Terminal Launch with ZSH #179

Closed eleonorsomosot closed 7 years ago

eleonorsomosot commented 7 years ago

I have recently configured my gnome-terminal to use zsh. However, whenever I open terminal through key binding or "Open Terminal Here.." option it does not open from the selected directory it was launched from. This happened after I installed zsh.

How did you configure gnome-terminal to use zsh?

eleonorsomosot commented 7 years ago

I followed this article https://ubuntuusertips.wordpress.com/2012/09/12/the-command-line-bash-or-zsh/

Hm, that looks like everything should work properly. We use declaring the cwd as a parameter to change where our terminal launches:

What happens when you run gnome-terminal in a folder like /etc in an existing terminal instance?

eleonorsomosot commented 7 years ago

it launches new terminal window on default directory.

It sounds like an issue in either gnome-terminal or zsh. Since you said bash was working previously, I'm guessing a zsh plugin or your .zshrc is set up to navigate back to the home directory. My suggestion is to binary search to see what's causing it, i.e.:

Try disabling all plugins and all lines in .zshrc
Verify that gnome-terminal in /etc opens a new window in /etc
- If this doesn't work, try resetting the shell to bash via chsh -s /bin/bash + logout + login
Enable plugins (not lines in .zshrc)
If verify that gnome-terminal in /etc no longer opens a new window then we know it's a plugin so disable half of those and keep on searching
Otherwise, it's a line in .zshrc so enable half of those and keep on searching

I'm going to close this issue as it's unrelated to Terminal but feel free to ask more questions

Thanks a lot. Will definitely try your instructions and get back to you whenever.

eleonorsomosot commented 7 years ago

It seems that I have checked the "Run command as a login shell" and "Run a custom command instead of my shell" options. Unchecking those solved my issue. Thanks once again for the assistance @twolfson.

Ah, I didn't see those options in my gnome-terminal. Glad to hear you got it working =)
