nvcsformats not working on 5.2

nvcsformats not working on 5.2

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?

This is working for me in current zsh revision pulled from git:

torch% setopt prompt_subst
torch% add-zsh-hook precmd vcs_info
torch% zstyle ':vcs_info:*' nvcsformats "%~" ""
torch% PS1='[%n] ${vcs_info_msg_0_}%# '
[schaefer] ~% cd zsh-5.0
[schaefer]  (cvs)-[zsh/zsh-5.0]-% cd /tmp
[schaefer] /tmp% 

I didn't try on MacOS, though.

Yup, this is a known issue:

  http://www.zsh.org/mla/workers/2015/msg03258.html

That thread has the fix as well.
