For loop fails as script but works in the REPL

[sebastien]

What happened, and what did you expect to happen?

When running the following script using elvish script.elv fails with the following error Exception: exec: "str:trim": executable file not found in $PATH. However, copy-pasting each line in the REPL works as expected.

Script:

var lines = [one two three]
for line $lines { echo (str:trim $line ' ') }

Using Elvish 0.21.0

Output of "elvish -version"

0.21.0

Code of Conduct

• I agree to follow Elvish's Code of Conduct.

You have to include use str in your script.

You probably have that line in rc.elv, but elvish doesn't read the init files when executing a script. (To see what I mean, try your example in an interactive shell started as elvish -norc.)
