Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/cascadium/wsl-windows-toolbar-launcher/issues/35

I'm trying to make this use zsh rather than bash, and found a closed issue (#32) where it was explained you have to make use of a custom template for that. So I made this template where I only changed the first line:

#!/bin/zsh -i

source {{rcfile}}

{% if exec_dir is defined and exec_dir != "" %}

cd "{{exec_dir}}"

{% endif %}

{% if run_in_terminal is defined and run_in_terminal == True %}

{{command}}

{% else %}

{{command}} > /dev/null 2>&1 &
disown

{% endif %}

I then run this command:
wsl-windows-toolbar -r ~/.zshrc -J ~/etc/wslmenu-template.sh.j2

The output of the command indicates that the file is being used:

2021-02-18 20:50:28,843[INFO]: jinja_template_shell = /home/roy/etc/wslmenu-template.sh.j2

There are no errors in the output, just a warning about it not finding an icon-file for windows, which I assume isn't relevant.

However, the shortcut scripts created in %USERPROFILE%/.config/wsl-windows-toolbar-launcher/metadata/ do not reflect this, they're created with #!/bin/bash -i at the first line.

Thanks yeah this looks like a bug. It will only work if values for both -J (shell template) and -j (batch template) are provided - will need to fix that. In the meantime try providing both and it should work.
