User's shell not respected, pwd on start is /opt/cool-old-term

[terminalmage]

Installed git HEAD via the AUR PKGBUILD.

It seems like the terminal can't be started by executing the path to cool-old-term, unless you are in the directory in which it resides. This seems to have something to do with how it is launched (via qmlscene).

Also, my shell is not respected, it uses bash no matter what. This is probably due to the fact that /usr/bin/cool-old-term is simply a bash script that changes to /opt/cool-old-term and runs ./cool-old-term

[erik@saltmine cool-old-term]$ ps aux | grep bash
erik     32606  0.0  0.0  13584  3208 ?        Ss   09:26   0:00 /bin/bash /usr/bin/cool-old-term
erik     32607  0.0  0.0  13584  3052 ?        S    09:26   0:00 /bin/bash ./cool-old-term

Nope, I changed both /opt/bin/cool-old-term and /usr/bin/cool-old-term so that they used zsh in the shebang line, and it still uses bash.

Thank you. Those are definitely problems with my dummy launch script. I will look into it...

[terminalmage]

No prob!

[Swordfish90]

Ok it looks /bin/bash is hard coded when the plugin is launched... I will fix that soon...

[NicolasCARPi]

Yes, zsh user here. +1 :D

I just pushed a new branch which should fix those two issues. Please try that and let me know, so I can close the issue and merge the branch into master. https://github.com/Swordifish90/cool-old-term/tree/shellssupport
