IntelliJ's embedded terminal does not load fish functions

Question

I\'m using IntelliJ\'s embedded terminal with the fish shell, which works well with one exception: it does not seem to load the fish functions defined in ~/.config/fish/fu

Answer 1

I still have the same problem in IntelliJ 2018.1 and also in Clion 2018.1. I tried to fix in Clion by suggestions in this thread, but someway it did not worked (I got even more error messages even if all seemed to be OK).

So my workaround solution is to set Idea terminal to /bin/bash (in Settings/Tools/Terminal - Shell Path), then as first command in terminal window enter fish.. and everything works fine, no fiddling with terminal plugin is needed.

(I find it quite a pity, that Jetbrain can't/doesn't want to fix it.. and /IDEA-173259 is "closed")
