Installer emits a warning when installing on Bluefin, and doesn't configure shell hooks about nix-installer

I'm running into this problem also. I was previously testing devbox out using nix-installer from this repo and it was working great. But I don't think I want to keep using a wrapper tool, so i removed all that and restarted with just the nix-installer.

I receive the error from this issue exactly as stated by @pauldoo .

I don't know why it's trying to invoke fish. I leave bash as my login shell for POSIX reasons, and inherit that environment by launching exec fish ... later.

source /nix/var/nix/profiles/default/etc/profile.d/nix-daemon.fish fixes it, but i thought . /nix/var/nix/profiles/default/etc/profile.d/nix-daemon.sh was meant to be included in my bash startup by the installer. This would inherit just fine for me in fish (or I could just keep using bash, same difference) and I actually prefer it personally.

For now, I've added this to my .bashrc:

. /nix/var/nix/profiles/default/etc/profile.d/nix-daemon.sh
if [[ $(ps --no-header --pid=$PPID --format=comm) != "fish" && -z ${BASH_EXECUTION_STRING} ]]
then
  shopt -q login_shell && LOGIN_OPTION='--login' || LOGIN_OPTION=""
  exec fish $LOGIN_OPTION
fi

I'm using home-manager to do this, but I snipped the absolute paths to the executables here.

However, the solution feels wrong, mostly because I did not need to do this yesterday.
