Error when activating devbox global from Fish

Open PascalLeMerrer opened this issue 11 months ago • 10 comments

What happened?

I would like to use devbox as my primary package manager. I'm using Fish as a shell. I added this line

devbox global shellenv --init-hook | source

to .config/fish/config.fish

It results in an error:

- (line 43): Missing end to balance this if statement
if ! type refresh-global >/dev/null 2>&1; then
^^
from sourcing file -
source: Error while reading file '<stdin>'

Steps to reproduce

  1. Add this line

devbox global shellenv --init-hook | source

to .config/fish/config.fish 2. Open a new tab

Running directly devbox global shellenv --init-hook | source in a Fish tab has the same effect.

Command

No response

I installed Fish using devbox and I'm trying to start devbox from Fish. Is that possible?

PascalLeMerrer avatar Jan 15 '25 07:01 PascalLeMerrer

This does not solve the problem on my computer

My guess is that there is some kind of auto discovery for the init shell script and it fails to discover that your shell is a fish shell and therefore outputs the init hook for bash.

You could maybe somehow force that Devbox will discover the shell as fish.

Thanks for this @weitzj. Your comment led me to resolve the issue by using Wezterm's set_environment_variables like so:

config.set_environment_variables = {
    SHELL = "/Users/<username>/.local/share/devbox/global/default/.devbox/nix/profile/default/bin/fish"
}

By the way, @PascalLeMerrer I believe I found an answer to your question in working to resolve the global shellenv issue. In my Wezterm config, I've set default_prog to:

config.default_prog = { '/Users/<username>/.local/share/devbox/global/default/.devbox/nix/profile/default/bin/fish', '-l' }

I hope this helps!

For my case I had to change my shell by adding Fish Shell as a valid Shell on MacOS in /etc/Shells and then using „chsh“ with my username

Also I use ghostty on OSX

I considered making these same changes but noticed that changing the login shell can cause issues per the Fish documentation.

jrdelarosa8 avatar Feb 13 '25 14:02 jrdelarosa8

I had the same issue with devbox 0.14.2 on macos 15.4.1

/etc/shells

# List of acceptable shells for chpass(1).
# Ftpd will not allow users to connect who are not using
# one of these shells.

/bin/bash
/bin/csh
/bin/dash
/bin/ksh
/bin/sh
/bin/tcsh
/bin/zsh
/opt/homebrew/bin/fish

Even if you add the Shell as a valid Shell, it has to be Started fairly early. So probably what happens on your machine is that you start a zsh, which starts a fish shell and therefore the auto discovery of devbox will think it is zsh

weitzj avatar May 20 '25 16:05 weitzj

Uses basename $SHELL or similiar. As mentioned in https://github.com/jetify-com/devbox/issues/2480#issuecomment-2656819073, using fish as the user shell is discouraged.

Update:

I remove the command=fish from ghostty and added the following to $HOME/.bashrc, from the Arch Linux Wiki:

if [[ $(ps --no-header --pid=$PPID --format=comm) != "fish" && -z ${BASH_EXECUTION_STRING} && ${SHLVL} == 1 ]]
then
	shopt -q login_shell && LOGIN_OPTION='--login' || LOGIN_OPTION=''
	exec fish $LOGIN_OPTION
fi

My config.fish contains:

set -gx SHELL fish
devbox global shellenv --init-hook | source

This, so far, is working including refresh-global

mattwillsher avatar May 25 '25 18:05 mattwillsher

My config.fish contains:

set -gx SHELL fish devbox global shellenv --init-hook | source

Adding these two lines to my config.fish file seemed to help Devbox global work for me as well. Thanks!
