Fish displaying a [I] before my prompt

LonelyPyxel · 2016-11-12 21:07:08

Yesterday, I installed the fish shell.
It was working fine until I booted into my system today to find a large

[I]

before my prompt

my fish config:

[I] /home/pyxel > cat .config/fish/config.fish 
function fish_prompt
	echo (pwd) "> "
end

Fish version:

[I] /home/pyxel > fish -v
fish, version 2.3.1

I haven't install anything like oh-my-fish.

It happens with all of the terminal emulators I have used.

Any help would be appreciated.

Do you get this in other shells, or just fish?

This only happens in fish. I tested bash, zsh, and sh, and they all looked fine.

Look through the initialisation files: http://fishshell.com/docs/current/index … ialization

If that fails, use `fish_config` to reset the prompt and see if that fixes it.

tested whether "echo (pwd)" produces that in fish? What about just "pwd"? "echo (echo foo)"?

Sorry for the late response.

[I] /home/pyxel > echo (pwd)
/home/pyxel
[I] /home/pyxel > pwd
/home/pyxel
[I] /home/pyxel > echo (echo foo)
foo

My initialisation files seem to be fine..

Resetting my prompt with fish_shell did not fix the issue.

On another note the output of fish_prompt is

[I] /home/pyxel > fish_prompt 
/home/pyxel >

Try running it without all that complexity: either start from scratch or remove half the file and see if the behaviour is present, if it is, bisect again...

Those are the stock fish initialisation files. I haven't edited them.

Reinstalling fish also has not fixed this issue.

Edit 2: changing my prompt doesn't help

[I] /home/pyxel > function fish_prompt
                      echo ">"
                  end
[I] >

anything interesting in ~/.config/fish/fishd.`hostname` ?

#LonleyPyxel

Have you tried running "fish_config" from an open fish terminal and choosing a prompt from the samples given when the web browser opens the page. Then setting it from the webpage.
This has worked for me.
