Not getting syntax highlighting on python file in ubuntu on WSL.

[pacanukeha]

Using Ubuntu 22.04 on WSL, up-to-date.
Installed moar using brew install moar
moar path/to/file.py

Expected:
python syntax is highlighted

Experienced:
python syntax is displayed but not highlighted

I thought there might be some sort of conflict with oh-my-posh as a terminal line decorator but I disabled that and it made no difference.

I tried manually installing Chroma from brew and it made no difference.

This is super weird.

Can you copy / paste the output of moar --version and moar --help here?

[walles]

Please re-open if you have more information on this @pacanukeha.

hi @walles, I'm very sorry to ignore your question. It turns out that my notification emails have been going to a previous work email and they strangely haven't been helpful enough to forward. anyway – requested output below.
I am using oh-my-posh to decorate my command line, I don't know if that would affect anything.
Please let me know if there are any environment variables you need.

moar --version
v1.23.10

moar --help

I do not appear to have the authority to Re-Open this issue.

What about moar --trace path/to/file.py?

Then just quit immediately after the (not-highlighted) file shows up.

Should print lots of debug information after you exit the pager, please post here what you get!

[pacanukeha]

here you go! some interesting lines in there.

moar --trace ./get_services.py

Just made a new release with the fix in it, thanks for reporting @pacanukeha!

The fixed release should show up in Homebrew within an hour or so.
