help setting TRAMP prompt pattern

help setting TRAMP prompt pattern

[Luca Ferrari]

Hi all,
again, I'm fighting against TRAMP and a remote host having zsh. If, on
the same machine, TRAMP connects to a Bash shell everything works as
expected, however if connecting to a zsh prompt it hangs.

Bash prompt:
[luca@rachel ~]$ echo $PS1
[\u@\h \W]\$

Zsh prompt
[luca@rachel]~% echo $PROMPT
[%n@%m]%~%#

Tramp tramp-shell-prompt-pattern
"\\(?:^\\|
\\)[^]#$%>
]*#?[]#$%>] *\\( \\[[[:digit:];]*[[:alpha:]] *\\)*"

Emacs version 28.2, Tramp version 2.5.3.28.2.

How can I get the prompt sequence to adjust the pattern?

Thanks,
Luca

Read the Tramp manual (info "(tramp) Frequently Asked Questions")

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
          When using zsh on remote hosts, disable zsh line editor
          because zsh uses left-hand side and right-hand side prompts in
          parallel.  Add the following line to ‘~/.zshrc’:

               [[ $TERM == "dumb" ]] && unsetopt zle && PS1='$ ' && return
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Thanks, it works.
