Newline flag removes right modules

[polothy]

Using v1.13.0 with this config:

function powerline_precmd() {
    eval "$($GOPATH/bin/powerline-go -error $? -shell zsh -eval -newline -modules 'venv,cwd,perms,git,jobs,exit,root,vgo' -modules-right 'aws')"
}

function install_powerline_precmd() {
    for s in "${precmd_functions[@]}"; do
        if [ "$s" = "powerline_precmd" ]; then
            return
        fi
    done
    precmd_functions+=(powerline_precmd)
}

if [ "$TERM" != "linux" ]; then
    install_powerline_precmd
fi

With the -newline flag, right modules no longer displays. Without -newline, then right modules do display.

Same for me, -newline flag removes right modules at all

Newline on its own line is not really possible with the current implementation of right modules, sadly. This would require a major rework

Note that the workaround for this is to use the newline and root modules like: powerline-go -colorize-hostname -eval -modules 'user,host,cwd,newline,root' -modules-right 'time' -shell zsh

does this work with bash?

@wjam Does that actually work for you? Your exact command for me does not actually include a newline - there's a visual space between the CWD segment and the root segment, but they're on the same line. I'm using ZSH as well.

Yes, mine works. My dotfiles repo contains my current configuration which has a ZSH theme that makes use of JSON config file for powerline-go.

For me, if I use the --eval option, newline doesn't work at all... it just inserts a space where the newline should be.
