gnome-terminal tab title broken about pureline HOT 6 CLOSED

I've pushed this change. Hopefully the issue is now resolved?

I've just tested with gnome-terminal and it works fine for me. Your choice of terminal app should not have any effect on bash PROMPT_COMMAND.

Can you give more detail? Do you get any error messages in your terminal? Can you cd to the directory with the pureline file and:

source ./pureline

and let use know what happens and what output you get?

Output of source ./pureline:

Notice that the title bar just has "Terminal" in it.

If I now change PROMPT_COMMAND as follows:

export PROMPT_COMMAND='printf "\033]0;%s@%s:%s\007" "${USER}" "${HOSTNAME%%.*}" "${PWD/#$HOME/~}"'

Notice now that the title has changed to show username, hostname and cwd:

If I change directory, the title changes accordingly

If I undo the manual setting of PROMPT_COMMAND I did above, so that I get the pureline PROMPT_COMMAND, you can see the PS1 prompt updates (notice the sudden appearance of the red lock to signal read-only) when I change directory to /usr/local/bin, but the window's title no longer updates.

Actually, through taking you through all these steps, I realised that the title is set to STDOUT of the result of executing ${PROMT_COMMAND}, escaped between \033 and \007

So whilst pureline_ps1 sets the PS1 variable, I can also have the title set by adding a printf call at the end

function pureline_ps1 {

	...
	PS1+=...
	...

	printf "\033]0;%s@%s:%s\007" "${USER}" "${HOSTNAME%%.*}" "${PWD/#$HOME/~}"
}

Obviously the printf statement I've shown here is hardcoded, and a better approach would be to loop over your modules.

My bashfu isn't good enough to figure that out just yet.

I see the issue. I wasn't aware as I don't use window decorations. This is happening because pureline overwrites the PROMPT_COMMAND. This was an intentional change due to feedback. I might look to change this or find an alternative. Anyway ... the quick fix is to change the last line of pureline from;

PROMPT_COMMAND=pureline_ps1
to
PROMPT_COMMAND="pureline_ps1; $PROMPT_COMMAND"

This appends your default setting after pureline.
