Troubleshooting Oh-My-Fish configuration making fish really slow

Question

Without changing the configuration my fish shell started to be really slow, like between 1 and 5 seconds to a simple ls command.

Note that the slow behaviour started suddenly. I have a local install and no admin rights.

I have no set -U var in my config files or other “add to path” problem that could give long (path) variables to process.

I know it is not much to proceed right now but I will add more information if I can.

I managed to pinned down that Oh My Fish is responsible by renaming ~/.config/fish/conf.d/omf.fish, but my ~/.local/share/omf directory contains so much that I need some leads to troubleshoot. I have the bobthefish theme.

The command omf doctor gives

Oh My Fish version:   7
OS type:              Linux
Fish version:         fish, version 3.1.0
Git version:          git version 2.25.1
Git core.autocrlf:    no
Checking for a sane environment...
Your shell is ready to swim.

Update: without changing anything everything went back to normal. I suspect a command in the prompt was temporarilly taking a long time and that the server was at fault, not Oh-My-Fish.

Answer 1

Turns out fish was not at fault, even if I don't know what was. I'm gessing a call in the prompt that is not on the vanilla prompt. I'll accept this answer after a while in case anyone has a better idea of what might have happened.
