Prompt color in terminal inside vim changes #224

Role92 · 2021-01-21T16:28:27Z

What happened

When the colorscheme is active and I launch a terminal inside vim (via :terminal), the colors of the bash prompt are different from what I have set in .bashrc. Sometimes it changes them to the dracula colors (pink and yellow) and sometimes it is just plain white.

What I expected to happen

The shell prompt inside vim should not differ from the one in any other terminal (emulator).

My standard bash prompt (outside vim):

Machine Info

Vim type (vim/gvim/neovim): vim
Vim version: 8.2 including patches 1-814
OS: Linux gentoo 5.10.7-gentoo I would like to make an option to use the ANSI colors #1 SMP Fri Jan 15 21:48:43 CET 2021 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
Terminal/Terminal Emulator/VTE: alacritty
TERM environment variable: alacritty
I have also tried setting the $TERM variable to diferent values like xterm-256color or tmux-256color. The results are the same.

Additional Info

The same thing happens on my Artix system, so the problem also occurs on precompiled versions of vim and is not specific to my self-compiled vim on gentoo.

I'm not altogether surprised. Getting terminal_ansi_colors to play nicely with term and everything else is not always straightforward.

Do you have a terminfo compiled for alacritty? Here's mine:

I also have this hack in my vimrc to get 'term' correct:

if $TERM =~# '\v(tmux-256color)|(alacritty)'
  " so colors work properly in :term, because apparently vim will default to
  " `xterm` for :term when 'term' doesn't start with xterm...
  "
  " Phew. Glad that sentence is terminated.
  set term=xterm-256color

Thanks for the quick reply! I tried putting your $TERM hack into my .vimrc, but it had no effect.
Here is my terminfo for alacritty:

What is :set term?? :let g:terminal_ansi_colors?

Role92 · 2021-01-22T04:45:04Z

:set term

term=alacritty

let g:terminal_ansi_colors

I will try to user your terminfo files alongside with your .vimrc hack later when I get back from work.
