My ob-elvish module has been working well for me, but I was thinking if the best would be to make ob-shell work with elvish instead of having a whole separate library for it. I tried adding “elvish” to org-babel-shell-names, and it seems to get recognized OK as a shell name, but execution of code blocks fails. I get an empty RESULTS block and the following messages:

executing Elvish code block...

Wrote /var/folders/h0/rh70xwd16913g_2lg0rx9_300320w3/T/babel-37847fAl/ob-input-37847AFC

Error reading results: (beginning-of-buffer)

Code block produced no output.

This happens even for really simple blocks, e.g.:

#+begin_src elvish

echo "hi"

#+end_src

Before I go looking in the code, I was wondering if anyone can tell if I’m missing anything obvious - I just added “elvish” to org-babel-shell-names. Since “fish” works fine, I assume a POSIX shell is not expected, but maybe there is something else that ob-shell is assuming?

Thanks!

Hi,

I'm happy to announce my ob-elvish package which allows running Elvish shell code (https://elvish.io/) from within an org-mode buffer using org-babel.

If you want to take a look: https://github.com/zzamboni/ob-elvish

It's not on ELPA yet, I will submit it soon.

Feedback welcome!
