.z file not getting created #324

Open JoeIngle opened 1 year ago

JoeIngle commented 1 year ago

The .z database file isn't getting initialised on my machine. I can't work out why not.

I've put z.sh in my $HOME/.local/bin and sourced it in .bashrc, however, nothing happens when I navigate around in the shell and no .z file gets created at the default $HOME/.z location?

Just to add to this, if I source z.sh directly from the terminal it then works, if I source it from within .bashrc it doesn't.

Not the maintainer, and not sure why, but here is how I would troubleshoot -

before your source it, run:

set -x

don't forget to add 

set +x

What this will do, is show the output of every command afterwards. I would put an echo before and after, this should help you identify where things are going arye.
