Error during initialization

[oatkins]

I get the following error when opening a PowerShell session after following the setup instructions.

Method invocation failed because [PoshGitTextSpan] does not contain a method named 'op_Addition'.
At C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\posh-dynargs\0.1.0.4\posh-dynargs.psm1:36 char:5

Tab completion doesn't seem to work :-(

What version of PowerShell and PoshGit are you running?

[oatkins]

This was on a managed Win 10 machine (PS 5?), with the latest version of PoshGit from the PS Gallery feed.

I love the idea for this so it would be nice to get it working :-)

[tygerbytes]

I wonder if something else is customizing $GitPromptSettings.DefaultPromptPrefix and setting it to a PoshGitTextSpan object instead of a plain old string or string array.

Try editing your profile script ($profile) and add $GitPromptSettings.DefaultPromptPrefix = '' right before the line that imports the posh-dynargs module (Import-Module posh-dynargs.psd1)

If that works then maybe I'll adjust that line to just print a warning and clobber the existing value of $GitPromptSettings.DefaultPromptPrefix if it's set to something besides a string.

Ideally I'd love to find a better PoshGit hook than "DefaultPromptPrefix".

[oatkins]

Hmm. No joy!

Versions are as follows:

C:\src\... [my-branch ↑8 +0 ~1 -0 !]> $PSVersionTable.PSVersion

Major  Minor  Build  Revision
-----  -----  -----  --------
5      1      17134  590

C:\src\... [my-branch ↑8 +0 ~1 -0 !]> (Get-Module posh-git).Version

Major  Minor  Build  Revision
-----  -----  -----  --------
1      0      0      -1

Ah! That would be it. Sorry! It looks as though I've got a Beta version of Posh-Git installed. It must be that.

So, $GitPromptSettings.DefaultPromptPrefix = $null works around this for the time being.

[tygerbytes]

Good news on the workaround! 👍 I went ahead and made the change to print a warning and set $GitPromptSettings.DefaultPromptPrefix to $null if it's anything besides a string.

If the change makes it through Chocolatey moderation, version 0.1.0.5 should be available in a few days.

It took a few weeks for the change to go through the Choco mods. Any success with version 0.1.0.5?
