Ok . . I'm trying to take the plunge, and I'm running into some strangnesses
that I can't explain. So, I did a chsh to change my login shell to fish.
And, when I first log in, things work really strangely. type, whereis, and
a few other scripts do not function properly. BUT -- if I then exec, or
shell fish again, they do.
And, my path is set completely differently. Ok -- so -- that could just be
some weird login -vs- interactive shell setting. I get that. But, here's
the really strange part. In my home directory's config.fish, I have this
snippet:
if [ -d ~/bin ]
echo "PATH before: " $PATH
set -g PATH $PATH ~/bin
echo "PATH after: " $PATH
end
So, if my ~/bin exists, it will be appended to the path. For the login
shell, this works. For all other shells, the code executes, but the path
does NOT change -- WTF?!?!?!
Here's what it looks like when I start with a login shell, then manually run
fish (even though "type" can't find it, it's still in the path at
/usr/local/bin/fish -- as shown by the executable "type"). WTF am I doing
wrong?
