How to remove trailing space if module is not in use?

[tembbo]

I have a python module like this

[python]
format = "[$virtualenv](yellow) "

and it works fine, if i enable my virtual env in a python project it shows the name, but if i run the command deactivate to deactivate the virtual environment, i get an extra space (most likely because of the trailing space in the starship.toml, but if i remove that, theres no seperation between the ❯ and the module)

activate the venv ->

deactivate the venv ->
‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ^
‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ extra space

this is what i get when running starship explain

Here's a breakdown of your prompt:
 "❯ " (<1ms)           -  A character (usually an arrow) beside where the text is entered in your terminal
 "~/Dev/quiz " (<1ms)  -  The current working directory
 " " (<1ms)            -  The currently installed version of Python

and there you can see the empty python module, which should be disabled

Please try this:

[python]
format = "([$virtualenv](yellow) )"

That works! Thank you @davidkna! Could you please explain why that works.

I think im doing something similar with the git module, is that correct?

[git_status]
format = "[(*$conflicted$untracked$modified$staged$renamed$deleted) ($ahead_behind )](red)"
conflicted = "​"
untracked = "​"
modified = "​"
staged = "​"
renamed = "​"
deleted = "​"
