bug#17991: shell-mode: fails to recognize .bashrc files as shell scripts

[Andrew Pennebaker]

Yes, same on my machine.

I think this problem is specific to alternative config files (I've got a ".bashrc" for primary computer, ".bashrc-cygwin" for Windows, ".bashrc-android" for Android, and so on.

Could the default auto-mode-alist entry be tweaked to include any file with ".bashrc" as a prefix?

Works for me.

emacs-24.3 -Q .profile    -> shell-script
emacs-24.3 -Q .bashrc     -> shell-script

C-h v auto-mode-alist
 ("\\.[ck]?sh\\'\\|\\.shar\\'\\|/\\.z?profile\\'" . sh-mode)
 ("\\(/\\|\\`\\)\\.\\(bash_profile\\|z?login\\|bash_login\\|z?logout\\)\\'"
 . sh-mode)
 ("\\(/\\|\\`\\)\\.\\(bash_logout\\|shrc\\|[kz]shrc\\|bashrc\\|t?cshrc\\|esrc\\)\\'"
 . sh-mode)
