zsh support + macOS fixes

[jasonmadigan]

• Took a stab at a zsh provider
• Fixed a bug where shell's spawned, with zsh + macOS, would hang after an exit command.
• • Bit of a sledgehammer, used https://docs.rs/ctrlc/latest/ctrlc/

Before:

After:

Testing:

cargo run example.yaml example.cast --overwrite --shell zsh

[k9withabone]

Thanks for the PR! In your GIFs, I don't think you are using your new zsh shell option. The --shell option defaults to bash on all platforms.

[jasonmadigan]

@k9withabone ah, yes, I'd updated (and not checked in) example.yaml with the shell overridden in settings:. it does seem to work ($SHELL is set to /bin/zsh).

I'll test it with bash elsewhere too.

Got it, thanks for the clarification.

[jasonmadigan]

@k9withabone Have a patch for quit for macOS which seems to consistently fix. Still not 100% why, but the spawned process doesn't exit on macOS until some bytes are read from the process prior to exit.

[k9withabone]

Huh, that's interesting. I'll try setting up a container to see if that applies to zsh on Linux as well.

Just out of curiosity, how did you figure that out?

Wish it was glamorous, but it was mostly stepping through the debugger a lot to see if some error was being swallowed, I noticed if I read buffer output things worked. Bit of a strange one!

Looks like it works on Linux too! The only problem now is that seems to be echoing the command.

Here's the asciicast I got when running the example with zsh:

[k9withabone]

Doesn't look like your most recent change made a difference. Does PROMPT_COMMAND work the same for zsh as it does for bash? I can't find a reference to it in the zsh man pages.

[jasonmadigan]

@k9withabone apols, I've been away for a few weeks so not really had much time to dig into this until now. I'm seeing the same odd behaviour as you on zsh on macOS too.

[k9withabone]

It's all good. I've been busy with other things as well.
