incompatible with shells started via 'exec shell' in ~/.bashrc #49

Closed vede1 closed 7 years ago

vede1 commented 7 years ago

If a shell is started at the end of ~/.bashrc (e.g., exec fish), then it causes spacemacs to start with an error:

Error (use-package): exec-path-from-shell :init: Expected printf output from shell, but got: "bash: cannot set terminal process group (-1): Inappropriate ioctl for device
bash: no job control in this shell

Yep, that's always going to cause problems. If you want the fish startup files to take effect (e.g. to set environment variables) then change your shell to fish. Otherwise, if you're correctly using .bash_profile or similar to set your environment variables, remove "-i" from exec-path-from-shell-arguments so that the .bashrc is not executed: this is recommended anyway.
