When I try to start fish directly from the Windows shell instead of from bash, I get a boatload of errors, like this:
=== /usr/share/fish/functions/type.fish (line 14): if not getopt -T > /dev/null ^ in function 'type', called on standard input, with parameter list '-p command-not-found' in function '__fish_command_not_found_setup', called on line 2 of file '/home/andrex/.config/fish/functions/fish_promp t.fish', with parameter list 'cut' in event handler: handler for generic event 'fish_command_not_found' /usr/share/fish/functions/type.fish (line 26): if not getopt $options $ argv >/dev/null ^ in function 'type', called on standard input, with parameter list '-p command-not-found' in function '__fish_command_not_found_setup', called on line 2 of file '/home/andrex/.config/fish/functions/fish_promp t.fish', with parameter list 'cut' in event handler: handler for generic event 'fish_command_not_found' === and so on. The problem seems to be that the PATH isn't set correctly. PATH doesn't include /bin or /usr/bin: === andrex@ > echo $PATH fish: Unknown command '__fish_pwd' Standard input: echo $_ " "; __fish_pwd ^ in command substitution called on standard input, /win/c/Program Files/Common Files/Microsoft Shared/Microsoft Online Services /wi n/c/Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Microsoft Shared/Microsoft Online Services /win/c/Windows/system32 /win/c/Windows /win/c/Windows/System32/Wbem /win/c/Windo ws/System32/WindowsPowerShell/v1.0 === If I edit /etc/fish/config.fish and add: set PATH /bin /usr/bin $PATH then fish starts normally. Should something like this be added to /etc/fish/config.fish or /usr/share/fish/config.fish? This matters because if I want to make fish my default shell, I need it to start on its own with a usable PATH set.
