[Bug]: Liquidprompt (LP) theme has fallen out-of-sync with the Liquidprompt project

[DarrenBishop]

Expected behavior

No errors; correct prompt when navigating VCS/Git repositories

Current behavior

Missing _lp_escape() function; this occurs when working in Git repositories.

An error is shown every time the prompt is built i.e. every time you enter a command and hit .

It also manifests as only the Git commit hash being featured in the prompt; never the branch or tag name.

Possible solution

My workaround at the moment is to amend the themes/liquidprompt/liquidprompt.theme.bash file:

• Update the project reference to github.com/liquidprompt/liquidprompt
• Delete (comment out) all Liquidprompt function overrides

Context

I first became aware of this issue when my PS1 failed on _lp_escape() whenever I did anything in a Git repository - this was something I could ignore for only so long, and then took me forever to track down.

The themes/liquidprompt/liquidprompt.theme.bash file references an old Liquidprompt Github project URL i.e.

github.com/nojhan/liquidprompt

instead of

github.com/liquidprompt/liquidprompt

Further on in that theme file, there are LP function overrides that nolonger match (by name) what they once targeted; for example:

• _lp_git_branch() was renamed in LP to _lp_vcs_branch()
  • LP also shifted to an output variable style, rather than printing results to stdout - with the expectation that that would be later captured - e.g. branch="$(_lp_git_branch)" no longer works
• _lp_escape() was renamed to __lp_escape i.e. made private (that is, it's now an unstable API)
  • Similar return value vs stdout change as per _lp_vcs_branch mentioned above
• I am not sure what the situation is re: the _lp_time() and _lp_temp_*() function overrides are but. I have neither sensors nor acpi commands installed on my Mac to test with or talk about.

There is a fair amount going on in this theme file, by way of overrides and short-circuiting LP bits and pieces - more than I can comprehend - that I can not tell are still necessary or effective.

Steps to reproduce

Presumably, enable the liquidpormpt theme i.e.

export BASH_IT_THEME=liquidprompt

## Bash-it Loading
## Profile Configuration
Note: /Users/darren/.bash_profile is a symlink to /Users/darren/bash_sync/bash_profile
Grep detection unclear, testing if .bashrc actually loads...
✗ .bashrc is NOT sourced from /Users/darren/.bash_profile
  Warning: bash-it will not load in login shells (Terminal.app, SSH sessions)
  Fix: Add the following to /Users/darren/.bash_profile:

    if [ -n "$BASH_VERSION" ]; then
        if [ -f "$HOME/.bashrc" ]; then
            . "$HOME/.bashrc"

FYI, my .bashrc works just fine
