Terminal keeps starting with `sh` instead of `bash`

See original GitHub issue

Hi,

Every time I open a new terminal, it uses the sh instead of bash (which is what I have selected as shell. I am using Ubuntu 17.04

The following error is shown in the developer tools, though it does not seem to be directly related:

Hi, I could reproduce the issue in Ubuntu 16.04.

Another workaround for it is to go to Settings > Terminal > Shell > Custom and then write /bin/bash in the “Custom shell” textbox.

I have been browsing through the code, the error that @Vinno97 mentioned seems related though, but not the main cause. In the end that error caused because sessionOptions is null in this line: https://github.com/Eugeny/terminus/blob/0420b2dbb91f9729dec5250d148a83de12b5e14f/terminus-terminal/src/components/terminalTab.component.ts#L114

However, if I change the Custom shell to /bin/bash --login (which would be the same as if you select /bin/bash in the dropdown), then the error is gone and still the shell doesn’t work.

I hope this helps 😃
