GVM doesn't work with Fish shell

[ctwise]

The previous work-around for using GVM with the Fish shell was to add all the 'current' links to the PATH. This appears to be broken with newer versions of GVM. The 'current' link is only set to the default version of the given tool and doesn't get updated when 'use'-ing a different version.

Unfortunately we do not support fish shell. Only bash and zsh are supported (as well as power shell through posh GVM).

The real solution would be to write a client for fish shell that utilises the GVM API.

Not cool guys, totally not cool. I've been using GVM alongside fish shell for about 1 year and today my setup was broken after update from GVM to sdkman.

As before, we do not officially support fish shell. If you want to get involved to make it compatible, feel free to fork and contribute to this free service that we are providing to you.

Thanks but this is not working solution.

Simple workaround, add to ~/.config/fish/config.fish:

# sdkman
set PATH $PATH (find ~/.sdkman/candidates/*/current/bin -maxdepth 0)

Completion script from your blog is working after removing first invalid method named: __fish_gvm_no_command.

Sorry, fixed the post.

Thx, works like a charm 👍

You should support fish-shell, I don't think that should be a difficult task and fish-shell is much better than the old fashioned bash shell. Also thanks for this great work, sticking with bash for now.

We still have no major plans to support fish shell as it still has a pretty
small user base. You could always try ZSH of course ;-P

So, this is all about popularity :) I dont get why happy fish user could try ZSH? Could you explain?

[marc0der]

Probably because making sdkman compatible with a new shell (with
corresponding automated tests) is a lot of work and effort. Remember that
this project is free and worked on in our own spare time.

If the fish shell community wants to be supported, we would gladly
accommodate them and we welcome good quality PRs to our project.
