Bash powerline somehow broken after setting zsh as default shell (Manjaro/Arch)

[fiechr]

This may not be a bug at all, but I don't know where to ask...

I've used the package manager to install powerline-go and it worked flawlessly with Bash as default shell for my user account. I'm using the Fira Code Nerd Font and the Plasma Konsole application as well as kitty terminal.

Yesterday I decided to try out zsh (without powerline-go for now) and switch the default shell using chsh. But if I now open a new window with Bash explicitly set as shell (while the default shell still being zsh), I only get this:

The font is still the same and $TERM is set to xterm-256color. It's the same in Konsole and kitty. Shell looks fine, when I comment the added lines for powerline-go in the .bashrc.

Any ideas what could cause this?

try to pass -shell bash in _update_ps1 function in your .bashrc

Thanks!

Could this get pinned/added to README? I've spent way too long trying to reinstall everything several times thinking I was keeping some corrupted files somewhere

I believe this may have been fixed with #312.

Explicitly setting the shell isn't a bad idea when applicable though, as doing so avoids doing the shell detection repeatedly which might (or not) cause measurable amount of time spent on each run.
