Motivation for this change
The current ranger derivation does not support the
source ranger
trick to easily use ranger as acd
replacement for the bash shell.It might be confusing for people using nix that this behaviour is not supported when it is mentioned in the ranger manual, so this commit adds support for it.
Things done
Changed the wrapper to check if the script is being sourced from bash, and automatically uses the
--choosedir
flag to write the path to a temporary file (much as the original ranger file does).I would have preferred to actually use the code from the
.ranger-wrapped
file that ranger ships with, but it seems rather involved because of the shebangs and mixed python code.sandbox
