[Bug]: The desktop launcher doesn't work with fish

[soderluk]

I'm using fish shell, and copying the desktop launcher file from the assets to .local/share/applications as is doesn't work. It launches a new terminal, but spits out quite a bit of errors:

Changing the Exec to Exec=env YAZELIX_ENV_ONLY="true" /usr/bin/foot -e nu ~/.config/yazelix/nushell/scripts/core/start_yazelix.nu works though.

humm, interesting, I'll investigate

thanks for the report

[luccahuguet]

@luccahuguet Tested this fix, but it won't start. Running it in the terminal, I get:

Error: nu::shell::column_not_found

@soderluk are you running nu /home/soderluk/.config/yazelix/nushell/scripts/core/desktop_launcher.nu?

the more details you give me, the easier it will be for me to reproduce the bug

tip: purge every zellij session, every yazelix session, restart your machine

i tested sh -c 'exec "$HOME/.config/yazelix/shells/posix/desktop_launcher.sh"' in a non-yazelix terminal and it worked well

[soderluk]

I copied the asset file as is to .local/share/applications, and when starting it with fuzzel, nothing happens. That's why I ran it in the terminal, just to see what it says, and that above error was what came out of it.

Running the same command as in the desktop-file, i.e. sh -c 'exec "$HOME/.config/yazelix/shells/posix/desktop_launcher.sh"' in foot (fish shell) gives me the error.

Here's the actual desktop file:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.4
Type=Application
Name=Yazelix
Comment=Yazi + Zellij + Helix integrated terminal environment
Icon=yazelix
StartupWMClass=com.yazelix.Yazelix
Exec=sh -c 'exec "$HOME/.config/yazelix/shells/posix/desktop_launcher.sh"'
Categories=Development;

Deleted all zellij sessions, and still can't run yazelix from launcher.

[luccahuguet]

Thanks.

I'll try to uncover the issue

You've given me useful context

[luccahuguet]

@soderluk if you could pull and try again.. I believe it will work this time

[soderluk]

OK, now it at least starts up, when using fuzzel, but still the ugly bash: bind: command not found output in the terminal.

The current desktop-file looks like this (just pulled, and copied to .local/applications):
