Which Wayland compositor or X11 Window manager(s) are you using?

No response

WezTerm version

20240405-180910-cce0706b

Did you try the latest nightly build to see if the issue is better (or worse!) than your current version?

Yes, and I updated the version box above to show the version of the nightly that I tried

Describe the bug

I discovered the following bug while using wezterm to create a script integration for the helix (vim-like) text editor. I call a wezterm cli function in order to split the pane, and then run a shell script in that window.

To Reproduce

Create a file called test.sh in your current terminal directory containing:

echo hello
read

Do not alter its permissions. This script should print "hello", and prevent the bash instance from closing until the user presses enter.

Call wezterm cli split-pane -- test.sh in order to create a separate pane, running test.sh in it. Wezterm becomes unresponsive, requiring a force quit.

Now, change the permissions to allow the shell script to be executable via a command like chmod +x test.sh. Rerunning wezterm cli split-pane -- test.sh now succeeds.

Configuration

no config

Expected Behavior

No crashes, possibly an error message like zsh: permission denied: ./test.sh

Logs

# There is only one file with this single line - I deleted all log files, then tried triggering the bug again
15:35:27.003  INFO   wezterm_gui::termwindow > QuitApplication over here (window)

Anything else?

No response

I can't reproduce this; this is what I see:

is there something else in your config or environment that might be influencing this?

[thomasaarholt]

Curious! I can no longer reproduce the error, and I do get the same behaviour that you describe. Before testing now, I ran brew install wezterm, found no error, and then tried the nightly version with the same result.

I suggest we just close this, and if I can reproduce in the future then we can have another look. Thanks for checking, and for writing a great terminal emulator!
