zgenom save throws errors on minimal install

[devth]

Tried setting up a minimal install with:

# Download zgenom
[[ -f "${HOME}/.zgenom/zgenom.zsh" ]] ||
    git clone --depth 1 -- \
        https://github.com/jandamm/zgenom.git "${HOME}/.zgenom"

source "${HOME}/.zgenom/zgenom.zsh"

# zgenom autoupdate

# if the init script doesn't exist
if ! zgenom saved; then
  echo "Creating a zgenom save"
  # source ~/.dotfiles/zsh_prompt.sh

  # save all to init script
  zgenom save

  # Compile your zsh files
  zgenom compile "$HOME/.zshrc"
  zgenom compile $ZDOTDIR
fi

Opening a new shell throws errors, and takes several seconds:

Do I need to manually create a ~/.zgenom/sources dir? Should that be mentioned in the installation instructions?

[devth]

After manually creating a ~/.zgenom/sources dir, it now prints this on shell startup:

/Users/trevorhartman/.zgenom/sources/init.zsh:source:19: no such file or directory:
/Users/trevorhartman/.zgenom/sources/init.zsh:source:21: no such file or directory:

contents of init.zsh is:

# {{{
# Generated by zgenom.
# This file will be overwritten the next time you run zgenom save!

# Don't source twice or when zgenom was invoked otherwise.
[[ -z $ZGENOM_PLUGINS ]] || return 0

export PMSPEC=0fiPs
export ZPFX=/Users/trevorhartman/.zgenom/polaris

ZGENOM_PLUGINS=()

# ### Plugins & Completions

# ### General modules

autoload -Uz compinit && \
   compinit -C 

# }}}

Thanks for reporting.

It seems no one has previously tried zgen/zgenom without actually cloning any repository 😅

[jandamm]

Is this something you encountered while testing things out or are you planning to use zgenom with local plugins only?

[devth]

Just testing things out. Rebuilding my zsh config since it's gotten slow over time. I was running some benchmarks and wanted to try zgenom without anything else to see if it added overhead.

Eventually I'd plan to add a few non-local plugins.

[jandamm]

In my tests the overhead of zgenom wasn't even a millisecond with a generated init.zsh and autoupdate.

In my opinion the time of sourcing init.zsh doesn't really count as zgenom time since you'd have to modify fpath and source plugins anyway.

I tested it by commenting out all zgenom code and sourcing the init.zsh manually vs the "normal" setup.
I also checked when not sourcing the init.zsh with zmodload zsh/zprof and came to the same result.

[devth]

Awesome.

[jandamm]

Should be working fine now 👍

[devth]

Thanks!
