Configuring SHELL with /usr/bin/pwsh makes ranger fail on shell spawn (:shell $SHELL)

[sim590]

Runtime Environment

• Operating system and version: Archlinux
• Terminal emulator and version: alacritty 0.11.0 (8dbaa0bb)
• Python version: Python 3.10.9

• Ranger version/commit:

  ranger version: ranger-master v1.9.3-548-gf8b304f7 Python version: 3.10.9 (main, Dec 19 2022, 17:35:49) [GCC 12.2.0]

• Locale: fr_CA.UTF-8

Current Behavior

Execute ranger like so:

SHELL=/usr/bin/pwsh ranger

then run :shell $SHELL and the powershell is not spawned and the user is put back into the ranger interface.

Other shell operations won't work also like executing Fzf.

Running with --debug didn't give any information on stdout.

Expected Behavior

The shell should spawn like it does with Zsh, Bash and others.

Context

See "Current Behavior".

Possible Solutions

I don't know.

Steps to reproduce

See "Current Behavior".

Traceback

It doesn't crash.

Weirdly, doing :shell pwsh does work ???

However, Fzf still fails since it must use the value of $SHELL in some way.

I don't see why :shell pwsh should work, but :shell $SHELL would fail. Plus, the Fzf case also which is connected in some manner.

I have no idea why this wouldn't work. Have you figured anything else out in the meantime?

Does it work if you don't pass the entire path like so: SHELL=pwsh ranger?

[sim590]

I have tried to only pass SHELL=pwsh ranger and it didn't change anything. It still terminates abruptly.
