fish-shell compatibility

[douglascamata]

fish-shell uses, like me, are very forgotten when it comes to libraries that needs to be loaded into the shell. It would be nice to see some integration here.

This was added in #33. Is there a problem with fish support?

[douglascamata]

I didn't see any documentation about this. The "tested shells" section in the README didn't mention fish-shell and there are no setup instructions for fish-shell specifically... so I assumed there's no support. Maybe documentation about it should be added?

@douglascamata pull request welcome :)

I'll see what I can do 👍

using

test -s "$HOME/.kiex/scripts/kiex" && source "$HOME/.kiex/scripts/kiex"

i got

Unsupported use of '&&'. In fish, please use 'COMMAND; and COMMAND'.
fish: test -s "$HOME/.kiex/scripts/kiex" && source "$HOME/.kiex/scripts/kiex"

then changing to

test -s "$HOME/.kiex/scripts/kiex.fish" and; source "$HOME/.kiex/scripts/kiex.fish"

i got

Unsupported use of '&&'. In fish, please use 'COMMAND; and COMMAND'.
~/.kiex/scripts/kiex (line 3):   && source $HOME/.kiex/scripts/kiex.csh \
                                  ^
from sourcing file ~/.kiex/scripts/kiex
called on standard input

i was able to get fish working by skipping scripts/kiex and pointing to scripts/kiex.fish directly

test -s "$HOME/.kiex/scripts/kiex.fish" and; source "$HOME/.kiex/scripts/kiex.fish"

everything but sub-shell worked for me after that

thanks for kiex!

THX!

The instructions shown during install will have to be updated for fish -- https://github.com/taylor/kiex/blob/master/kiex#L379. It is already done for some parts of the program such as https://github.com/taylor/kiex/blob/master/kiex#L379

I'll get fish setup in my test environment.

kiex use also doesn't work because kiex generates a bash compliant env file.

For my elixir version, I manually changed it to this:

$ cat elixir-1.3.4.env 
set -xg ELIXIR_VERSION 1.3.4
set -xg PATH $HOME/.kiex/elixirs/elixir-1.3.4/bin $PATH
set -xg MIX_ARCHIVES $HOME/.kiex/mix/archives/elixir-1.3.4

Any updates on this?

@jfis, I have an error in kiex.fish (at least for current fish version)
I am corrected it for a little bit:
test -s "$HOME/.kiex/scripts/kiex.fish"; and source "$HOME/.kiex/scripts/kiex.fish"
Now everything is works.
Just add above string to the ~/.config/fish/config.fish file
Enjoy!

maybe issue must be closed now?
