i run the code below to change the theme and font settings in the terminal user settings file, from within windows terminal
set -e
# 1/2
$font = $2
if [ $(uname) = Linux ]; then
if [ -n "$WSL_DISTRO_NAME" ]; then
echo "(wsl)"
WINDOWS_HOME=$(wslpath $(powershell.exe '$env:UserProfile') | sed -e 's/\r//g')
# echo expands glob
WINDOWS_TERMINAL_SETTINGS_DIR=$(echo $WINDOWS_HOME/AppData/Local/Packages/Microsoft.WindowsTerminal*/LocalState)
jq --arg base_name "$font" '.profiles.list |= map(if .source == "Windows.Terminal.Wsl" then .font.face = $font else . end)' \
"$WINDOWS_TERMINAL_SETTINGS_DIR"/settings.json \
> temp.json && mv temp.json "$WINDOWS_TERMINAL_SETTINGS_DIR"/settings.json
fi
fi
# 2/2
$theme = $3
if [ -n "$WSL_DISTRO_NAME" ]; then
echo "(wsl)"
WINDOWS_HOME=$(wslpath $(powershell.exe '$env:UserProfile') | sed -e 's/\r//g')
WINDOWS_TERMINAL_SETTINGS_DIR=$WINDOWS_HOME/AppData/Local/Packages/Microsoft.WindowsTerminal*/LocalState
# echo expands glob, but ls -d does not
SETTINGS_FILE=$(echo $WINDOWS_TERMINAL_SETTINGS_DIR)/settings.json
echo $SETTINGS_FILE
echo $ENVIRONMENT_DIR/src/themes/$theme/terminal.json
jq --slurpfile theme "source_dir/src/themes/$theme/terminal.json" \
'.schemes = [$theme]' \
$SETTINGS_FILE \
> temp.json && mv temp.json $SETTINGS_FILEin both cases, the code fails to live edit and it pops this error
what happens after i restart windows terminal is that i lose my custom profiles, schemes & starting tab, and it reverts back to the default Windows Terminal settings
Steps to reproduce
- create a bash file with the code
- run in a linux tab, within wsl2
Expected Behavior
should be able to update the users settings file in windows terminal
Actual Behavior
doesnt edit the users settings file and windows terminal displays and error
