n | grep -e pure_color_)
    set -e $color_variable
end

# override pure theme gray color to be compatible with solarized dark theme of iTerm2
set -g pure_color_gray (set_color yellow)

source "$DIR"/conf.d/pure.fish

Thanks
