.oh-my-zsh/cache/completions has changed since chezmoi last wrote it [overwrite,all-overwrite,skip,quit]?

[Syzygianinfern0]

I've just started using chezmoi and I have this in my .chezmoiexternal.toml

[".oh-my-zsh"]
    type = "archive"
    url = "https://github.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/archive/master.tar.gz"
    exact = true
    stripComponents = 1
    refreshPeriod = "168h"
[".oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/zsh-syntax-highlighting"]
    type = "archive"
    url = "https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting/archive/master.tar.gz"
    exact = true
    stripComponents = 1
    refreshPeriod = "168h"
[".oh-my-zsh/custom/themes/powerlevel10k"]
    type = "archive"
    url = "https://github.com/romkatv/powerlevel10k/archive/master.tar.gz"
    exact = true
    stripComponents = 1
    refreshPeriod = "168h"

Every time I make any changes and run the chezmoi apply command, I always get this

I think this is related. But I'm not super sure.

Have you explicitly disabled oh-my-zsh auto-updates? If not, oh-my-zsh updating itself will change files outside of chezmoi, which would explain the errors you're getting.

From the documentation:

When using Oh My Zsh, make sure you disable auto-updates by setting DISABLE_AUTO_UPDATE="true" in ~/.zshrc. Auto updates will cause the ~/.oh-my-zsh directory to drift out of sync with chezmoi's source state. To update Oh My Zsh and its plugins, refresh the downloaded archives.

I think this solves the problem wrt .oh-my-zsh/cache/.zsh-update but not the other files which are caches of user input/completions.

Since these are caches and will will never be included in the oh-my-zsh package, is there a way to get chezmoi to ignore them?

I.e. a line to add to the .chezmoiexternal.toml to create an exclusion filter?

[twpayne]

To get chezmoi to ignore these files, add their relative paths to ~/.local/share/chezmoi/.chezmoiignore, for example:

$ cat ~/.local/share/chezmoi/.chezmoiignore
.oh-my-zsh/cache
.oh-my-zsh/cache/**
.oh-my-zsh/**/*.zwc

This /should/ work. Please do report back if it doesn't.

Just tried this and resolves the issue for me. Thanks!
