Atom-ide-ui: WSL Terminal

[sGerli]

Description

I can't seem to find a way to change Atom-ide's default terminal to WSL.

Expected Behavior

Ability to change default terminal and environment to WSL.

Actual Behavior

I couldn't find a way to change it.

Versions

• Atom: 1.26.0
• Client OS: Windows 10
• atom-ide-ui: 0.11.1

Additional Details

• Visual Studio Coda has this feature and it's really useful for developing with node.js and using other linux only compiler like the Pebble SDK.

I'm not sure where home directory is on windows, but you should be able to follow directions here to specify a custom shell command: https://nuclide.io/docs/features/terminal/#custom-shell.

for the interested, here's the line that implements the logic: https://github.com/facebook-atom/atom-ide-ui/blob/master/modules/atom-ide-ui/pkg/atom-ide-terminal/lib/pty-service/shellConfig.js#L32

You can use that custom shell logic on Windows. Create the file under %userprofile%

You'll want to specify something like this:

{
  "command": [
    "C:\\windows\\system32\\cmd.exe",
    "/c",
    "bash"
  ]
}
