I'm written several zsh functions for tmux. I'm trying to add autocompletion to a few of these functions, but I'm running into trouble.
One of these functions is tk, a shorthand for tmux kill-session. This function takes the name of a session to kill and falls back to the current session if one isn't provided.
Here's what my function looks like:
function tk {
if [ $# -ne 0 ]; then
tmux kill-session -t $1
else
tmux kill-session
fi
}
I've also written an active_tmux_sessions function that's used in a few other places:
function active_tmux_sessions {
tmux ls -F "#{session_name}" 2>/dev/null | cut -d: -f1
}
Here's what I did to glue them together.
function _tk() {
compadd $(active_tmux_sesions)
}
compdef _tk tk
When I type tk <tab>, I get this error:
tk _tk:1: command not found: active_tmux_sesions
_tk:1: command not found: active_tmux_sesions
_tk:1: command not found: active_tmux_sesions

So, I have Oh My Zsh up and running, and I'm creating my own new zsh-theme. In it, I wish to grab the external IP address from https://api.myip.com - and I'm using curl & grep to grab it. Works fine when I enter it at the command prompt, but when embedded in my zsh-theme file it gives me an error:
zsh: no matches found: ((1?[0-9][0-9]?|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5]).){3}(1?[0-9][0-9]?|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5])

Here is my zsh-theme:
PROMPT='%F{white}%M %n %y %j $(curl -s https://api.myip.com | grep -oE '((1?[0-9][0-9]?|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5])\.){3}(1?[0-9][0-9]?|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5])') %F{green}%2c%F{blue} [%f '
RPROMPT='$(git_prompt_info) %F{blue}] %F{green}%W %* %F{yellow}%D{%p}%f'

ZSH_THEME_GIT_PROMPT_SUFFIX="%f"
ZSH_THEME_GIT_PROMPT_DIRTY=" %F{red}*%f"
ZSH_THEME_GIT_PROMPT_CLEAN=""
And here is the command sequence that grabs the IP address:
curl -s https://api.myip.com | grep -oE '((1?[0-9][0-9]?|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5])\.){3}(1?[0-9][0-9]?|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5])'
Try this:
# Function name that's compatible with
# http://zsh.sourceforge.net/Doc/Release/User-Contributions.html#Prompt-Themes
# in case you ever want to build a full prompt theme.
# -s to prevent curl from outputting a progress bar.
# Use a service that simply outputs your IP, so you
# don't have to parse anything.
prompt_jacobjackson_precmd() {
psvar[1]=$( curl -s ifconfig.co )
}
# precmd hooks ru just before each new prompt.
autoload -Uz add-zsh-hook

