Hi Ronny
There are 3 different variable contexts, local, global and universal.
When setting a variable that already exists you don't need to specify
the context as it will use the context for the existing variable.
Although what you're doing seems correct I suspect you're creating an
additional PATH variable in a different context. I think this should do it
set -x PATH /opt/subversion/bin /opt/postgresql/bin /bin /usr/bin /usr/sbin
/sbin /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/bin /Users/ronny/bin
or even
set PATH /opt/subversion/bin ... $PATH (... are additional directories you wish
to add)

I hate to reply to my own emails, but I forgot to mention that fishd
seemed to have saved it, though:
ro...@iron ~> grep " PATH:" ~/.config/fish/fishd.iron
SET_EXPORT
PATH:/opt/subversion/bin\x1e/opt/postgresql/bin\x1e/bin\x1e/usr/bin\x1e/usr/sbin\x1e/sbin\x1e/usr/local/Cellar/fish/1.23.1/bin\x1e/usr/local/sbin\x1e/usr/local/bin\x1e/Users/ronny/bin
I think it's either fish somehow is not honouring that, or something
else is overwriting it.
Cheers,

Hi guys,
I couldn't get PATH to set properly. I'm running Mac OS X 10.6.3.
ro...@iron ~> fish --version
fish, version 1.23.1
ro...@iron ~> echo $PATH
/usr/bin /bin /usr/sbin /sbin /usr/local/Cellar/fish/1.23.1/bin
/usr/X11R6/bin /usr/local/bin
ro...@iron ~> set -Ux PATH /opt/subversion/bin /opt/postgresql/bin
/bin /usr/bin /usr/sbin /sbin /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/bin
/Users/ronny/bin
ro...@iron ~> echo $PATH
/usr/bin /bin /usr/sbin /sbin /usr/local/Cellar/fish/1.23.1/bin
/usr/X11R6/bin /usr/local/bin
The shell above is a login shell, ran from iTerm. I tried it with a
non-login shell (by running 'fish'), still no luck.
I was able, however, to set it globally instead of universally:
ro...@iron ~> set -gx PATH /opt/subversion/bin /opt/postgresql/bin
/bin /usr/bin /usr/sbin /sbin /usr/local/Cellar/fish/1.23.1/bin
/usr/local/sbin /usr/local/bin /Users/ronny/bin
ro...@iron ~> echo $PATH
/opt/subversion/bin /opt/postgresql/bin /bin /usr/bin /usr/sbin /sbin
/usr/local/Cellar/fish/1.23.1/bin /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/bin
/Users/ronny/bin
But, of course, it wouldn't be saved across fish sessions. The next
time I open iTerm or a new tab, the PATH setting's back to the
original one.
What am I missing here?
Thanks in advance for any pointers.
Ronny
