The setenv function in fish shell has changed dramatically in
75600b6b53
It now conforms to the csh version, which takes at most two arguments.
In this init script, the form
setenv PATH prepend_something $PATH
had been used, which had too many arguments.
Since setenv isn't a native command in fish, a suitable replacement is
to use the "set -gx" command, which can consume multiple arguments.
This allows subcommand style plugins to properly autocomplete.
Existing commands are not affected.
Example, say you have support for `rbenv foo bar --flag`, then
this allows the last `--flag` argument to be properly completed.
Keeping rbenv-controlled variables to RBENV_* "namespace" helps with
discoverability (and tools like rbenv-env) but also consistency and a
very minor degree of safety/isolation from env impact.
This ensures that OLD_RBENV_VERSION is never exported. This makes the
implementation a little bit more complex, since more logic needs to be
pushed down into eval'd code.
The literal tilde in a PATH entry (e.g. `~/.rbenv/shims`) doesn't seem
to be supported by system `which` utility, but *does* seem to be
supported by `command -v` (used in `rbenv-which`) and `type -p`.
Therefore, we must strip away `~/.rbenv/shims` from PATH when looking up
executables for system Ruby, lest we risk infinite loop. We do so by
substituting any occurence of `~` in PATH with the value of `HOME`.
Per [the fish documentation for "source"](file:///usr/local/Cellar/fish/2.2.0/share/doc/fish/commands.html#source) - ". (a single period) is an alias for the source command. The use of . is deprecated in favour of source, and . will be removed in a future version of fish."
The README details `eval`ing `rbenv init -`, but for some shells (such as fish) there's a difference in what should be run. It turns out that `rbenv init` on its own will print correct instructions, so we should point users to running that command instead.
It seems rbenv now comes with ruby-build. I have not investigated fully, but the previously shown command: `brew install rbenv ruby-build` caused issues on my machine. After uninstalling both and simply running `brew install rbenv` everything worked fine.
`rbenv shell -` allows you to switch to the previously activated ruby
version. Similar to `cd -` or `git checkout -`.
This tries to implement `rbenv shell -` as proposed in #854. However,
adding support seemed to break the "shell change version" test. I'm not
very good at Bash programming, can someone tell me what is wrong with
what I'm doing? I'd like to add a bit more functionality to this, but
I'm really just cargo cult programming Bash.
Thank you!
fix tests
`default` was made legacy back in 2011 with
5be66da9f4 (the command was renamed from
`rbenv-default` to `rbenv-global`, and so the global file was renamed
from `$RBENV_ROOT/default` to `$RBENV_ROOT/global` (the latter taking
precedence)
`global` was then made legacy about a month later in Sep 2011 when the
preferred filename was changed to `$RBENV_ROOT/version`.
