Without the colour codes, this is:
ParserError:
Line |
1 | … z4msjwn-zed-editor-0.211.6/libexec/.zed-editor-wrapped --printenv >&0
| ~
| Missing file specification after redirection operator.
Running .zed-editor-wrapped --printenv works by itself; but the >&0 is not valid in pwsh.
If I launch zed via an existing terminal session (rather than, e.g. a launcher) it works fine.
Note: Yes, I realize how cursed using pwsh as my login shell in linux is.
