Unrecognized shell error on Mac

[gudstra]

I see this error a lot. One way to replicate the issue is to simplt open the settings in Obsidian. Things still seem to work but it is very annoying.

Error:
EscapeValue(): Unrecognised shell: sh

The main problem here is that the Shell commands plugin cannot recognise what kind of special characters escaping method to use when the shell is sh. sh is a short name that can be used by many different shells. What is your default shell in macOS?

On macOS and Linux, the plugin supports bash, dash, and zsh. If you have one of those installed, the issue is that SC does not recorgnise it, because it sees just sh. Assuming you have one of those shells installed, you can change the default shell option in SC's settings to solve this issue. Select something else than Use system default.

In settings, this error message probably comes up when shell command preview texts are being displayed. It might cause some things not to work correctly in the settings, as it stops JavaScript code interpreting (maybe I should improve this behavior). When you actually try to execute shell commands, this error will prevent the execution, at least for shell commands that use {{variables}}.
