oh-my-zsh last-working-dir seems to be broken

[AndrewVos]

My ~/.zshrc

source "$HOME/.antigen/antigen.zsh"

antigen use oh-my-zsh

antigen bundle git
antigen bundle last-working-dir

antigen bundle zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting
antigen bundle zsh-users/zsh-history-substring-search

antigen theme robbyrussell

antigen apply

Output

➜  ~  cd Dropbox

Yep, I see this too. Removing the local keyword in the 8th line of the plugin script seems to fix the problem.

But, directly sourcing the plugin script (as opposed to calling antigen bundle) doesn't seem to have this problem. I'm not sure what in antigen is causing this, I'll need to look deeper. If anyone has any ideas, please share :)

I don't see this issue any more. I think that's because I'm using zsh5 now. Do you still face the problem?

Edit: Oops! Spoke too soon. I do see it. On it.

Having the same problem (with zsh5). Anyone found a real solution yet? There must be more people experiencing this.

The reason this happens is because of the local keyword I mentioned in a previous comment. Because the plugin script is source-d within a function, the local variables defined in the script end up being local to that function. This isn't the case when you're using oh-my-zsh directly or when source-ing directly since the local variables there will just be global variables.

The fix is to remove the local keyword from the last-working-directory's cache_file variable definition. As far as I know, that keyword there isn't doing anything anyway.

I'm contemplating adding a fix to the bundle-loading system that modifies the script source to remove these local references before sourcing. Not sure how reliable that'll be.
