I normally wrap the builtin cd into a function cd, which does some
additional things and then calls the builtin. Example:
function cd
{
local list=$(echo *.bui)
# ...
builtin cd "$1"
}
I have a PS1 like this:
PS1="\\w \$ "
With bash 3, this worked well; cd-ing into a directory changed the
prompt immediately. With bash 4, however, the prompt keeps unchanged
after a call to cd and only gets adjusted after the _next_ command. I
noticed that this depends on a subshell being used in the function.
Without that, it behaves as before.
Is that a bug? I can get the intended behaviour by putting
eval "PS1='$PS1'"
at the end of the function, but that's a rather ugly workaround.
Regards,
Bernd
