Line wrapping issue with silver in termite (using bash)

[Tobias Paar]

I have following issue in my terminal:

I am running silver 1.1.0, termite 15, bash 5.0
(Manjaro ARM Sway on a Pinebook Pro)

I couldn't find any help searching the web. Do you have any advice?

[Alice Carroll]

1. Does that happen without silver?
2. Does that happen in other terminal emulators?
3. Does that happen with other shells?
4. Please attach your config

I have observed this behavior with the Sakura terminal emulator on Fedora 32

The relevant portion of my .bashrc:

if which silver &> /dev/null; then
    SILVER=(env:white:black:USER dir:blue:white git:green:white status:red:white)
    home_icon=$'\uf7db'
    export SILVER_SHELL=$0
    export SILVER_ICONS=nerd
    export SILVER_DIR_ALIASES="$HOME:$home_icon "
    eval "$(silver init)"
fi

Can't reproduce neither with latest crates.io release nor git version, Alacritty, Arch Linux

The relevant part in my .bashrc seems to be

SILVER=(status:black:white user:yellow:black dir:blue:black git:green:black cmdtime:magenta:black)
export SILVER_ICONS=nerd
export SILVER_SHELL=$0 # bash, zsh, or fish
eval "$(silver init)"

After commenting out these lines the line wrapping works like intended.

[Alice Carroll]

Does it reproduce on the git version?
To use it:

1. Remove all SILVER* environment variables, leave only source <(silver init) or eval "$(silver init)" line

2. Create ~/.config/silver/silver.toml with the following contents:

   [[left]]
   name = "status"
   color.background = "black"
   color.foreground = "white"
   
   [[left]]
   name = "user"
   color.background = "yellow"
   color.foreground = "black"
   
   [[left]]
   name = "dir"
   color.background = "blue"
   color.foreground = "black"
   
   [[left]]
   name = "git"
   color.background = "green"
   color.foreground = "black"
   
   [[left]]
   name = "cmdtime"
   color.background = "magenta"
   color.foreground = "black"

3. cargo install --git https://github.com/reujab/silver

4. Restart bash

Alright, this is the result:

$ source .bashrc

Can you try cargo install --git https://github.com/reujab/silver again? Also maybe we should move to gitter

[Tobias Paar]

Thanks for your help!

Sorry, earlier I still had the original silver installed on my system.
I now removed that one, and re-installed the new version from git using your command.

After a first try everything seems to work like intended now.

Is it possible to revert the changes I made on my system (installing rust and compiling dozens of apps) and going back to install silver through the pamac package manager?
That way I can receive updates in the future...

[Alice Carroll]

AUR package is currently orphaned and a bit outdated, it's pretty hard to maintain it while doing other projects. Maybe if you find someone who could do that it would be possible, but rn cargo is the only way

[Tobias Paar]

Good, thank you!
