I've never used Oh-my-posh myself, but you should be able to refer to my answer about Starship in #767 (comment) and replace the starship prompt with a corresponding Oh-my-posh command and it should work.

[Saumyajyoti Mukherjee]

Thanks. I am able to use it for sync mode. Working code below. The async mode method does not work for Starship. So, not able to get it working for omp either.

return {
  setup = function(st)
    Header.cwd = function()
      local cwd = cx.active.current.cwd
      if st.cwd ~= cwd then
        st.cwd, st.output = cwd, io.popen("oh-my-posh print primary"):read("*a"):gsub("^%s+", "")
      end
      return ui.Line.parse(st.output)
    end
  end,
}

I tried out the async version, and it works for me.

The only change I made based on the comments in that issue was:

-    local output = Command("starship"):arg("prompt"):cwd(args[1]):env("STARSHIP_SHELL", ""):output()
+    local output = Command("oh-my-posh"):args({ "print", "primary" }):cwd(args[1]):output()

Please make sure you're using the latest Yazi v0.2.5 and have enabled it in your init.lua:

require("oh-my-posh"):setup()

Yes, I am using latest main branch git code. Thanks for the snippet above. Somehow still async mode gives blank line for both the prompts for my system. Can I collect any debug log which can help here?

Can I collect any debug log which can help here?

Yeah you can, see https://yazi-rs.github.io/docs/plugins/overview#debugging

[Saumyajyoti Mukherjee]

Thanks for your guidance. Somehow the async mode also started working now. Not sure what was the issue earlier.

Nice, glad to hear that!

Would you like to create a separate repo for it and add a README and LICENSE file? That way I can add it to the https://yazi-rs.github.io/docs/resources page so more people can use it.

[Saumyajyoti Mukherjee]

Sure. I'll create and post here soon.

[Saumyajyoti Mukherjee]

Created the repo' https://github.com/saumyajyoti/omp.yazi . But kept the sync mode default on as still seeing some issue with async update mode. I'll test more and change the behavior accordingly.
FYI, I am testing on Windows 11 setup with cmder as my console.

Thanks!

It might be related to path quoting on the Windows platform. Try forcing Unix quoting:

- ya.manager_emit("plugin", { st._name, args = ya.quote(tostring(cwd)) })
+ ya.manager_emit("plugin", { st._name, args = ya.quote(tostring(cwd), true) })

Thanks for the suggestion. It is working fine with Async mode now. Updated the repo'.
