Re: Guix search, colors and INSIDE_EMACS

[Jack Hill]

Hi Guix,

I've been trying to follow this discussion as I have observed problems 
with the linking characters in eshell. However, it seems I am having 
seeing different behavior than others. In both Emacs 26.3 and Emacs-next 
27.0.50, running as `emacs -q`, INSIDE_EMACS is not being set in eshell 
so, guix describe looks like

guix describe

In shell and term mode, INSIDE_EMACS is being set, and everything looks fine 
(although without any highlighting).

Is something wrong with my emacs that INSIDE_EMACS is not being set?

Is there some other way that guix can detect if it is running from eshell?

Best,
Jack
