[Bug]: commented commands not shown in history

[chain710]

What did you expect to happen?

Expect same behavior as bash, like:

# echo hello

You can find this record again using ctrl + r.

What happened?

Fresh install, can not find commands starts with '#'

I'm using Atuin 18.2.0 on MacOS and I'd also love to see commented-commands appear in my history

[ellie]

I'm afraid commented commands not showing is a limitation of bash-preexec. It's a hack we have to use to get shell hooks on bash, as bash does not support them itself

You have two options really

1. Stick with bash, but use ble.sh
2. Use any other shell supported by atuin. I'd usually suggest zsh.

[angrychimp]

I honestly didn't notice before that this bug was for bash. I am using zsh on MacOS - is there a config setting I should be using or something else I ought to do differently?

Could you give an example of a commented command that does not work for you? and could you share your zsh config please?

[chain710]

same: Mac + zsh, atuin doesn't show commented commands

Could you give an example of a commented command that does not work for you?

# echo hello

could you share your zsh config please?

export PATH=/usr/local/opt/libpq/bin:$HOME/.local/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH

[angrychimp]

I have a few more plugins installed, but I'm also using Oh My Zsh with the powerlevel10k theme and iterm2 integration.

[ellie]

I can replicate this with having installed oh-my-zsh, will see what config it's changing

Hi! Thanks for atuin and for reaching out from the tweet

I have no atuin doctor subcommand

$ atuin --version                    
atuin 18.0.1

I am on nixos and I have this setup in home manager

...
  programs.atuin = {
    enable = true;
  };

  programs.zsh = {
    enable = true;
    enableAutosuggestions = true;
    oh-my-zsh = {
      enable = true;
      plugins = [
        "command-not-found"
      ];
      theme = "agnoster";
    };

...

let me know if you need more details
