I've had more time to look around. If you add the following to the file
~/.config/fish/config.fish (create it if you haven't already got one),
then things should work as intended:
if status --is-login
set PATH /usr/local/bin /usr/bin $PATH
end
Alternatively drop it in the fish global startup file,
/usr/share/fish/config.fish.
I tried the variant of putting it into the global startup file, it
doesn't resolve the problem for me. I'll play around a bit with it as
soon as I have time (I'm a first-time user of fish and am busy with
other things right now, so this might take some time).
You're right, when using the default -2. If you switch to -1, things get
better, but then the chere functionality of cd'ing to a directory fails.
Fun.
-2 mode fails because fish recognizes a login shell by $0 being exactly
"-fish", but chere is using "-/bin/fish". There's a trivial patch* to
fish.cpp which could make this work better for us.
-1 mode fails because fish would prefer cygpath was run on the argument
first. I'm not sure why this works in bash.
I'll try put together a fix for the latter issue, but it may be a while
before I can upload*.
Konrad, are you able to chase the former issue? NB Konrad's email
provider is out of action.
Ronald, your choices as the moment:
- Add cygwin\bin to your windows path
- Use the above snippet without the check for a login shell, and method
-2. If you don't start too many subshells you're probably OK. If you do
need subshells, you could change the check to test if /bin is already in
the path.
