# Issue #99 - psmux won't open with bash option set
# Tests that `set -g default-shell "C:/Program Files/Git/bin/bash.exe"` works correctly.
#
# The bug: When adding `set -g default-shell "C:/Program Files/Git/bin/bash.exe"`
# to the config, psmux refuses to open.
#
# This test verifies:
# 1. Config parsing correctly handles quoted paths with spaces
# 2. Server starts successfully with bash as default-shell
# 3. The pane actually runs bash (not pwsh/cmd)
# 4. Commands can be sent to and executed in the bash pane
# 5. Bare "bash" (no full path) works as default-shell
# 6. Paths with forward and backslashes both work
#
# https://github.com/psmux/psmux/issues/99
#
# Run: pwsh -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File tests\test_issue99_default_shell_bash.ps1
