Platformio-atom-ide-terminal: Add support for Ubuntu bash in Windows 10

[0ski]

24 - any workaround with PowerShell or CMD doesn't work

+1 I feel like this might be an issue with Atom itself; it can't even see bash.exe

+1 PowerShell can't see bash.exe inside platformio-atom-ide-terminal the way it can outside.

From powershell.exe run from the Windows 10 Start Menu:

PS H:\> dir C:\Windows\System32\bash.exe


    Directory: C:\Windows\System32


Mode                LastWriteTime         Length Name
----                -------------         ------ ----
-a----       2016-09-13     08:54          70656 bash.exe

From platformio-atom-ide-terminal's default shell C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe:

PS H:\> dir C:\Windows\System32\bash.exe
dir : Cannot find path 'C:\Windows\System32\bash.exe' because it does not exist.

Hey guys, I was having the same problem... Try entering this in "Settings" > "Shell Override":

C:\\WINDOWS\\sysnative\\bash.exe

It worked for me. Got the idea from Jessica Deen on Channel 9 when she did the same for Visual Studio Code... Hope this helps.
