# Objective - Fix PowerShell discovery when Scoop is installed outside the default `%USERPROFILE%\scoop` directory. - Zed currently ignores Scoop's `SCOOP` environment variable, so it can miss `pwsh.exe` and fall back to another shell. ## Solution - Use the `SCOOP` environment variable as the Scoop root when it is set. - Fall back to `%USERPROFILE%\scoop` when `SCOOP` is unset. - Preserve the PowerShell discovery order and file validation from the current `main` branch. The original change also covered Git Bash. That is no longer needed after #63339 changed Git Bash discovery to follow the active Git installation. ## Testing - `cargo fmt --all --check` - `cargo test -p gpui_util` — 2 passed, 0 failed. - `cargo check -p gpui_util --tests --target x86_64-pc-windows-msvc` — passed. - Did not runtime-test the Windows-specific path on this macOS host because Windows test binaries cannot run natively here. - To test manually on Windows, set `SCOOP` to a custom Scoop root containing `shims\pwsh.exe`, launch Zed, and verify that PowerShell is selected. ## Self-Review Checklist: - [x] I've reviewed my own diff for quality, security, and reliability - [x] Unsafe blocks (if any) have justifying comments - [x] The content adheres to Zed's UI standards ([UX/UI](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#uiux-checklist) and [icon](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/blob/main/crates/icons/README.md) guidelines) - [ ] Tests cover the new/changed behavior - [x] Performance impact has been considered and is acceptable Release Notes: - Fixed PowerShell installed by Scoop not being detected when Scoop uses a custom installation directory. - [GPUI] Fixed PowerShell discovery for custom Scoop installations on Windows.
