Installation with fin throws error for requiring `debug` about z

[jethrokuan]

@bucaran nope it's fixed!

[jethrokuan]

Right, I think this is because debug isn't included as a dependency in fin, but it is in fisherman. I think It's better that I clear off uses for that. Gonna fix it and do a quick push. Thanks for reporting!

[jethrokuan]

I think I fixed it, now it doesn't have any external dependencies whatsoever. Would love for you to try again. Thanks!

EDIT: missed out getopts

I face another problem now:

fin only copies only .fish files over, which leaves the .awk files behind. Do you think it would be a good idea to put the awk scripts into the fish files?

Or is this a problem that package managers like fin are supposed to solve?

[herrbischoff]

I tried the updated version and it does not output any error now.

Regarding the awk issue, since fin itself uses awk inside the script, I guess going inline would be the way to go.

[jethrokuan]

this was fixed in fin after talking to @bucaran .

I like my awk files outside, but when I bump into issues again, I'll move them into their .fish files.

@jethrokuan The awk files issue is fixed now, did I miss something?

@jethrokuan @bucaran

nope it's fixed!

Is it? I'm confused, awk files are still missing. I'm running fin v7 on Debian.

@Perlence Are you using fisherman or fin?

[Perlence]

Yep, I'm using fin this time 😄

And what's the problem exactly? I am pretty sure this issue was created based on a very early version of fin, possibly entirely different to the one you are using now :P

[Perlence]

Yes, I understand, but I looked to find similar issues here, and I thought that this one looked close enough.

The problem is that after installing fisherman/z with fin, it throws an error on invocation:

> cd ~/.config/fish
> cat fishfile
fisherman/z
> fin
> z dot
awk: fatal: can't open source file `/home/sviatoslav/.config/fish/functions/z.awk' for reading (No such file or directory)

Files z.awk and zadd.awk are missing.

Gotcha. Yes, fin won't play well with this plugin because it does not copy .awk or any other script files into the functions diretory, only .fish files.

This is not a problem with fin, it's just how it was designed, for simplicity. See this

[Perlence]

Ok, I see. So, how would you make this plugin work? Copy awk files yourself, or embed them in a fish file, or something else?

If you must use z and fin, then copy the .awk files to the same directory where the .fish files are, possibly ~/.config/fish/functions. The fin way is for plugins that use awk/perl to embed the script in the same file.

I'm glad you are using fin. It's my favorite!

[Perlence]

Thank you, I'll try one of the approaches 🙇