I have written a ZSH function whose output is a command line which runs a program I need the user to be able to interact with.
At the moment I just echo the command line and instruct the user to copy-paste it so that they have the necessary access to its pipes, however is there a way I can just have the function finish by entering the command for the user as if they had copied and pasted it themselves?
I have looked into using zle but that seems to require a key binding, whereas I just want the user to be able to run: myzshfunction arg1 and the ultimate result to be their terminal attached to the program launched as a result of some processing of their arg1.
$ myzshfunction arg2*2
Run this command! foobar baz4
$ foobar baz4
...
The function looks something like this:
myzshfunction() {
if [[ $# = 0 ]]
then
echo "usage: myzshfunction 1.2.3.4"
return
fi
local creds=`curl "https://xxx/$1/latest" | jq -r 'x'`
local cred_arr=("${(#s|/|)creds}")
local pwd_pipe=$(mktemp -u)
mkfifo $pwd_pipe
exec 3<>$pwd_pipe
rm $pwd_pipe
echo $cred_arr[2] >&3
echo "Run this: sshpass -d3 ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null "$cred_arr[1]#$1"
exec 3>&-
}
TIA
Use print -z to add text to the buffer. From the documentation:
-z Push the arguments onto the editing buffer stack, separated by spaces.
Calling foo, defined below, will result in hi being placed on the command line as if the user had typed it. For example,
% foo () { print -z hi; }
% foo
% hi
The best solution I could come up with was to use zle - the Zsh Line Editor.
This lets you update the command the user is currently editing, which to me feels a bit hacky. I would prefer a solution that lets you call a function, hit return, and then cleanly run a function with STDIO attached to your terminal as if you had run the resulting command line.
Perhaps you could emulate this by bindkey'ing the return key and doing some sort of decision/routing from there to see if the user wants to call myfunc. For now, my solution requires the Esc+i sequence is entered after typing a target for $host.
zle-myfunc() {
apikey=$(keychain-environment-variable api-key)
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo "Add your api-key to the keychain: "
BUFFER='security add-generic-password -U -a ${USER} -D "environment variable" -s "api-key" -w'
zle accept-line
return 1
fi
local host=$BUFFER
zle kill-buffer
local creds=`curl ..." | jq -r ...`
if [ -z creds ]; then
echo "Couldn't get creds, check your network"
return 1
fi
local creds_arr=("${(#s|/|)creds}")
local pwd_pipe=$(mktemp -u)
mkfifo $pwd_pipe
exec 3<>$pwd_pipe
# anonymise the pipe
rm $pwd_pipe
echo "$creds_arr[2]" >&3
BUFFER="sshpass -d3 ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null $creds_arr[1]#$host"
zle accept-line
# exec 3>&-
}
zle -N zle-myfunc
bindkey '\ei' zle-myfunc
I'm trying to build a zsh function that returns an output based on a time interval. Initially the "You're thirsty" condition is true, but after changing the variable thirsty through the command line and setting it to false, the initial if statement goes through, but the variable thirsty in it doesn't change the global variable thirsty. Is there a way to modify the global variable thirsty?
thirsty=
last_time=
drink_water() {
echo -n "$thirsty"
if [[ $thirsty == false ]]; then
last_time="$[$(date +%s) + 10]"
thirsty=true
echo -n "${last_time} $(date +%s) ${thirsty}"
elif [[ $[last_time] -lt $(date +%s) ]]; then
echo -n "💧 You're thirsty"
fi
}
Since your code is actually called from:
PROMPT='$(drink_water)'
...everything it contains is run in a subprocess spawned as part of this command substitution operation ($() is a "command substitution": It creates a new subprocess, runs the code given in that subprocess, and reads the subprocess's output). When that subprocess exits, changes to variables -- even global variables -- made within the subprocess are lost.
If you put your update code directly inside a precmd function, then it would be run before each prompt is printed but without a command substitution intervening. That is:
precmd() {
local curr_time=$(date +%s) # this is slow, don't repeat it!
if [[ $thirsty = false ]]; then
last_time="$(( curr_time + 10 ))"
thirsty=true
PROMPT="$last_time $curr_time $thirsty"
elif (( last_time < curr_time )); then
PROMPT="💧 You're thirsty"
fi
}
Of course, you can set your PROMPT with a command substitution, but updates to variable state have to be done separately, outside that command substitution, if they are to persist.
You can use Zsh Hooks.
Hooks avoid the issues of command substitution here because they run in the same shell, rather than a subshell.
drink_water_prompt=
thirsty=
last_time=
drink_water_gen_prompt() {
drink_water_prompt="$thirsty"
if [[ $thirsty == false ]]; then
last_time="$[$(date +%s) + 10]"
thirsty=true
drink_water_prompt+="${last_time} $(date +%s) ${thirsty}"
elif [[ $[last_time] -lt $(date +%s) ]]; then
drink_water_prompt+="💧 You're thirsty"
fi
}
autoload -Uz add-zsh-hook
add-zsh-hook precmd drink_water_gen_prompt
PROMPT='${drink_water_prompt}'
These also allow more than one precmd() function.
I'm wrote a function called test_status that I am trying to incorporate in my tmux status bar. To give some background, my tests will output to a file called .guard_result with either success or failure and the test_status function reads from that file and echoes a 💚 if my tests are passing and a ❤️ if they are failing.
The good news is running test_status works just fine, I'm just having trouble getting it to work with tmux. What am I missing here?
# ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/aliases.zsh
function test_status {
if [ ! -f "./.guard_result" ]; then
echo "?"
return 1
fi
result="$(cat ./.guard_result)"
if [[ $result == *"success"* ]]
then
echo "💚";
elif [[ $result == *"fail"* ]]
then
echo "❤️";
fi
}
This function works... Here is Tmux configuration (which doesn't show result):
# ~/.tmux.conf
set -g status-right "#(test_status) #[fg=colour245]%d %b %Y #[fg=white]:: #[fg=colour245]%l:%M %p"
I know I must be missing something simple... Thanks for your help!
tmux passes shell commands to /bin/sh not zsh. And even if tmux would use zsh, the function would not be available in that context as ~/.zshrc, which loads oh-my-zsh, is only read for interactive shells.
In order to get the the output of test_status into tmux, I would suggest to put the function into a zsh script and call that.
You can either source ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/aliases.zsh from within the script and then call test_status:
#!/usr/bin/zsh
# ^ make sure this reflects the path to zsh (`type zsh`)
source ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/aliases.zsh
test_status
Or you can just put the entire function into the script, so as to not clutter alias.zsh:
#!/usr/bin/zsh
function test_status {
if [ ! -f "./.guard_result" ]; then
echo "?"
return 1
fi
result="$(cat ./.guard_result)"
if [[ $result == *"success"* ]]
then
echo "💚";
elif [[ $result == *"fail"* ]]
then
echo "❤️";
fi
}
Safe the script somewhere (e.g. /path/to/test_status.zsh), make it executable (chmod a+x /path/to/test_status.zsh) and call it by path in the tmux configuration.
I'm trying to get customize my zsh prompt and want to evaluation a function with git commands every time my prompt is generated. I'm using setopt PROMPT_SUBST, but it doesn't seem to be working. This is my zshrc:
setopt PROMPT_SUBST
autoload -U colors && colors # Enable colors
# Show Git branch/tag, or name-rev if on detached head
parse_git_branch() {
echo "PARSING GIT BRANCH"
(git symbolic-ref -q HEAD || git name-rev --name-only --no-undefined --always HEAD) 2> /dev/null
}
prompt() {
echo -n "%/"
echo "$(git status)"
}
PS1="$(prompt)"
And this is my output of setopt:
interactive
login
monitor
nonomatch
promptsubst
shinstdin
zle
You need to delay calling prompt until the prompt is displayed; do that by using single quotes:
PS1='$(prompt)'
A better idea, though, is to define a function that sets PS1, then add that function to the precmd_functions array so that it is executed prior to displaying each prompt.
prompt () {
PS1="%/$(git status)"
}
precmd_functions+=(prompt)
