virtualenvwrapper does not work with fish shell #100
Description
Activity
I don't see Fish ever working, TBH. I wrote this little test script in #105 to explore the best way of setting
$VIRTUALENVWRAPPER_SCRIPT:# Saved as test_arg0.sh echo "0: $0" echo "BASH_SOURCE: ${BASH_SOURCE}" echo "ZSH_ARGZERO: ${ZSH_ARGZERO}" echo "ZSH_SCRIPT: ${ZSH_SCRIPT}"
Then I tried to run it through Fish:
$ fish ferd@$HOSTNAME /tmp> source test_arg0.sh test_arg0.sh (line 2): Variables cannot be bracketed. In fish, please use "$BASH_SOURCE". echo "BASH_SOURCE: ${BASH_SOURCE}"
If Fish rejects
${VARIABLE}syntax, that's game over. It'd require a complete rewrite that'd no longer be compatible with any of the other shells.It seems the equivalent Fish syntax is
{$VARIABLE}. My eyes cannot roll any harder.I'd be inclined to close this pending an interested party providing a proof-of-concept.
+1 from me, unless some Fish user wants to port the setup script to their shell and include it as an additional implementation I think Fish support is dead in the water. It's insufficiently Bourne-compatible to be able to use the same shell scripts as the currently-supported shells.
