Bug#835103: powerline: shell/default.json do not display the right side

[Daniel Baumann]

Hi,

given that bash doesn't support the right-side of a prompt, there's
nothing powerline can do about it, hence I wonder if this bug report
shouldn't be closed (or reassigned as an upstream-wishlist bug to bash).

somewhat related to that, the switching of the default theme to
default_leftonly.json for shell can be covered with #899153.

Regards,
Daniel

This bug appears to affect other users of Powerline as well. An upstream
bug report about this exists:

https://github.com/powerline/powerline/issues/1657

However that issue's comments point out that bash does not support
right-aligned segments, so if you were trying to use that shell segment
in bash you may want to try using another shell that supports
right-aligned segments.

Thanks,

Bug#835103: powerline: shell/default.json do not display the right side

[Cedric BRINER]

Package: powerline
Version: 2.4-1
Severity: normal
Tags: lfs

Hi,

I'm not able to make work git displaying information when using
shell/default.json. But shell/default_leftonly.json works.

I've tried to added cwd on right for shell/default.json with no success.
{
  "function": "powerline.segments.shell.cwd",
  "priority": 10
}

So it seems more that it is not able to display the right side
