oh-my-zsh plugins not working

I've just discovered oh-my-zsh, but I can't get it to work. While themes work just perfectly, plugins do not. I have some plugins selected, eg. macports, but neither I get port command completion nor do appropriate aliases work. Here's my .zshrc:



    # Path to your oh-my-zsh configuration.
    export ZSH=$HOME/.oh-my-zsh

    # Set name of the theme to load.
    # Look in ~/.oh-my-zsh/themes/
    # Optionally, if you set this to "random", it'll load a random theme each
    # time that oh-my-zsh is loaded.
    export ZSH_THEME="steeef"

    # Set to this to use case-sensitive completion
    # export CASE_SENSITIVE="true"

    # Comment this out to disable weekly auto-update checks
    # export DISABLE_AUTO_UPDATE="true"

    # Uncomment following line if you want to disable colors in ls
    # export DISABLE_LS_COLORS="true"

    # Uncomment following line if you want to disable autosetting terminal title.
    # export DISABLE_AUTO_TITLE="true"

    # Which plugins would you like to load? (plugins can be found in ~/.oh-my-zsh/plugins/*)
    # Example format: plugins=(rails git textmate ruby lighthouse)
    plugins=(git osx github macports textmate svn)

    source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh

    # Customize to your needs...
    export     PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin/:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin/:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/local/cuda/bin:/usr/local/cuda/bin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin

textmate and osx plugins also do not seem to work - zsh just complains about unknown command and stops. git and svn have some basic completion but I'm not sure whether it's done by plugin or just a normal zsh completion. Do I have to export something to use those plugins? Or if not, what to do to have that fixed?

In my case, in ~/.zshrc I had repeated plugins variable

plugins=(git)
.
.
.
plugins=(git autojump zsh-syntax-highlighting zsh-autosuggestions)

Check to see if this is the case with you because with this only your git plugin will be used.

Remove the first plugins variable and it should work.

I was running into this with the kubectl plugin.

Looking at the contents of ~/.oh-my-zsh/plugins/kubectl/kubectl.plugin.zsh I realized I didn't have the same content as what was on the github repo. Manually updating the file with the contents from the oh-my-zsh repo helped and the plugin started to work. Guess I had to update my oh-my-zsh installation to get the latest plugin content but this worked for me.

In my case,I forgot to add custom plugin name to .zshrc file:

plugins=(customPluginName)

And reload .zshrc:

source ~/.zshrc
user_105727630

make sure the folders of the plugins are located in the ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins folder. I will advise you are on this directory when you git clone the plugins.
Secondly ensure that you seperate the list of plugins in the ~/.zshrc file with a single space NOT comma.

.
.
.
plugin = (git zsh-syntax-highlighting)

.
.
.

So in the above example, two plugins are added there: git and zsh-syntax-highlighting.

If your .zshrc has this at the top

export ZSH="~/.oh-my-zsh"

try to changing it to:

export ZSH="$HOME/.oh-my-zsh"
user_36254330

Try manually source your plugins like this:

source ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions/zsh-autosuggestions.zsh

Full .zshrc example:

# Which plugins would you like to load? (plugins can be found in ~/.oh-my-zsh/plugins/*)
# Example format: plugins=(rails git textmate ruby lighthouse)

plugins=(zsh-autosuggestions)

source ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom/plugins/zsh-autosuggestions/zsh-autosuggestions.zsh
