User config snippets are not loaded in nvim terminal

[faho]

So I have a nice setup like this:

Note: Setting the XDG variables in config.fish basically doesn't really work because it is too late.

If you want to really use them for anything, you'll have to set them outside of fish. Of course here you set them to their defaults, so it doesn't really matter.

In this case I suspect that nvim starts fish with them set to something else, the config snippets are read according to that directory, then your config.fish is read but at that point the snippets are already done.

The snippets are $__fish_config_dir/conf.d/*.fish $__fish_sysconf_dir/conf.d/*.fish $__fish_vendor_confdirs/*.fish, you can see what you get there with e.g.

set -l snippets $__fish_config_dir/conf.d/*.fish $__fish_sysconf_dir/conf.d/*.fish $__fish_vendor_confdirs/*.fish
echo $snippets

In normal terminal I can see both configs being loaded:

In nvim terminal only one is being loaded:

(notice how it loads twice, apparently it's a feature in toggleterm.nvim. In the default nvim terminal it prints from main cfg once, but still no aliases)

Thank you for your assistance!

I only set them there for nvim since fish was using the desired location already. I now set them on the system level so it's consistent (just in case).

Which surprised me since if snippets are read from another directory, why config is read from the one I want?

The snippets are $__fish_config_dir/conf.d/*.fish $__fish_sysconf_dir/conf.d/*.fish $__fish_vendor_confdirs/*.fish, you can see what you get there with

That helped debugging the issue:

1. fish can't use windows/mixed paths (probably a msys2 and cygwin issue). For example set -l snippet $__fish_config_dir/conf.d/*.fish fails with code 124. So does ls C:/Users/User/.config/fish/conf.d/*.fish with message fish: No matches for wildcard. If I use a unix path, it works. Perhaps fish uses similar code to get and execute the snippets and thus can't find any.
2. So I tried to use unix paths. However the variables would get overwritten to mixed paths once I'm in nvim terminal. It's probably some extra scripts from nvim which I'm not aware of.

I added the following code to config.fish:

for var in XDG_DATA_HOME XDG_CONFIG_HOME XDG_CACHE_HOME
    set -gx $var $(cygpath -u $$var)
end

and it worked because fish is being executed multiple times from nvim before it opens the terminal. Somewhat hacky, I will research for a proper fix later (maybe run a startup script for fish from nvim).
