Getting an error when trying to cat from fish or zsh

Hi everyone, hoping someone can help me.

At the moment, I'm unable to use the cat utility from either fish or zsh shells. If I manually enter a bash shell, it works with no problem. As a work-around, I've installed ccat which does work from within zsh/fish.

The error I receive (applies to any files I try to cat):

 ╭─anthony@anthony in ~ as 🧙 took 2ms
 ╰─λ cat test.txt
error: Invalid value "rules" for '--style <components>': Unknown style, 'rules'

For more information try --help

In bash:

[anthony@anthony-desktop ~]$ cat test.txt
Testing123

ccat:

 ╭─anthony@anthony in ~ as 🧙 took 2ms
 ╰─λ ccat test.txt
Testing123

The same happens no matter what context I run it in, even if run by itself or with the --help flag:

 ╭─anthony@anthony in ~ as 🧙 took 2ms
[🔴] × cat
error: Invalid value "rules" for '--style <components>': Unknown style, 'rules'

For more information try --help

 ╭─anthony@anthony in ~ as 🧙 took 2ms
[🔴] × cat --help
error: Invalid value "rules" for '--style <components>': Unknown style, 'rules'

This is on a relatively brand new installation of Garuda, all I've installed since initial install and setup wizard (dependencies aside) are ccat, qbittorrent, and jellyfin. Haven't done any sort of customizing either, and downloaded using the latest dragonized gaming edition, with full upgrade performed on first boot.

Also, a reboot is due (just in case…)

As a note: we alias cat to bat which provides syntax highlighting and other features.

I did, get the same error with --help as with any other variant of cat.

As for ccat, ccat works fine. cat is the issue.

bat works, good enough for me, thank you!

I'm getting the same error when try to auto-complete the pacman -S.

Any tip?

Please.
New topic, this one is solved.
