Command cannot be directly used in Git Bash on Windows

[daief]

My issue is different from the one discussed at #3961, so I apologize for opening a new discussion. It looks that the shims have been properly added to the PATH, but their behavior is not as expected. Here are the details(Git Bash):

admin MINGW64 ~/AppData/Local/mise/shims
$ echo $PATH
...:/c/Users/admin/AppData/Local/mise/shims:...

admin  MINGW64 ~/AppData/Local/mise/shims
$ mise x -- node -v
v20.18.1

admin  MINGW64 ~/AppData/Local/mise/shims
$ node -v
bash: node: command not found

admin  MINGW64 ~/AppData/Local/mise/shims
$ mise use -g node@20
mise C:\Users\admin\.config\mise\config.toml tools: [email protected]

admin  MINGW64 ~/AppData/Local/mise/shims
$ node -v
bash: node: command not found

At the same time, when triggering git hooks (such as pre-commit), I am also unable to use the node command. I suspect it may be the same issue.

Please help me, thank you very much!

There is already an open issue/PR around this. Several problems exists in case of Git Bash on Windows. The mise activate bash does not generate the correct paths for .bashrc (C:\Path\To\Program instead of /c/Path/To/Program). Same issue exists for exposing tools to PATH. When using shims, the fact that they use a .cmd extension interfers with Git Bash and Cygwin. There is a command_not_found_hook that can be setup to work around this.

[daief]

Adding command_not_found_handle to .bash_profile can resolve issues in Git Bash, but it still doesn’t work in git hooks because non-interactive shells seem not to automatically load files like .bash_profile or .bashrc.

Valid point, i guess best would be to have shims for PowerShell and Bash in Windows.
