zgenom update zcompile error

[mlhynfield]

I recently noticed that whenever I run zgenom update and open a new terminal, I get the following error:

__zgenom_compile:zcompile:2: can't write zwc file: /Users/mlhynfield/.zcompdump-MHYNFIELD – LAPTOP-5.8.zwc

I'm guessing this comes from the zgenom-compile -U $ZGEN_CUSTOM_COMPDUMP command in zgenom-save (based on some testing).

It seems like the referenced .zwc file exists, so it may be created elsewhere anyway, but is there anything I can do to remove the error?

Thanks for reporting.
The issue is that you have an invalid character in your computer name: –.
While it looks like a - it is a bit longer and cannot be passed to zcompile as output name.

There have been similar reports with the default name of macs where a ’ is contained. See #100

I haven't gotten around to it but I plan to move the zcompdump generated by zgenom to zgenom/sources so this issue won't happen again.

For now you could use $ZGEN_CUSTOM_COMPDUMP to overwrite the default name. Ideally you'd remove this variable when I add the fix.

Thank you for the response, will do!

@mlhynfield if you update to the newest version of zgenom you should be able to remove $ZGEN_CUSTOM_COMPDUMP and the issue should be gone. 👍
