Fish - The friendly interactive shell

I noticed that in fish if you "cd" to a non-existant directory it does not report an
error. You stay in the current directory, which is reasonable, but it would be nice
get an error message like you get in bash or tcsh so you are made aware that
you are not where you think you are.

This is a bug disguised as a missing feature. There is an error message, but it is not printed because of a bug in the error reporting code. This is fixed in the latest version of fish, version 1.9.2.
