Getting a No such shell function `zle-line-init' in Terminal

[ch-lee]

Hi there,

I'm getting a No such shell function 'zle-line-init' in the terminal (I'm using iTerm2), just underneath the prompt. See screenshot:

I'm using the theme jandedobbeleer.omp.json - no changes made. Just a straight clone.

I'm getting this each time I press the enter key.

I noticed that I don't have this error when I just use the default theme - see screenshot below:

But, when I press enter key or any command, I get this:

I believe this is the Transient Prompt?

I have seen the how to disable Transient prompt and I don't have the transient_prompt json element set in the jandedobbeleer.omp.json

Inside my .zshrc file:

if [ $TERM_PROGRAM != "Apple_Terminal" ]; then
  eval "$(oh-my-posh init zsh)"
fi

# eval "$(oh-my-posh init zsh --config ~/.jandedobbeleer.omp.json)"

How can I stop the No such shell function 'zle-line-init' from appearing? I presume I am missing something?

Any help appreciated!

@ch-lee eval "$(oh-my-posh init zsh)" is what gets run as eval "$(oh-my-posh init zsh --config ~/.jandedobbeleer.omp.json)" is commented out and the default theme (embedded) does have a transient prompt.

That said, your zsh is either outdated OR something is hijacking/removing those native zsh functions (see ohmyzsh or similar).

[ch-lee]

Thanks for the quick reply.

Sorry, I was commenting out eval "$(oh-my-posh init zsh --config ~/.jandedobbeleer.omp.json)" in my .zshrc file to switch between the default theme and manually setting a theme.

I thought my zsh was out of date as well and did a brew reinstall zsh.

Current version installed now is: zsh 5.9 (arm-apple-darwin22.1.0)

It's very strange. I don't have ohmyzsh installed either.

[JanDeDobbeleer]

@ch-lee hmm, this is a bit strange tbh. That function should be part of zsh' builtin ZLE functionality. I'll have a look tomorrow.

[ch-lee]

Yeah, it super strange. I'm not too familiar with ZLE functionality. Been trying to re-install lots of things at the moment. Lots of googling as well. Will keep trying. Let me know if you have any ideas tomorrow. Thanks

Found this thread because I did the same thing... tried to comment out the first eval line to test a theme and got the same error. Removing the commented line resolved it immediately

Hello,

I'm having the same issue with both zsh and oy-my-posh updated to the latest version.
I'm using a theme that doesn't have Transient Prompt for what it matters.

[JanDeDobbeleer]

@Tuttu is your zsh version up-to-date?

[JanDeDobbeleer]

@Tuttu nice, are you using oh my zsh or any other plugin?

[Tuttu]

@JanDeDobbeleer Nope. It's a fresh macOS install and I have only installed brew to be able to install oh-my-bosh. There shouldn't be anything else unless my IT team is installing something in the background which I doubt.

[Tuttu]

One thing to note: if I'm using the exec zsh command in my terminal window, zsh will reload without that 'error' message being displayed.

[JanDeDobbeleer]

@Tuttu that implies something isn't loaded and that could be related to your terminal setup and how it invokes zsh.

[Tuttu]

Well. I will check my installation and see if something is wrong with it.

I just had this error, No such shell function 'zle-line-init' and found that it was because I was calling eval "$(oh-my-posh init ..." twice in .zshrc, once to load Oh My Posh, then another to load the theme. Using just one worked:

eval "$(oh-my-posh init zsh --config <path>/<theme_name>.omp.json)"

Hey @JanDeDobbeleer - Still seeing this with version 16.7.1, and I only have one eval line in my .zshrc file : /

  grep posh .zshrc
eval "$(oh-my-posh init zsh --config ~/avit.omp.json)"
~ 
  
No such shell function `zle-line-init'

zsh version:
zsh 5.8.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin21.0)

[JanDeDobbeleer]

@nbennett25 that's either a zsh version issue (maybe outdated), or something else outside of our control.

[lucabezerra]

My 2 cents: In my case, I added the eval command to my .zshrc only once, yet I was also getting this error/warning and couldn't figure out why. Later I realized I ran in the same terminal the command to test a theme on the spot (eval "$(oh-my-posh init zsh --config $(brew --prefix oh-my-posh)/themes/<some_other_theme>.omp.json)"), somewhat similar to what @Tuttu did, although less permanent. Turns out I just needed to restart the terminal 🤦🏻 Hope it helps someone, haha.

Worked for me. Thanks

I see the following error each time I open my terminal or bash:

autoload: command not found
add-zsh-hook: command not found
add-zsh-hook: command not found
Command 'zle' not found, did you mean:
  command 'mle' from snap mle-editor (1.5.0)
  command 'ale' from deb ale (0.9.0.3-5)
  command 'zile' from deb zile (2.6.2-2)
  command 'gle' from deb gle-graphics (4.2.5-9)
  command 'le' from deb le (1.16.8-0.1)
  command 'mle' from deb mle (1.4.3-2)
  command 'zl' from deb zenlisp (2013.11.22-3)

after adding

eval "$(oh-my-posh init zsh --config ~/<ttheme>.omp.json)" 

to my ~/.zshrcfile.

@ai-mine-max this is a zsh configuration/installation issue. See this thread for pointers.
