Long terminal prompts are cut off instead of wrapping

[detly]

Describe the bug

Long prompts eg. for removing or overwriting files, are cut off at the right side in the terminal. This makes it impossible to (a) see what the options are and (b) see what they're for.

To reproduce

1. Add some files with relatively long paths
2. Maybe resize your terminal to be a bit narrow
3. Use chezmoi rm to remove them

Expected behavior

I'd expect the prompt to wrap.

Output of command with the --verbose flag

It's the same with or without --verbose. I started with zsh -f to try to reduce variation a bit.

~ ⚬ zsh -f
gary% cd .config/sublime-text/Packages/User 
gary% chezmoi rm Meson.sublime-syntax       
Remove /home/jason/.config/sublime-text/Packages/User/Meson.sublime-syntax and /home/jason/.loca

That's actually it - there's no more text. Here's a screenshot:

I can't scroll that eg. by pressing →, or reflow it by resizing the window. I can exit it with Q or Ctrl+C.

Additional context

This is not a recent change, I just haven't gotten around to filing an issue until now.

Chezmoi is installed via Snap, on Ubuntu 23.10. I tried this on Bash, Dash and Zsh, all with the same results.

Thanks for reporting this.

Under the hood, chezmoi uses BubbleTea's textinput component, which isn't aware of the terminal width. There are longstanding bugs open related to this (charmbracelet/bubbles#291, charmbracelet/bubbles#307). Rather than trying to fix this upstream, I'll fork a new text input component.

In the short term you can work around the problem by specifying the --no-tty flag.

I've opened charmbracelet/bubbles#483 to track this in charmbracelet/bubbles.
