Steps to reproduce
wt x-save git status
wt
is pointing to stable version which does not have this feature yetwt --version
and saw that it was pointing to an older version (stable)I eventually figured out I had to set my
wt
alias to Canary by stumbling upon this comment: #17463 (comment)Here is what my alias settings were without me ever touching them. I had WT Stable installed obviously with windows, then installed WT Preview at one point and then recently installed WT Canary.
Expected Behavior
I am not sure. But at minimum this should be documented in the release notes and the original PR (since I looked there seeing if there was anything similar).
But ideally whatever terminal version you are in, I would expect / hope that
wt
would be "smart enough" to know to point to that specific terminal version (stable vs preview vs canary).Actual Behavior
You get an error and unless you know about the wt alias needing to be set you will think it is just a bug with the new snippet x-save feature (or at least I did for a long while until I figured it out).
