Unable to execute certain commands #228

Closed luisvgs closed 4 years ago

luisvgs commented 4 years ago

Hi! I'm loving the terminal so far, I've been working for a few days with it and and I found it smoother than other terminals. However, whenever I try to run commands such as "cargo new helloworld", the terminal is complaining about that the command "cargo" was not found, in other hand, if I run the standard WSL the commands works perfectly. The same issue happens with other commands that the standard WSL is able to recognize. Am I missing any additional configuration? I would deeply appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

Sorry for closing and opening again. I was able to solve this issue by executing the configure "WSL shortcuts" script.

This happens because wsltty (really wslbridge) does not open shell with login mode by default but wsl.exe does. Also the cargo path is appended in .bash_profile or .profile which is read by bash when executed as login shell bash(1). The shortcuts has that login option -l to open shell with login mode.
