exa: no output at all

[RavHilton]

If exa does something unexpected, or its output looks wrong, or it displays an error on the screen, or if it outright crashes, then please include the following information in your report:

• The version of exa being used (exa --version) = 0.9.0 (RPi), 0.10.1 (Alpine)
• The command-line arguments you are using = "exa"
• Your operating system and hardware platform = RPi OS 11 (latest) and Alpine Linux 3.1.5, both without a GUI

---

What happens on both RPiOS (latest) and Alpine Linux (latest) when running "exa" is nothing at all. Well, the command returns nothing. On macOS it works exactly as expected.

This is the output on the Raspberry Pi, installed via apt:

pi@rpi3:~ $ exa --version exa v0.9.0 pi@rpi3:~ $ exa --reverse pi@rpi3:~ $ exa pi@rpi3:~ $

This is the output on Alpine Linux, installed via apk: alpine315:~# exa --version v0.10.1 [+git] https://the.exa.website/ alpine315:~# exa alpine315:~# exa --reverse alpine315:~#

I suppose there are files in the directory you run exa in? Is ls working there and what does it print? Are you using an exotic filesystem? Is there any common point between the two configuration?

Try checking the STDERR output with echo $?
