shell_command config option for terminado not picked up

[quaxquax]

When trying to set the shell for the terminado terminal I came across this documentation that mentions the _shellcommand option, which is supposed to be a python dictionary.

The shape of the dictionary is not specified, but from this code I gleamed that the following line may, work, but it apparently does not get picked up.

c.NotebookApp.terminado_settings={'shell_command': ['bash']}

Any pointers as how to use that option?

Many thanks in advance!

I failed to mention, I am using the Jupyter version included in the latest Anaconda distribution, i.e. Python 3.6 with the package jupyter_core-4.2.1-py36_0

>>$ jupyter --version
4.2.1

[gnestor]

That looks right to me...

@minrk @Carreau Any ideas?

[minrk]

What's conda list? I used that config and it does indeed change the shell. Where are you setting the configuration?

[quaxquax]

Here's my conda -list output. Thanks for taking a look at this.

Aha! Passing these settings to terminado is new in notebook 5.0, which should be released very soon. That's why it's not getting picked up.

[quaxquax]

Thanks for clearing this up! Looking forward to 5.0 :-)

Hi @minrk , I'm currently running python 3.6.4 and jupyter notebook 5.6.0 and unable to get jupyter notebook to change from powershell to bash. I've followed the same steps as @quaxquax has the following been implemented yet?

[lchutny]

@minrk same as @GISTech01 - I'm using python 3.7.0, jupyter 5.6.0 and I can't get the notebook to recognize bash , it still wants to use powershell.

[Monduiz]

Same here, I added c.NotebookApp.terminado_settings={'shell_command': ['bash']} to the jupyter_notebook_config.py file and when I launch terminal from a jupyter session, terminal is not launched in bash with my variables.

[RaghavendraSingh]

Did anyone find a solution for this? I am still facing this issue in 5.6.0

[kevin-bates]

Not sure if this will be helpful but for releases prior to 6.x no "sourcing" of various profiles or rc scripts takes place. In 6.0+, and on non-Windows systems, the specified shell is invoked as a login shell (-l is added to its invocation) and you should find the corresponding 'login' resources (e.g., .bash_profile for bash) have been sourced.

However, in either set of versions (>= 5.0), you should find that the shell specified in shell_command has been invoked.
