[solved] fzf search suddenly not working in fish

Hey,

I was living nicely and happily with my fzf+fish integration, but now it stopped working out of nowhere. I use the official archlinux distributions of fzf and fish, keybindings enabled as per wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fzf

But when I do: `fzf-history-widget`, it just doesn't display anything - I don't see what I type until I hit enter where I apparently get "whatever got searched in background". When I try it in the very same terminal but with bash or zsh, it just works as expected. But not with fish.

Thanks!

I'm having the same problem, the history widget doesn't show up and fzf uses high CPU and memory in the background, but nothing happens in the shell.
I tried reinstalling everything related, ran fish with minimal config etc. but it won't work.
Some help would be great.
Thanks

Re: [solved] fzf search suddenly not working in fish

It's a bug in the new version of fish that was released this week : https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/issues/6955   A new release was quickly done to fix it, but the Arch package still hasn't been updated. I'm using `fish-git` from AUR until the package from the repo is updated.

As an aside, I think the first instinct you should have when getting a problem after upgrading an application is to check in that application bug tracker. You're more likely to get an answer there.

Thanks battuta. I checked the bug tracker, but I didn't manage to find the relevant issue :-/

Anyway, for now, I solved that by `sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/fish-3.1.0-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst` until we have a fix in official repo.
