$0 no longer resolves to the hovered file

[kyletruong]

After adding this plugin, the $0 shell variable no longer resolves to the hovered file. It resolves to zsh in my case, which is my custom shell.

Can you share what exactly you are giving into the input? I have been meaning to look into this, just didnt do it yet

[kyletruong]

@AnirudhG07 Yes, for example when I run nvim $0 it opens a new file called zsh instead of opening the currently hovered file.

I see. fine ill work on fixing this issue. If you would like to contribute, you are very welcome to(do inform me, if you are doing it)! It would take a week-ish, since i am bit busy these days. i hope its fine with you

How is the progress? I am also encountering this issue now, unable to parse $@ after using this plugin.

reproduce

• select 2 files and use the default yazi block shell :

echo $@

it will echo the path of two files.

• select 2 files and use custom-shell.yazi, aka plugin custom-shell --args=auto

  echo $@

  it echo nothing

---

I think the problem lies in sh -c 'zsh -ic "echo $@; exit"', where $@ is not being interpreted correctly.

It may relate to https://github.com/sxyazi/yazi/issues/1524

I don't know how to handle it.

[AnirudhG07]

Yes. zsh or any shell does not interpret $0 as yazi does. I will work on it. I'll have to look into how to get it to work. Give me some more time

local selected_or_hovered = ya.sync(function()
    local tab, paths = cx.active, {}
    for _, u in pairs(tab.selected) do
        paths[#paths + 1] = tostring(u)
    end
    if #paths == 0 and tab.current.hovered then
        paths[1] = tostring(tab.current.hovered.url)
    end
    return paths
end)

return {
  entry = function()
    ya.manager_emit("escape", { visual = true })
    local urls = selected_or_hovered()
    local paths = table.concat(urls, " ")

    local value, event = ya.input {
      title = "Zsh shell:",
      position = { "top-center", y = 3, w = 40 },
    }
    if event == 1 then
      if value:match("%s$@$") then
        value = value:gsub("%s$@$", " " .. paths)
      end
      ya.notify({
        title = "exec",
        content = "zsh -ic " .. ya.quote(value .. "; exit", true),
        -- content = table.concat(urls, " "),
        timeout = 8,
      })

      ya.manager_emit("shell", {
        "zsh -ic " .. ya.quote(value .. "; exit", true),
        block = true,
        confirm = true,
      })
    end
  end,
}

Take a look at this. It might be a bit clumsy, but it works. Forcibly replace $@ with selected_or_hovered. Perhaps this is unacceptable for this repo.

[AnirudhG07]

I was also thinking in similar direction, but this has to carefully applied so that it works properly with pre-added configs. Thanks for the snippet though, might come in handy.

[sxyazi]

I think you can just string.format('zsh -ic %s "$0" "$@"', ya.quote(value .. '; exit', true))
