The fish shell and executing programs from bash through `function`
When you run bash file_name it means you're trying to run file_name as a bash script.
Try this instead:
bash -c '$HOME/lib/atom/bin/Atom/atom "$@"' dummy $argvThe -c means "run this command with bash" instead of "run this script with bash".
As Charles pointed out in the comments, we have to do a bit of tweaking to pass the parameters to the command. We pass them to bash which will use them as positional parameters inside of the supplied command, hence the $@.
should be: bash -c '$HOME/lib/atom/bin/Atom/atom "$@"' _ $argv
The underscore will become bash's $0
A demo:
$ function test_bash_args bash -c 'printf "%s\n" "$@"' _ $argv end$ test_bash_args one two threeonetwothreeIf you need that bash session to load your configs, make it a login shell.
So, bottom line: ~/.config/fish/functions/start-atom.fish
function start-atom bash -l -c '$HOME/lib/atom/bin/Atom/atom "$@"' _ $argvend
