[SOLVED] Add command to bash history when opening new terminal tab

Issue

I want to open a new tab in the terminal application (gnome-terminal, io.elementary.terminal, ..), execute the command via --, and see the command in the bash history, so I tried:

$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 5.1.16(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)

$ gnome-terminal -t foo -- bash -i -c 'history -s ls; bash'

but when I press PageUp in the newly created terminal ls neither history -s ls is not last used command in bash history. Why?

Solution

Missing exec:

• $ gnome-terminal -t foo -- bash -i -c 'history -s works; exec bash'
• $ konsole --new-tab -e bash -c -i 'history -s works; exec bash'
• $ io.elementary.terminal -t -e "bash -c -i 'history -s works; exec bash'"

works as expected.
