"source: command not found" running basic example

[Jason Curtis]

Using the latest version of bass from github, bass doesn't seem to work at all. No matter what I try to run with it, I get the error message "source: command not found".

~/c/bass> git clone https://github.com/edc/bass
(...)

~/c/bass> make install
install -d ~/.config/fish/functions
install functions/__bass.py ~/.config/fish/functions
install functions/bass.fish ~/.config/fish/functions

[relaunch shell, then...]
~/c/bass> bass -d export X=4
read: Unknown option “-z”

No command 'source' found, did you mean:
 Command 'gource' from package 'gource' (universe)
source: command not found

I suspect your fish version is too old. What is your fish version? Mine is 2.6.0 and it works fine:

$ fish -v
fish, version 2.6.0

[Jason Curtis]

Yep, you nailed it. I had fish 2.0.0, apparently source was added somewhere between that and 2.6. Couldn't pin it down in the changelog, though.
