How to use chess-tui with gnuchess engine?

[craftmaster1231]

I'm trying to run chess-tui bot game with gnuchess engine.

Created script engine.sh:

#!/bin/sh
gnuchess --uci

Gave it execution permissions by chmod +x engine.sh.

Then run:
chess-tui -e /home/alex/script.sh
After selecting "Play against a bot", chess-tui just hangs.

Can you help me, please, what did I did wrong?

Good question, I managed to reproduce the bug, seems like embedding it in a sh file might be the problem but without you can't specify the --uci for gnuchess. I am labeling this as a bug and will try to investigate it, the UCI crate that I use is https://github.com/crazymerlyn/uci-rs maybe I need to make a pr on that code to add the fact to use an argument with a chess engine path.
