BashRC about pathpicker

[pcottle]

We do load up the bashrc and check for aliases:

https://github.com/facebook/PathPicker/blob/master/src/output.py#L109

Is something else not working? What format are you aliases in?

(closing for now, open up again if you have a solid repro)

I can repro this. I have source $HOME/.bash_aliases in my .bashrc and in .bash_aliases I have alias g="git "

Go to a git repository, and enter:
touch foo.txt
ls -l ./foo.txt | fpp
then press c and enter g add

I get the error: /home/sgoder/.fbPager.sh: line 4: g: command not found

yeah unfortunately we don't do recursive follows / sources :*( do either of you know if we could get bash to either:

• give us the expanded format of a given alias
  or even
• give us the entire concat of the bashrc file
  ?

let me try this inside the command script instead...

@pcottle Can't you just use alias ?

[pcottle]

@shaneharter alias does not work inside shell scripts:

[pcottle:~/Desktop:]$ alias | wc -l
      54
[pcottle:~/Desktop:]$ echo "alias; echo 'alias is'; alias | wc -l" > ./test.sh 
[pcottle:~/Desktop:]$ sh ./test.sh
alias is
       0

unless you run with some weird mode, but that doesnt work for zsh

[shaneharter]

@pcottle Yeah i saw that after, sorry for the distraction :) Been using fpp for a few days now, 👍

Is there a way to prevent it from sourcing my .zshrc? My .zshrc prints something every time it is executed and that can get annoying if I'm not starting up a new shell.

[pcottle]

I somewhat have this issue as well, but I have a global flag to toggle it off. Basically I automatically ssh to my devserver at facebook unless I set a "local mode" flag

What does yours do? We could add (yet another) environment variable for this but I'm curious what the use case is.

Oh yeah that's smart, thanks. Haha I just have this line in my .zshrc: fortune | cowsay | lolcat So I get a random fortune every time I start a new shell.

[pcottle]

Haha, maybe I should do something similar. Terminal startups should be more fun!
