cd does not work

[apaleslimghost]

Running cd does nothing. There is no output in the console. I've tested this on 0.0.34 and latest master.

cd appears to work for me on 0.0.34. I am running El Capitan 10.11.5 (15F34). I do not see any console output, but directories have changed if I check with ls. What is your OS version? Did you install using brew cask install black-screen?

[cryptiklemur]

Can confirm that a new install of black-screen (via brew cask install) on El Capitan 10.11.5, that cd does not work on the latest version.

cd is working on the latest version installed via brew cask for me on:

@quarterto there is current directory on the left side of the bottom panel. Does it change when you cd?

[apaleslimghost]

No.

I had the same issue. Can you guys run alias cd in your command line? If you you for example have alias cd="nocorrect cd" black-screen will use this alias to expand your prompt input.

But after that it gets lost because cd expands to nocorrect cd and black-screen doesn't know nocorrect command. Quick solution is to remove this alias from your config files.

Long lasting solution is to let PTY do it's job with cd and then parse the new folder from it. Another argument for #449

(this is the reason why the command (at least in my case) silently passes https://github.com/shockone/black-screen/blob/master/src/utils/Shell.ts#L50)

@viktomas how to parse shell session environment and not to lose the return status of the executed command?

For example, I execute cd foo; false and want to know both the new PWD and that $? is 1.

[viktomas]

@shockone: Understand. I'll try to have a look how the $PROMPT_COMMAND in zsh works. I don't think it's going to be an easy issue to solve and I'm not even sure that pty.js will provide all the interface we need.

[vlad-shatskyi]

@viktomas it's not the same as in $PROMPT_COMMAND. A shell preserves the same session between jobs, but we create a new one every time in order to know when a previous job ended.

Hey I'm also experiencing this issue I didn't know what to include in the debug info so I hope this picture will do

Same here on OSX 10.11.6 (15G31). Thought first it might be an Issue with zsh, but the same happens with bash as well.

[sei0o]

Same here with zsh. I'm using macOS Sierra(10.12) Beta (16A201w).

I digged a little deeper and found following error message (funnily I don’t use rvm)

fs.js:1578 Uncaught (in promise) Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, realpath '/Users/MYUSER/.rvm/rubies/default' at Error (native) at Object.realpathSync (fs.js:1578:18) at Object.fs.realpathSync (ELECTRON_ASAR.js:303:29) at /Applications/Black Screen.app/Contents/Resources/app.asar/compiled/src/plugins/RVM.js:23:23 at next (native) at fulfilled (/Applications/Black Screen.app/Contents/Resources/app.asar/compiled/src/plugins/RVM.js:4:58)

Where are we at on this? I'm getting the same problem. @shockone

[vlad-shatskyi]

The workaround is to remove the cd='nocorrect cd' alias from your shell config.

Seems like it's the same problem. fasd_cd is a function defined in prezto https://github.com/sorin-ionescu/prezto/blob/master/modules/fasd/init.zsh#L40
it works fine in zsh with iterm.
