The error message uses «$1», but it is always unset at that point.
Furthermore, the NO_UNSET (-u) option is in effect. Therefore, when the
error message was to be printed, zsh's NO_UNSET error message was
printed instead:
.
(anon):20: 1: parameter not set
That error message was printed to stderr, and was caught by the caller
within the test harness:
.
Bail out! On './highlighters/main/test-data/path_prefix3.zsh': output on stderr
Thus, the bug being fixed would not caused false positive or false
negative test results, but only wrong error messages.
Follow-up to 0.7.1-71-ge6eea1f, "test harness: Don't leak options from
test files to the test harness".
zsh-syntax-highlighting 
Fish shell-like syntax highlighting for Zsh.
Requirements: zsh 4.3.11+.
This package provides syntax highlighting for the shell zsh. It enables highlighting of commands whilst they are typed at a zsh prompt into an interactive terminal. This helps in reviewing commands before running them, particularly in catching syntax errors.

FAQ
Why must zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh be sourced at the end of the .zshrc file?
zsh-syntax-highlighting.zsh wraps ZLE widgets. It must be sourced after all
custom widgets have been created (i.e., after all zle -N calls and after
running compinit). Widgets created later will work, but will not update the
syntax highlighting.
Does syntax highlighting work during incremental history search?
Highlighting the command line during an incremental history search (by default bound to to Ctrl+R in zsh's emacs keymap) requires zsh 5.4 or newer.
Under zsh versions older than 5.4, the zsh-default underlining of the matched portion of the buffer remains available, but zsh-syntax-highlighting's additional highlighting is unavailable. (Those versions of zsh do not provide enough information to allow computing the highlighting correctly.)
See issues #288 and #415 for details.
How are new releases announced?
There is currently no "push" announcements channel. However, the following alternatives exist:
- GitHub's RSS feed of releases: https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting/releases.atom
- An anitya entry: https://release-monitoring.org/project/7552/
How to tweak
Syntax highlighting is done by pluggable highlighter scripts. See the documentation on highlighters for details and configuration settings.
