Incompatibility with "z"

[shpoont]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install "z" from https://github.com/rupa/z
2. Source "z" before "bash-preexec"
3. Start new shell session

Actual result:

1. The precmd function is executed
2. The preexec function is executed with last command from history

Expected result:

1. The precmd function is executed

@shpoont thanks for opening the issue and using bash-preexec! Noticed you added it to brew and used it as a requirement for your project :D

I'm unable to reproduce this issue with master, so maybe it's due to bugs in v2.2. I'll cut 2.3 for you now.

[rcaloras]

Just cut 0.2.3 can you give that a try and see if that's working?

[shpoont]

Hi, I still have the same problem on 0.2.3

[rcaloras]

I'm unable to reproduce on OS X or Linux. Bash Versions 3.2 and 4.3 respectively.

~/.bash_profile looks like:

source ~/git/z/z.sh
source ~/git/bash-preexec/bash-preexec.sh

preexec() { echo "just typed $1"; }
precmd() { echo "printing the prompt"; }

Opening a new terminal window:

Last login: Sun Dec  6 19:08:06 on ttys006
printing the prompt
19:11:13-rcaloras-~/git/z (master)$ 

PROMPT_COMMAND looks like this:

19:12:00-rcaloras-~/git/z (master)$ echo "$PROMPT_COMMAND"
__bp_precmd_invoke_cmd; update_terminal_cwd; 
_z --add "$(command pwd -P 2>/dev/null)" 2>/dev/null; __bp_interactive_mode;

What's your PROMPT_COMMAND look like?

[rcaloras]

Alternatively _z could be invoked via precmd() or preexec() which would avoid empty returns.

[rcaloras]

FYI there was a similar issue a little while back, but it was just a sourcing problem. So some other folks have been able to use these together successfully :) #4

[rcaloras]

Perhaps bash-preexec is not the last thing sourced in your config file. __bp_interactive_mode needs to be the last thing in your PROMPT_COMMAND

[rcaloras]

@shpoont any luck?

[shpoont]

Hey @rcaloras I just checked again and it seems to be ok with the latest version. Also I am able to run powerline after bash-preexec and it works fine, just fyi ;)

Thanks for your help!

[rcaloras]

@shpoont great good to hear!
