Incompatibility with Z shell and direnv: `Invalid session ID ...`

[peterbecich]

Describe the bug

This issue is related to Z shell and https://github.com/direnv/direnv, and possibly https://github.com/nix-community/nix-direnv.

I think the issue is completely unrelated to Nix.

I have tested both Copilot CLI 0.0.365 and 0.0.367.

The error is:

   Invalid session ID: 1. Please supply a valid session ID to read ...

It occurs in these cases:

• shell is Z shell; then direnv allow to configure the shell; then copilot
  or
• nix develop -c /bin/zsh; then copilot

It does not occur when:

• shell is Z shell and not using direnv (direnv revoke); then copilot
  or
• shell is bash; then direnv allow to configure the shell; then copilot
  or
• shell is arbitrary; then nix develop to open Nix shell (default is bash); then copilot

Therefore, I suspect the issue is the combination of Z shell and direnv.

The issue #640 does not mention direnv, hence the new issue.

Workaround

• Enter the nix develop shell (or nix-shell); this is a bash shell by default
• then start copilot

or

• bash
• then direnv allow

The valid session ID error should not happen.

Can confirm this is an issue with direnv, zsh, nix on macos.
