[SOLVED]fish outputs messages when tab-completing folder paths.

Like the title says, this happens:

set: Could not add component /usr/bin/perlbin/site to PATH.
set: No such file or directory
set: Could not add component /usr/bin/perlbin/site to PATH.
set: No such file or directory

Though, it does complete correctly afterwords.  This doesn't seem to be a big problem, yet...mostly a nuisance.  How could I tell it to stop displaying this message?

Re: [SOLVED]fish outputs messages when tab-completing folder paths.

Just remove that path from your /etc/profile.d/perlbin.sh file and the problem will disappear. Maybe you will have to logout and login again to apply the changes.

Re: [SOLVED]fish outputs messages when tab-completing folder paths.

Alternatively, in the event you will need those directories in the future, add this to your config.fish:

# fish does not allow setting nonexistant dir to PATH
# We'll set the PATH manually for now.
set -l myPATH $PATH
for i in $myPATH
        if test -d $i
                if not contains $i $newPATH
                        set newPATH $newPATH $i
                end
        end
end
set PATH $newPATH
set -e newPATH

set -e newPATH

I used this and it worked, thanks.
