Check for default starship file

Check for default starship file

sjames-au opened this issue a year ago · 6 comments

I'm new to zsh and exploring, but, have previously used starship, so figured this might be a good fit. It took me a bit to figure out why my config was not being picked up, but, I see you expect a STARSHIP_CONFIG variable. I dont use that and use the default ~/.config/starship.toml

It might help others that the default starship file location is also checked before the plugin provided configuration steps in to make it nice right out of the box.

If you set a STARSHIP_CONFIG environment variable before you call this plugin it worked for me.

Assuming you are using starship with a default config file, you the file path I reference in the original issue.

Out and about so can't be more specific :)

in my .zshrc :
export STARSHIP_CONFIG=/home/lorens/.config/starship.toml
eval "$(starship init zsh)"

the error is :
[ERROR] - (starship::config): Unable to read config file content: Permission denied (os error 13)

I found the proplem, I installed starship using snap store, The solution : delete it, install it from the orginal source .

I found the proplem, I installed starship using snap store, The solution : delete it, install it from the orginal source .

This is most likely due to a PATH issue and the snap paths are being added later in the .zshrc file.

Apologies for the delay in responding. I have updated the plugin to now allow for overriding the default theme using the STARSHIP_CONFIG environment variable or if there is a default starship configuration file present.

The README has also been updated to reflect these updates.
