Terminus: Custom shells do not launch on Windows

[mikemaccana]

I use Powershell 6, which is located in C:\Program Files\PowerShell\6.0.0\pwsh.exe

> which pwsh 
> C:\Program Files\PowerShell\6.0.0\pwsh.exe

I cannot launch a custom shell using Terminus. I have tried:

• pwsh
• "C:\Program Files\PowerShell\6.0.0\pwsh.exe"

Both just start a new window when a tab is launched without showiung a shell. DevTools console shows:

C:\Users\mike\AppData\Local\terminus\app-1.0.0-alpha39\resources\app.asar\node_modules\@angular\cor…:1052 ERROR Error: Uncaught (in promise): TypeError: Cannot read property 'getWorkingDirectory' of undefined

Even using cmd a custom shell doesn't work.

Thanks!

Damn that was fast! Do you know when the next update will be, want to get my hands on the fix!

Just wanted to say Terminus is excellent: I've tried Hyper (Ctrl C doesn't work), ConEmu (I use daily for 10 hours bit it's a mess), and that GPU accelerated one whose name I forget (still too unstable), and Terminus has the only one which is both stable and pleasant. Thanks so much for making it and I hope to contribute a theme or so soon!

Thanks Mike, glad you like it!

Hey there, just retrying now the fix should be included, and setting "Custom" and running "C:\Program Files\PowerShell\6-preview\pwsh.exe" just pauses.

How can I launch a custom shell?

This won't answer the question of "how to launch a custom shell" but I'm also using Powershell 6, and I was able to use it in Terminus by selecting "Powershell Core" as my shell. This option appeared after I installed Powershell 6 and rebooted.

Thanks for an awesome terminal @Eugeny and thanks for your Powershell profile repo @mikemaccana!

An old one but in case anyone stumbles upon Custom Shell issues, the path needs no quotes around it.
