'command not found' error trying to run uru from Git Bash

[Wayne Vucenic]

@jonforums Thanks for uru! It works great when I'm running cmd.exe (on Win 7 Professional SP1 x64).

However, it doesn't work when I'm running Git Bash from Git for Windows:

#!

wayne@P50 MINGW64 ~
$ uru
bash: uru: command not found

wayne@P50 MINGW64 ~
$ uru.bat
uru v0.8.2
Usage: uru [options] CMD ARG...

where CMD is one of:
   TAG   use ruby identified by TAG, 'auto', or 'nil'
 admin   administer uru installation
   gem   run a gem command with all registered rubies
    ls   list all registered ruby installations
  ruby   run a ruby command with all registered rubies

for help on a particular command, type `uru help CMD`

OK, no big deal, I'll just use "uru.bat":

#!

wayne@P50 MINGW64 ~
$ uru.bat 231
---> now using ruby 2.3.1-p112 tagged as `231p112`

wayne@P50 MINGW64 ~
$ ruby -v
bash: ruby: command not found

I saw the same behavior above for Git for Windows 2.9.0-64 and the current 2.10.0-64

I get the same behavior on two different machines, so hopefully it's not just some configuration error on my end.

I did notice the git bash issue at the end of issue #60, but I'm seeing something a bit different. I'd be very glad to help debug this.

I suspect the problem is that uru needs to be "installed" in your Git for Windows environment similar to this recipe. Specifically, the portion in which eval "$(uru_rt admin install)" must be added to an appropriate shell startup script.

On my Win8.1 x64 machine using the portable version of 2.10.0 x64 (installed to C:\Apps\git) I see the following when running Git Bash after tweaking Git Bash's C:\Apps\git\etc\profile script:

eval "$(uru_rt admin install)"

    uru_rt "$@";
    if [[ -d "$URU_HOME" ]]; then
        if [[ -f "$URU_HOME/uru_lackee" ]]; then
            . "$URU_HOME/uru_lackee";
        fi;
    else
        if [[ -f "$USERPROFILE/.uru/uru_lackee" ]]; then
            . "$USERPROFILE/.uru/uru_lackee";
        fi;
    fi
}

If updating your shell config fixes the problem you're seeing, please close out this issue. If not, provide failure specifics and we'll figure it out.

[Wayne Vucenic]

Thanks!!! Doing as you suggested in the first two sentences above fixed this on both my systems.

On a slightly different note, I notice you've got Ruby 2.3.2. May I ask where you downloaded it? I don't see anything newer than 2.3.1 on rubyinstaller.org.

[Jon]

Glad to hear uru and Git Bash are now playing nicely on your system.

re: ruby 2.3.2, I build ruby from source on windows using my customizations to the rubyinstaller.org build recipes. I re-use the dev environment I used while a core developer of rubyinstaller.org. I retired from the project a few years ago as I don't use ruby much anymore.

System configuration issue.
