Hi, I have noticed an issue on 5.2 which is not present on 5.0. I tested it on macOS Sierra (zsh installed view homebrew) and on Debian 8 (zsh built from source). The problem is with the vcs_info module. I set nvcsformats like zstyle ':vcs_info:*' nvcsformats "%~" "" which should make $vcs_info_msg_0_ return the current working directory after vcs_info is called. I do it in a similar way for formats like zstyle ':vcs_info:*' formats "%S" "${path_color}%r/" which works without a problem inside a git repository. Outside a git repository (where nvcsformats should be used) $vcs_info_msg_0_ is empty. This has worked (ie $vcs_info_msg_0_ was set to "%~") before and it is still working on that debian machine with zsh from the debian-repository (which is 5.0.7). Is this new or a known issue? -- Tobias Witt Head of Technology E-Mail: ich@dwgadf.de Mobil: +49 (0) 173 - 29 0 98 62 Web: http://www.thisdone.de Höft & Witt GbR – Lindenstraße 47 – 40233 Düsseldorf Geschäftsführer: Nicolas Höft und Tobias Witt Umsatzsteuer-ID: DE277422459
