init.bat always uses "npm" as window title

[Daniel15]

In ConEmu settings → Main → Tab bar, I set the console tab template to %s. This uses the tab's title on the tab bar, rather than the process name (%n, which I believe is the default for cmder).

With this configuration, a regular cmd.exe tab will display cmd by default, and cmd - command when executing a command. However, the init.bat file provided with cmder results in the title always being set to npm. You can replicate this outside of ConEmu too, by opening cmd.exe and running:

set ConEmuDir=c:\apps\cmder\vendor\conemu-maximus5
C:\apps\cmder\vendor\init.bat

(replacing c:\apps\cmder\ with the right path)

Strangely I don't see npm mentioned anywhere in init.bat, so I can't work out where it's coming from.

I'm having the same problem and it's driving me a bit crazy. This line in init.bat is the culprit:

@"%CMDER_ROOT%\vendor\clink\clink_x%architecture%.exe" inject --quiet --profile "%CMDER_ROOT%\config"

Then clink goes and makes a few npm-related calls:

vendor/clink-completions/coho.lua:        "npm-publish-tag",
vendor/clink-completions/coho.lua:        "npm-unpublish-nightly",
vendor/clink-completions/coho.lua:        "npm-link",
vendor/clink-completions/npm.lua:function get_npm_cache_location()
vendor/clink-completions/npm.lua:    local proc = io.popen("npm config get cache 2>nul")
vendor/clink-completions/npm.lua:local cached_modules = matchers.create_dirs_matcher(get_npm_cache_location()..'/*')
vendor/clink-completions/npm.lua:local npm_parser = parser({
vendor/clink-completions/npm.lua:clink.arg.register_parser("npm", npm_parser)
vendor/clink-completions/npm_prompt.lua:function npm_prompt_filter()
vendor/clink-completions/npm_prompt.lua:clink.prompt.register_filter(npm_prompt_filter, 40)

I've tried to override the title with RenameTab and title in multiple places, but so far I don't get the desired result. The title on the tab bar behaves correctly here, it's the little preview window in the taskbar that shows npm.

I'm using version 1.2.9.

Good catch @jorgeesquer, I can repro just by running Clink using that same command. I cross-posted in the Clink repo in case it's a Clink issue: mridgers/clink#397

@Daniel15, you probably can fix it by either switching to 1.3.0-pre at https://github.com/cmderdev/cmder/releases/tag/v1.3.0-pre or getting a latest version of clink-completions and unzipping it to your Cmder/vendor directory

Thanks @vladimir-kotikov! Switching to clink-completions 0.2.2 fixes this issue :)
