Bug description
I'm getting
Unable to open universal variable file '/': Permission denied
or ls not found when using Terminal on VSCode.
Steps to reproduce
- Use https://github.com/dalisoft/dotfiles as dotfiles (used scripts from gitpod dotfiles template)
- See error
Workspace affected
dalisoft-commitlintrs-hn9vwietu8j
Expected behavior
Dotfiles loading (my configs)
Example repository
https://github.com/nanoexpress/ultimate-oss
Anything else?
Maybe it's related to fish shell?
It's probably happening because you change the default shell with chsh to fish.
@axonasif Yeah, maybe as it's mentioned in Anything else but it should work, isn't it?
fish isn't a posix compliant shell, so this is expected. Do you need fish shell for every new terminal you create on Gitpod VSCode Web? In that case you may set it as the default shell profile on vscode, see https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/terminal/profiles
I have a personal project that also attempts to solve this, you might find it interesting: https://github.com/axonasif/dotsh#optimized-for-custom-shells
