Fix zsh tput unknown terminal

on technology

When I tried to login my shell, iTerm2 will output these messages:

Last login: Wed May 27 08:29:16 on tty??
tput: unknown terminal "xterm-color"
tput: unknown terminal "xterm-color"
tput: unknown terminal "xterm-color"
tput: unknown terminal "xterm-color"
tput: unknown terminal "xterm-color"
~ %

Even though I have set ENV in ~/.zshrc:

export TERMINFO=/usr/share/terminfo
export TERM=xterm-256color

It seems that my setting is not working.

Same case happens as using fish-shell:

fish: Could not set up terminal

The hacking solution is to change iTerm2’s preference:

Inside Profiles, set every profile’s General -> Command to a customized Command:

env TERM="xterm-256color" TERMINFO="/usr/share/terminfo" /usr/local/bin/zsh

If you like using fish, you can fix that command to

env TERM="xterm-256color" TERMINFO="/usr/share/terminfo" /usr/local/bin/fish

Note: Keep in mind that $TERM does exist in $TERMINFO !
