Python environment do not show (Windows, CMD, clink)

Code of Conduct

• I agree to follow this project's Code of Conduct

What happened?

1. Clean Window 11
2. Install clink
3. Install oh-my-posh
4. set oh-my-posh theme using clink (whatever)

create python -m venv default

default\Script\activate.bat

prompt do not show the environment, please do not reply that is explained how to fix it, I found the description of the Python segment, and THERE IS NO WAY to let this work.

note: if you run 'set' in the cmd, the enviroment:
PYENV_VIRTUALENV_DISABLE_PROMPT=1
and
VIRTUAL_ENV_PROMPT=default

so, I have read as much as possibile, and try to find a way to change the .json of agnoster or other styles, but there is no way. If I run oh-my-posh debug, I get always Python(false) in the Segments section, NO WAY TO CHANGE IT.

Theme

agnoster.omp.json

What OS are you seeing the problem on?

Windows

Which shell are you using?

cmd

@antoniocaruso couple of things to notice here.

Config error

 caruso   ~  CONFIG ERROR  

This means the configuration you set, is not loaded so any adjustments made to the config file will never reflect into your prompt.
The reason for that is that you seem to have made invalid JSON:

[DEBUG] 23:54:38.612 debug.go:40 → config set using POSH_THEME: C:\Users\caruso\AppData\Local\Programs\oh-my-posh\themes\agnoster.omp.json
[TRACE] 23:54:38.612 debug.go() - 0s
[ERROR] 23:54:38.613 load.go:Load:29 → invalid character '}' looking for beginning of value

Resolve the error in the config file, then run oh-my-posh debug again to sse if the issue persists.

Python segment

The reason that it does not work with the default configuration is that you're in your HOME folder and home_enabled defaults to false.

[DEBUG] 23:54:38.620 language.go:Enabled:126 → home_enabled: false
[DEBUG] 23:54:38.620 home.go:Home:26 → C:\Users\caruso

[antoniocaruso]

There is NO explanation, I mean clear explanation of the role of that variables.
People are lazy, and really want to get the SAME expected behavior in system. This is a basic UX design rule.
so, default behavior in ALL systems is: you get the name of the environment in front of the prompt ALWAYS.
The error in the json is not relevant, I got it after millions of changes that never affected the fact that
at the beginning of the debug the Python section is set to false.
If the variable home_enabled is the relevant issue, the theme needs to be written with that SET. I know that maybe you don't write the themes, but is there some theme that have this feature SET?
Is there a theme that I just Use to see if it work out of the box? It seems NO.

My humble suggestion, is: in the python block help in the oh-my-posh site, put an example of the DEFAULT prompt behavior that I will get in ALL OTHER SYSTEMS.

This is my prompt at University: 10:07:21 (env) login@host dir
with zsh, perfectly working with oh-my-zsh without ANY customization. There are millions of python developers out there that are crying. ;)

[JanDeDobbeleer]

@antoniocaruso I don't understand what you're trying to make me say here. The fact that CMD displays the virtual environment indication is because it's hardcoded to do so in activate.bat with no way of disabling that, unlike activate.ps1 and activate.sh.

When it comes to compatibility with oh-my-posh, that default displaying is an issue as the shell logic in the activate scripts hijacks the prompt entirely and prepends it with the virtual env name. That causes issues as we calculate available space prior to them hijacking, which visually ruins the prompt when you have right aligned blocks and/or responsive settings. That makes people cry on our end.

To resolve that, as we have native Python support built-in, we disable those scripts from doing that by setting the script's environment variable switches. This works everywhere, except for CMD apparently as there they did not add that ability (feature parity gap on Conda's end). We can't solve that discrepancy.

The issue in the JSON file is relevant, as those are the logs I received which also show an offset on your end between the two environments, meaning it can never adhere to the same design rule. That said, the issue in inconsistency is still linked to Conda and not oh-my-posh.

You can easily tweak any theme, as they act as examples mostly. We have a guide on that here.

[antoniocaruso]

Dear JanDeDobbeleer,

I solved. I try to be more synthetic. The documentation is not clear. At least the role of the variable home_enabled is not clear at all. I expected the opposite default settings for this variable since when I activate an environment a default prompt (without oh-my-posh) provide info ALWAYS about the environment. Not only when you are inside it. So, maybe, just rewrite the phrase and description of this variable in the help, by saying. SET TO TRUE if you wanna have your DEFAULT behavior and SEE the name of your environment ALWAYS. I would put this flag true by default, and let the theme writer decide if they wanna turn it off. Billions of Python developers know that THAT is a sane behavior. (if I activate an environment the shell change the path of python and all other related tools NO MATTER of the directory where you are, so, I really don't understand the idea of this variable, I wanna ALWAYS being able to distinguish between two different terminal window with two shell if one is related to an env or not).

Dear @antoniocaruso,
Do you even have a clue what open source software is? This man spent days of his life, for the convenience of thousands and thousands of users happily using his software -for free-

There is absolutely no reason and I think you have no rights to claim features, changes, fixes or time spent on your issue, while still, it is thoroughly addressed and you got proper help. If you don't see it, fine. Uninstall and leave please.

I disagree with you on this, @nikneem; That doesn't mean he won't do what he does properly when he's providing something for free to people. If these complaints were taken as lessons and better quality work was done then the world would be a better place! wouldn't it?
