Zsh error message

Support
1

I’m getting the following when opening the terminal:

[WARNING]: Console output during zsh initialization detected.

When using Powerlevel10k with instant prompt, console output during zsh
initialization may indicate issues.

You can:

  - Recommended: Change ~/.zshrc so that it does not perform console I/O
    after the instant prompt preamble. See the link below for details.

    * You will not see this error message again.
    * Zsh will start quickly and prompt will update smoothly.

  - Suppress this warning either by running p10k configure or by manually
    defining the following parameter:

      typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_INSTANT_PROMPT=quiet

    * You will not see this error message again.
    * Zsh will start quickly but prompt will jump down after initialization.

  - Disable instant prompt either by running p10k configure or by manually
    defining the following parameter:

      typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_INSTANT_PROMPT=off

    * You will not see this error message again.
    * Zsh will start slowly.

  - Do nothing.

    * You will see this error message every time you start zsh.
    * Zsh will start quickly but prompt will jump down after initialization.

For details, see:

-- console output produced during zsh initialization follows --
[oh-my-zsh] plugin 'zsh-syntax-highlighting' not found

Maybe I have installed plugins that are unsupported by zsh/oh-my-zsh/powerlevel10k?

At the bottom you can see this error message:

-- console output produced during zsh initialization follows --
[oh-my-zsh] plugin 'zsh-syntax-highlighting' not found

This tells you that you are trying to load zsh-syntax-highlighting plugin without having it installed. You need to either remove zsh-syntax-highlighting from plugins array in ~/.zshrc or install zsh-syntax-highlighting plugin with the following command:

git clone https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting.git ${ZSH_CUSTOM:-$HOME/.oh-my-zsh/custom}/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting

Note that this isn’t specific to Powerlevel10k. If you were to disable Powerlevel10k, you would still see the same error.

This plugin can be installed from the official Manjaro repos.

sudo pacman -S zsh-syntax-highlighting

Thanks. My .zshrc looks like this

# Enable Powerlevel10k instant prompt. Should stay close to the top of ~/.zshrc.
# Initialization code that may require console input (password prompts, [y/n]
# confirmations, etc.) must go above this block; everything else may go below.
if [[ -r "${XDG_CACHE_HOME:-$HOME/.cache}/p10k-instant-prompt-${(%):-%n}.zsh" ]]; then

The bottom line of this looks like the culprit. Should I change it to reflect the actual location of the plugin? What is this [[ ! -f ~/.p10k.zsh ]] || source ~/.p10k.zsh?

Thanks. It still didn’t work, though.

If you installed the zsh-syntax-highlighting package, the path is different. See the default Manjaro zsh config for clues:

I just came across this thread. I never about the synx highing package. I just did the reverse of what OP is trying to do and added to my zshrc. :sunglasses:
Thanks!!!

Thanks for the help, @Yochanan, but I just edited the last line in the config to reflect the actual location of the plugin and that seemed to solve it; I just forgot to mark the thread as solved. Thanks for the help anyway :slight_smile:

That’s exactly what I just pointed out. :wink:
