[abhigenie92]

set -U grcplugin_ls --color -l

causes

ls                                                                  22:54:13
ls: illegal option -- -
usage: ls [-ABCFGHLOPRSTUWabcdefghiklmnopqrstuwx1] [file ...]

A Work Around

add an alias for ls

alias ls='grc ls'

Hi @abhigenie92 , it breaks because ls in OS X is the BSD implementation. It does not have the GNU CoreUtils version of ls command which has the command line options --color. In Mac OS X you have to pass the -G options, which is the --color equivalent for BSD ls implementation.

In this case you should use:

$> set --universal grcplugin_ls -G

If you want to use the other option -l as in your example you can put them together:

$> set --universal grcplugin_ls -lG
