Description

  • I am on the latest Hyper.app version
  • I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate
  • Windows 10:
  • 3.0.0:
  • Link of a Gist with the contents of your .hyper.js:
  • Relevant information from devtools (CMD+ALT+I on macOS, CTRL+SHIFT+I elsewhere):
  • *yes:

Issue

Configured shell: 'C:\Windows\System32\bash.exe' and that works for the main window. When opening a new tab, the default cmd.exe opens.

Research direction

Reproduce on Windows 10 using the reported .hyper.js shell configuration, comparing the main window with a newly opened tab. Trace the configuration path used by each and verify that new tabs launch C:\Windows\System32\bash.exe rather than cmd.exe; done means both use the configured shell.
