Additional context

I am seeing the same issue. I tried disabling Shell Integration as well. It didn't help.

This seems to happen only on MacOS, when I tried it on windows it was fine.

[atrepczik]

Same here on Ubuntu 22.04, reverting to v5 works around the problem

[MaxSchambach]

I'm facing the same issue on macOS and PyCharm 2023.3.3. Any ideas on how to solve or hotfix this?

Same issue. But works fine when "python" item is removed from right promt

[StefanLobbenmeierObjego]

in my case it was not python but kubernetes. I suspect several items are affected then.

I replaced the emoji with a dot like this: set --universal tide_kubectl_icon . and that seems to do the trick 😄

[HAOCHENYE]

For me, the unexpected icon is tide_python_icon. Set it to . save me 🤣

It seems like [email protected] was using the Unicode Helm Symbol for kubectl before switching to the Nerd Font Kubernetes icon (U+F10FE). Similarly, the Python symbol is now also a Nerd Font icon.

I believe this may be caused by the Jetbrains terminal not handling some Nerd Font characters correctly? Considering the prompt works fine in iTerm with the same icons, it seems likely that Jetbrains is to blame, probably due to handling ambiguous-width characters as double-width.

In the mean time, setting tide_kubectl_icon to the Unicode Helm symbol seemed to work, and setting tide_python_icon to another Python NF icon (U+E73C) seems to work better — this one may not be treated as ambiguous width by Jetbrains, I'm not entirely sure.

[StefanLobbenmeierObjego]

The python icon is also broken in my iterm, maybe I have to update the font to use it?

But I went ahead and looked up the icons @pieterrombauts mentioned so it is hopefully possible to just copy paste them:

# Python: copied from https://www.unicodepedia.com/unicode/private-use-area/e73c/private-use-area-e73c/
set --universal tide_python_icon 

# Kubernetes: copied from https://www.unicodepedia.com/unicode/miscellaneous-technical/2388/helm-symbol/
set --universal tide_kubectl_icon ⎈

Anyone here has any other icons they had issues with? Also could someone test the linked PR on Linux?

fisher remove ilancosman/tide@v6 fisher install StefanLobbenmeierObjego/tide@patch-1 Then reconfigured, enabled "Show many Icons": tide configure --auto --style=Lean --prompt_colors='True color' --show_time='24-hour format' --lean_prompt_height='One line' --prompt_spacing=Compact --icons='Many icons' --transient=No

@StefanLobbenmeierObjego The alternative icons from your PR work for me on Arch Linux, the terminal in IntelliJ behaves properly!

[pieterrombauts]

I feel a bit hesitant to immediately revert the icons to once that avoid the issue in Jetbrains since the current icons are nicer in my opinion (like using the real Kubernetes logo instead of a generic ship steering wheel). Ideally, Jetbrains should fix their terminal implementation to support the Nerd Font icons, but they have a very old issue that doesn't seem to be high priority. I don't think Tide should have to decrease the user experience for the majority of users that use this prompt with other terminals that have implemented proper Nerd Font support.

Maybe a better solution for this would be to have an additional step in the configuration process to opt to disable Nerd-Font icons, and instead use generic single-width unicode icons instead.

[sandersteenhoudt]

@pieterrombauts I agree, @StefanLobbenmeierObjego's PR is a workaround for a bug that JetBrains should fix in their products, not a bug with Tide or its icons. I would also much rather use the default icons and I think they should not be replaced just so JetBrains IDEs play nice with them. However, having a non-functional terminal in your IDE is a PITA, so at the very least it's nice to know this workaround exists.

I see, upvoted the linked youtrack issue, maybe we can get the ball rolling there 😄 i can understand that this project does not want to work around the intellij bug, so for me it is fine to just revert the icons manually.

The python icon is also broken in my iterm, maybe I have to update the font to use it?

I could also confirm that iTerm handles the new icons correctly after installing the fonts again
