TIL: prompt matters to org-mode
A workmate just embellished some shell code blocks I'd put in a shared org-mode
file with :session s
. When I tried to run the blocks with sessions my emacs
just froze up though. I found a post on the emacs StackExchange that offered a
possible cause for it: the prompt.
I'm using bash-it so my prompt is rather far from the default.
After inspecting the session buffer simply added the following to my ~/.bashrc
if [[ ${TERM} == "dumb" ]]; then export BASH_IT_THEME='standard' else export BASH_IT_THEME='simple' fi
and now I can finally run shell code blocks in sessions.
