[kitty 0.24.3-0.25.2] ble.sh: unrecognized argument '/Users/mark/.bash_profile'

[msr8]

ble version: 0.4.0-devel3+a22e145 Bash version: 5.1.16(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin21.1.0)

So whenever I start a new shell, it shows me this:

These are the contents of /Users/mark/.bash_profile:

source .bashrc
export BASH_SILENCE_DEPRECATION_WARNING=1

These are the contents of my .bashrc:

Edit: Just noticed that this happens only when I open a new shell using Kitty, and not via any other terminal

Edit 2: If I do source .bashrc after starting the shell, it works

[akinomyoga]

Thank you for the report and sorry for the late reply. This generally happens when .bash_profile / .bashrc is sourced from another place in a context there are positional parameters (i.e., $1, $2, etc.). Kitty does something non-trivial in its startup to inject shell-integration codes (cf Shell integration - kitty). In fact, kitty disables .bash_profile of Bash and instead sources .bash_profile from its integration code.

However, as far as I see kitty's shell-integration code in the above link, I currently don't have an idea how the reported error arises. I tried to reproduce the problem in my environment, but it doesn't seem to reproduce. I tried kitty 0.25.2 (the latest release) in Fedora 35 with the following setting:

# ~/.bash_profile
source .bashrc

# ~/.bashrc
eval "$(zoxide init bash)"
source ~/.local/share/blesh/ble.sh

• Which version of kitty do you use? Maybe you can just update kitty to see if the problem is resolved.
• If the problem still arises in the latest version of kitty, could you follow ble.sh's README §1.3?
• Another solution is to manually set up the kitty's shell integration as described in kitty's page.

[msr8]

Hey there! Please don't be sorry. Blesh is now working after doing the 3rd (manually setting up kitty's shell integration) solution. The others didn't work for me. I am using the latest kitty version too, as shown below. And I used to use ble.sh on this device (macbook air 2017) (tho it was running macOS Catlina, while this machine is running Monterey) for a few months, but I factory resetted it a few days ago and was trying to install blesh on it. I am afraid I dont remember how I used to call my .bashrc or initialise blesh in that. But if you will give me a few minutes, I will look into my backups and check

Edit: I am afraid I didn't backup the .bash_profile or .bashrc before resetting the device. I just uploaded a modified version (which didn't contain the lines to initialise blesh) to git as a "backup" before deleting everything

Edit 2: Perhaps it could just be an issue on MacOS Monterey version 12.5?

[akinomyoga]

Thank you for the detailed information!

The others didn't work for me.

Do you remember if the error message was the same for the second one (with the setup described in README §1.3)? Considering the fact that it is actually solved by manually setting up kitty's shell integration, I think the second solution should also solve the problem, yet there might be another separate issue. More specifically, if you specify an option --noattach (or --attach=none, --attach=prompt, etc.) to source /path/to/ble.sh --noattach, the positional parameters would be supposed to be overridden so that the argument of the outer scope (i.e., /Users/mark/.bash_profile in the present case) would not be passed to ble.sh.

I am using the latest kitty version too, as shown below. And I used to use ble.sh on this device (macbook air 2017) (tho it was running macOS Catlina, while this machine is running Monterey) for a few months, but I factory resetted it a few days ago and was trying to install blesh on it.

A possible reason of the behavior change might be because you had been using an older version of kitty before you factory-reset it. Actually, the current form of kitty's shell integration is introduced only recently in kitty v0.24.0 (2022-01-04).

Edit 2: Perhaps it could just be an issue on MacOS Monterey version 12.5?

Hmm, currently I don't have an idea, but this type of issue wouldn't typically be operating-system-specific in my naive thinking. I'd appreciate it if you could see what messages would be shown on the kitty startup with the automatic shell integration (without the manual setup of the shell integration) with the following additional settings in ~/.bash_profile. You can remove these settings after you checked the message.

# test code in ~/.bash_profile
{
  declare -p BASH_SOURCE FUNCNAME
  printf '<%s>\n' "$@"
  type source
} >&2

It works AS LONG AS the line shell_integration disabled is added in kitty.conf. Wait lemme show you in more detail

# shell_integration disabled

Here as you can see, the error only arrises when the line shell_integration disabled is commented out in kitty.conf, and its the same error. If the output is too messy, I can edit my comment to make it more readable, just lmk :)

I'd appreciate it if you could see what messages would be shown on the kitty startup

So adding those in with the config files the same as shown under where the issue does arrise, but .bash_profile changed to

{
  declare -p BASH_SOURCE FUNCNAME
  printf '<%s>\n' "$@"
  type source
} >&2

source ~/.bashrc

export BASH_SILENCE_DEPRECATION_WARNING=1

#if test -n "$KITTY_INSTALLATION_DIR"; then
#    export KITTY_SHELL_INTEGRATION="enabled"
#    source "$KITTY_INSTALLATION_DIR/shell-integration/bash/kitty.bash"
#fi

This is the output:

declare -a BASH_SOURCE=([0]="/Users/mark/.bash_profile" [1]="/Applications/kitty.app/Contents/Resources/kitty/shell-integration/bash/kitty.bash" [2]="/Applications/kitty.app/Contents/Resources/kitty/shell-integration/bash/kitty.bash" [3]="/Applications/kitty.app/Contents/Resources/kitty/shell-integration/bash/kitty.bash")

It works AS LONG AS the line shell_integration disabled is added in kitty.conf.

I meant by automatic shell integration the case without the line shell_integration disable in kitty.conf.

Wait lemme show you in more detail

Ah, OK. You are sourcing ble.sh twice (with and without --noattach). The error message is shown for the second source of ble.sh without --noattach in your ~/.bashrc. The setup in README §1.3 is meant to replace the simple source ble.sh. When you have the setup as README §1.3, the original simple source /path/to/ble.sh should be removed.

This is the output:

declare -a BASH_SOURCE=([0]="/Users/mark/.bash_profile" [1]="/Applications/kitty.app/Contents/Resources/kitty/shell-integration/bash/kitty.bash" [2]="/Applications/kitty.app/Contents/Resources/kitty/shell-integration/bash/kitty.bash" [3]="/Applications/kitty.app/Contents/Resources/kitty/shell-integration/bash/kitty.bash")

Thank you! OK, so .bash_profile seems to be called through helper functions _ksi_inject and _ksi_safe_source, which I don't find in the latest version of kitty.bash. It seems to have been removed in commit https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/commit/d6492264c7541d41afcf2958142475ca1c7f7d3d after the report https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/issues/5254 on 8th Jul. This means that the problem will be anyway fixed in the next release of kitty, though I'm still not sure why the problem doesn't arise in my environment with kitty 0.25.2. FWIW, the problematic code seems to have been introduced in commit https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/commit/88091b4ab3cb8016dc80dda4c0327e857a9fdcdc and included in kitty 0.24.3+.

Oh yeah, I didn't notice, sorry about that

This means that the problem will be anyway fixed in the next release of kitty

Nice, what workaround do you recommend I use in the meantime though?

[akinomyoga]

I recommend the setup in README §1.3, which is more robust against other types of conflicts with other Bash configurations.

[akinomyoga]

kitty v0.26.0 seems to have been released.

[msr8]

Yupp, it works flawlessly with that, thank you!

[akinomyoga]

Thank you!
