I stepped into choose_shell with a debugger. Apparently type_ is 'zsh', and command is -/bin/zsh.

Steps to replicate

I use Tilix and zsh. It just crashes when I run pipenv shell.

When I run pipenv shell from another TTY, it just works as expected.

Provide the steps to replicate (which usually at least includes the commands and the Pipfile).

A workaround is to add the following to .zshrc:

export PIPENV_SHELL="$SHELL"
