Cannot run devbox script if another script is sourced in the init hook

[ashishkurian]

What happened?

Hello There.

I want to source a script as init hook. The reason is that my script have some custom function that I want to be available whenever I initiate a devbox shell. I also do not want to add them to my bashrc (not to mess with the default).

Then I want to have an additional devbox script to be run as on demand basis. Basically, I want to start up docker only when required and not as init hook.

What happens is that I get the following error.

However, if I just run the script in the ini hook instead of sourcing, it works just fine.

contents of configure.sh

#!/bin/bash

echo "Hello From the sourced script"

Steps to reproduce

1. Use the devbox.json
2. Run devbox run echo_once
3. If you update the init hook to bash instead of source, the script runs fine.

It's because the init hook runs in the sh shell, in which source is not a valid command. The POSIX equivalent to source is ..

So try changing source configure.sh to . configure.sh. It does mean that configure.sh cannot be a Bash script (so #!/bin/bash should be changed #!/bin/sh too), which is rather limiting.

#2148 would resolve this limitation.
