powershell can be run on Mac and Linux (not sure about usage though). Maybe we need to call unixpath here too? We probably can't know if we're in WSL or Cygwin, or do we? based on the infer_shell infra and the process-walking method?
What I'm thinking is--maybe it's not shell-related, but environment related, and therefore if we have this information?
We can start without any inference, so it will require the following, if one wants to use the Windows version of fnm within Cygwin or WSL:
fnm env --path-formatter=cygwin
fnm env --path-formatter=wsl
what do you think about it?

Powershell actually uses the correct path format for each platform so we don't have to convert the path to the right format. The windows shell inference code that we have breaks when run in WSL, so inferring isn't possible without reworking that somehow and I can't think of any way to do that currently, but for now I can implement it with flags.

Actually, I figured out a way to detect if the executable is being run from WSL, but inferring the shell is not possible and the user needs to provide it as a flag (maybe there can be a custom error message for it).
Detecting WSL works the same way as shell inferring, at some point up the parent process chain there is a process named "wsl.exe", but there's no information on the shell being used.

Superseded by #960 , sorry |
Related to #390.
Fix environment variable generation for
fnm envin Windows.Cygwin, MSYS, and Git Bash use UNIX-style paths (like
/c/Users/username/AppData/Local/fnm_multishells), but fnm generates Windows-style paths (likeC:\Users\username\AppData\Local\fnm_multishells) in Windows, regardless of the shell.With these changes, fnm can convert paths to UNIX using
cygpathin bash, zsh, and fish, but leave Windows paths alone in pwsh and cmd.
