[plugin-shell] how to use the shell configuration option

[vp1981]

Hello.

I don't understand how to use the shell configuration option. If I set the 'shell' as

shell: "/usr/local/bin/sd-bash"

where sd-bash is a bash wrapper (to set some environment variables, like PATH) and then run the anyrun it still uses /bin/bash.

How I checked this: I have texdoc in /usr/local/opt/texlive/2024/bin/x86_64-linux and sd-bash sets PATH accordingly, but when I run :sh 'texdoc minted' I see the following in the Hyprland log:

/bin/bash: line 1: texdoc minted: command not found

P.S. The sd-bash is actually a symlink to sd-xxx with the following content:

[[ ! -e ${HOME}/.config/environ/${HOSTNAME} ]] &&
{
  echo "Host '${HOSTNAME}' doesn't have environment settings. Make one and run script again."
  exit 1
}

. ${HOME}/.config/environ/${HOSTNAME}

rn=$(basename $0)
rn=${rn#sd-}

shell_opt=''
[[ ${rn} == 'bash' ]] && shell_opt='-c'

rn=$(command -v ${rn}) || exit 1

[[ ${rn:0:1} != '/' ]] && exit 2

exec ${rn} "$@"

It seems like your script is running bash "texdoc minted" instead of bash -c "texdoc minted" like it should for bash to interpret the texdoc minted as verbatim shell commands.
