Newest Bash (GNU bash, version 5.1.0(1)-release (s390x-ibm-zos-gnu) does not call bashrc

We have been using bash GNU bash, version 4.3.46(51)-release (i370-ibm-openedition) which is pretty old.

Just updated to all the new Opensource Rocket tools and the new bash (5.1.0) does not call the .bashrc (or bashrc) anymore.

Switch back to the old version (4.3.46) and it works fine with no other changes.

Any ideas on why I am having this issue?

Potential solutions?
Thanks

Hi Mark Shackelford,

If bash is an interactive login shell it's expected behavior. You need to use ~/.bash_profile for this purpose.

You can simply use these lines for ~/.bash_profile

if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
	. ~/.bashrc
fi

Some details:

Interfactively, bash invokes .profile.

Non interactive which is where I am having the problem, it does not invoke .profile or .bashrc or bash_profile or bash_login.  Tried them all

5.1 does not work, the old 4.3 works everytime with no other changes.

5.1 seems to be broke.
