If I try to point to the new bash.exe via the Settings > Terminal > Shell path > Shell Executable Path, I can't see it in the picker (it's there in the file system). If I manually add the path, I get the error: Specified cannot be found. If I cancel the picker and manually change the path in the Shell path field, it allws me to Apply and OK, but when I open the Terminal I get the error: java.io.IOException: Couldn't create PTY.
This is the new Windws 10 Insider Preview 14316_rs1 (160402-2217) release.
This is not a duplicate of the issues related to users trying to include a path with spaces. This is an issue with the selection menu not displaying bash.exe as a choice in C:\windows\system32, additionally the Jetbrains menu for settings does not allow you to enter a path and click "OK", it forces you to select from the list of files.
Worked finde for me by setting it to C:\Windows\System32\bash.exe, only problem is that it open in / and not my project dir, not sure if bash has option for that. I know you dan do ``` C:\Windows\System32\bash.exe -c "vi somefile.txt" ``` and it will run that in a gui but that didnt seem to work for cd project path
One thing is that I work on SSD's so everything is pretty fast, yet listing System32 folder took about 3-4 min, and i had to scroll forever to find bash.exe.
@Christian I get the same error and I can't find the bash.exe in the tree view. Setting it manually gives the same error. I dont't know how @Ruben could open that.
@christian : I don't believe it's a solid solution though, i think it is a bug with windows symlinks..
@artem yeh, i noticed the same, i wanted to add an argument to have it load/start in the right directory (although it would be a setting per project) which just broke the whole terminal when I did
it would be nice if there was some kind of config when selecting bash/WSL as your terminal , like to be able to set a path translation, eg C:\ would translate to /mnt/c/
@artem : Yes I confirm that it is not an solid solution...;) Today, I've got the error again .. And fix it by changing terminal settings to this : C:\Windows\WinSxS\amd64_microsoft-windows-lxss-bash_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.14393.351_none_79648c7a5a883c6f\bash.exe
Yesterday evening I did an apt-get update in bash.exe... Maybe this has something to do with... Is it the Same for you ?
I had this problem with Idea, and it took me a while to figure out that my shortcut was actually launching the 32bit version of the IDE. Once I opened the 64bit version, I could just change cmd.exe to bash.exe and it works.
@Rodrigo, glad to hear it's working! I had been researching this all afternoon, and then later in the day realized I couldn't even launch bash from the cmd.exe terminal. I came across a discussion talking about how the the 32bit cmd.exe couldn't launch (the 64 bit) bash.exe. When I read that, it sort of clicked, and I realized I had been using the 32 bit version of Idea.
I can launch my git-bash after setting the "shell path", however, a problem I face is, it always pops up a new bash window instead of a embedded frame within the "terminal" view.

Please fix this!
looks related to https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-136139
I got it to work. Just copy bash.exe to "C:\bash.exe" and put "C:\bash.exe" in "Settings > Terminal > Shell path" then it will work.
Thanks. Good for a work around, but not for a fix, surely.
UP....
I've just downloaded and installed Windows 10 1607 + bash and try to use bash as terminal inside PHPStorm 2016.2 and got the same error...
Any news on that ?

@Ruben
This is really strange ! Same settings do not work on my W10...=> java.io.IOException ...
One thing is that I work on SSD's so everything is pretty fast, yet listing System32 folder took about 3-4 min, and i had to scroll forever to find bash.exe.
@Christian I get the same error and I can't find the bash.exe in the tree view. Setting it manually gives the same error. I dont't know how @Ruben could open that.
@Ruben There are some settings are we missing?

After installing the 64-bit jdk from Oracle and running the PhpStorm64.exe, bash.exe is running fine. Thanks @Mark!

Working with fish on Webstorm terminal on Windows 10 using 64bit jdk, awesome
"C:\windows\system32\bash.exe" -c fish -cur_console:p
Also with ZSH
`"C:\windows\system32\bash.exe" -c zsh`
Or simply use `bash.exe`
for version phpstorm 2017 (windows 10) settings work!!!

I am using windows 7 + intellij ultimate 2017.3
I can launch my git-bash after setting the "shell path", however, a problem I face is, it always pops up a new bash window instead of a embedded frame within the "terminal" view.
Does any one know how to fix this please ?
