Amazon-Q Integration Causes Initialization Failure in WaveTerminal

[dmmeteo]

Describe the bug When launching WaveTerminal, there is a shell initialization error suggesting a conflict with the Amazon-Q shell scripts. The error occurs when the scripts zprofile.pre.zsh from the Amazon-Q integration are sourced during shell initialization, preventing WaveTerminal from starting properly. The error message displayed is: “error reinitializing remote: error initializing shell: invalid zsh shell state output, could not parse separator bytes.”

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1.  Install WaveTerminal version 0.7.6 on Sonoma 14.5.
2.  Install Amazon-Q version 1.3.0 and configure its initialization scripts included in .zprofile and .zshrc.
3.  Open WaveTerminal.
4.  The aforementioned error appears, indicating a failure in shell initialization.

Expected behavior WaveTerminal should initialize without any errors, regardless of the shell scripts from other applications like Amazon-Q.

Screenshots If applicable, add screenshots to help explain the problem.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

•   OS: Sonoma 14.5
•   Version: WaveTerminal 0.7.6

Additional context The conflict arises from shell initialization scripts for Amazon-Q (version 1.3.0) that interfere with the shell environment expected by WaveTerminal. Temporarily resolving this issue involves commenting out the lines in .zprofile and .zshrc that source the Amazon-Q scripts. This indicates that these scripts alter the shell environment in a way that WaveTerminal cannot accommodate. A more permanent solution could be modifying the initialization order of these scripts, or WaveTerminal could potentially be updated to handle third-party shell configurations more robustly. By addressing the initialization sequence or managing environment isolation, WaveTerminal could avoid such conflicts and enhance compatibility with various shell enhancements.

I'm facing this issue as well. Apparently, I had to uninstall amazon-q to make it work.

I have the identical issue, also on Sonoma with latest WaveTerminal.

Commenting out the Amazon-Q pre/post script commands in bash/zsh dotfiles (also previous CodeWhisperer versions) did not help, but deleting Amazon-Q app does solve the problem.
