You may try to change default shell to bash, and after connect to WSL run zsh

[bilalbayasut]

@MAXZVER would you mind to explain how to do that ? do I need to change towards wave or towards wsl ? nvm, got it working, at least a workaround , thanks!

[esimkowitz]

@bilalbayasut does your WSL distro have Zsh installed? Can you tell me what you get if you run echo $SHELL from inside your distro?

[bilalbayasut]

@esimkowitz Yes I have zsh installed in my wsl

[esimkowitz]

Is there anything unique or noteworthy about the way you set up your system?

Samething happened for me, using 0.9.2 (202411120442) on Windows 11.
@MAXZVER 's workaround also worked for me.

For me, I installed Ubuntu on WSL for like 2 weeks ago, and it should be really fresh if ignore about installed zsh and zinit, docker.

Hi @rikusen0335 @bilalbayasut is this still an issue for you on v0.10?

[bilalbayasut]

Hey, Thanks for asking. I use bash not zsh, but looks like the error is still there

[zensimilia]

Same error. Windows 10. WSL Arch. ZSH.

zsh:1: command not found: --

process finished with exit code = 127

[esimkowitz]

I think we have a lead here, will keep you posted

[esimkowitz]

Could any of you reproduce this and send your log file to support@waveterm.dev? You can find your log file at %LOCALAPPDATA%/waveterm/Data/waveapp.log
