How to make Oh-My-Bash compatible with Tabby shell working directory reporting?

[charleech]

Hi,

I’m using Tabby (https://github.com/eugeny/tabby) and would like SFTP to follow the current directory by applying the configuration described here: https://github.com/Eugeny/tabby/wiki/Shell-working-directory-reporting

Specifically, I’m using:

export PS1="$PS1\[\e]1337;CurrentDir="'$(pwd)\a\]'

This works correctly with a bare Bash setup. However, when using Oh-My-Bash, the working directory is no longer updated as expected.

Could you please advise how to configure or override the Oh-My-Bash prompt configuration so that it remains compliant with Tabby’s requirement for reporting the current directory?

Thank you very much for your help in advance. I look forward to hearing from you.

.bash_profile

# .bash_profile

# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
        . ~/.bashrc

# User specific environment and startup programs

.bashrc

# Enable the subsequent settings only in interactive sessions
case $- in

# Path to your oh-my-bash installation.
export OSH='/home/admin/.oh-my-bash'

# Set name of the theme to load. Optionally, if you set this to "random"
# it'll load a random theme each time that oh-my-bash is loaded.
OSH_THEME="powerline"

# this variable.  The default behavior for the empty value is "true".

# Which completions would you like to load? (completions can be found in ~/.oh-my-bash/completions/*)
# Custom completions may be added to ~/.oh-my-bash/custom/completions/
# Example format: completions=(ssh git bundler gem pip pip3)
# Add wisely, as too many completions slow down shell startup.

# Which aliases would you like to load? (aliases can be found in ~/.oh-my-bash/aliases/*)

Could you try this?

# at the end of ~/.bashrc

function _tabby_shell_working_directory_reporting {
  printf '\e]1337;CurrentDir=%s\a' "$(pwd)" >/dev/tty
}
_omb_util_add_prompt_command _tabby_shell_working_directory_reporting

Thank you very much for your quick reply.

After following your advice, everything works like a charm—Tabby SFTP now follows the current directory correctly.

Thanks again!
