hi,
this one left me puzzeled for quite a while:
i was doing something along the lines of:
> ls foo/*/(ls bar)
and i kept getting:
fish: Warning: No match for wildcard "foo/*/(ls bar)". The command will not be
executed.
ls foo/*/(ls bar)
^
which made no sense because on manual inspection the files were there.
then i tried:
> for i in (ls bar); ls foo/*/$i; end
fish: Warning: No match for wildcard #foo/*/$i#. The command will not be
executed.
for i in (ls bar); ls foo/*/$i; end
^
> ls bar
bar* baz* gazong*
> ls foo/*/*
foo/ba/bar* foo/ba/baz* foo/ba/gazong* foo/fo/a* foo/fo/b* foo/fo/c*
files are there, so why where they not found?
this took me some time to figure out.
in the end i discovered:
> ls bar/ | less
bar*
baz*
gazong*
why are there *s behind the files in the pipe?
of course fish can't find files that end with "*"
> functions ls
function ls --description List\ contents\ of\ directory
command ls --color=auto --indicator-style=classify $argv
end
that's the bug:
removing --indicator-style=classify solved the problem.
but i love classify, i don't want to remove it.
this leads to the question:
how can a function detect if it is being used in a pipe?
interrestingly, after creating a fixed copy of the function in my users
directory i discovered this:
> ls bar
bar* baz* gazong*
> ls bar
bar baz gazong
> functions ls
function ls --description List\ contents\ of\ directory
command ls --color=auto $argv
end
> functions ls
function ls --description List\ contents\ of\ directory
command ls --color=auto --indicator-style=classify $argv
end
it seems that fish is getting randomly confused about which function to use...
greetings, martin.
