Hyper: $SHELL environment variable not changing if different shell being used

[BenDiuguid]

First off, HyperTerm is AWESOME! 😄

In my .hyperterm.js file I have the shell field set to zsh:

shell: '/usr/local/bin/zsh'

but when I run echo $SHELL the response is: /usr/local/bin/bash
and when I run echo $0 the response is /usr/local/bin/zsh

This isn't currently causing any notable issues for me, but It may cause problems with other programs.

Any ideas? I'm open to submitting a PR, I just haven't figured out how to solve the problem yet.

Thanks!

I had a similar issue - are you on a Mac? Maybe try to change your default shell in the User settings of the system preferences. I had to change the shell there to make it work, and $SHELL now is /bin/zsh for me.

Issue for me as well, although I've set the shell in Hyper and used chsh. The shell is changed in Hyper and iTerm2 and echo $SHELL returns /bin/zsh in iTerm2 but in Hyper it returns /bin/bash.

Seems to be fixed with the latest release.

This is fixed for me as well!

this is still happening to me on a clean Mac..

I'm experiencing this too, right now. Similar scenario as described above: clean macOS, installed hyper. echo $SHELL on hyper returns /bin/bash, while it should be /usr/local/bin/fish.

still happening, $0 returns correct zsh. $shell does not change

still happening for me too.

Still have the same issue. Clean Mac. Regardless of what is set in hyper.js or using chsh, still receive

The default interactive shell is now zsh.
To update your account to use zsh, please run chsh -s /bin/zsh.

On start. Terminal has no issues.

This is still the same issue for me I'm running macOS 10.15.4 and if I run echo $SHELL or echo $0 in Hyper I get /bin/bash but if I run the commands in iTerm2 I get /usr/local/bin/zsh
