Description
Bash loads initialization files on Mac just the same as it does on Linux or WSL. Our previous assumptions were wrong, and my fix was als枚 wrong because I made more assumptions!
This patch eliminates the assumptions. Literally just load either the startup file the shell started with, or fall back to
~/.bashrc
. Don't checkshopt -q login_shell
and don't check$OSTYPE
or anything else.Motivation and Context
I broke @NoahGorny's WSL shell. WSL runs shells as login shells, just like on Mac. But, since it loads an entire Linux distribution under the hood, WSL includes workarounds for Bash's weird startup file behaviours and, therefore, my assumption that the startup file for a login must always be
~/.bash_profile
(or~/.profile
) was quickly proven wrong. 馃槥How Has This Been Tested?
