source venv/bin/activate returns non-zero on systems with hashing disabled #149701
Description
Bug report
Bug description:
After creating a venv with python -m venv .venv, attempting to source .venv/bin/activate on a system with hashing disabled successfully activates the venv, but returns non-zero.
bash-5.3$ set +h
bash-5.3$ hash
bash: hash: hashing disabled
bash-5.3$ python -m venv .venv
bash-5.3$ source .venv/bin/activate
(.venv) bash-5.3$ echo $?
1This can make it appear that there was an error sourcing activate when there wasn't, especially for styled prompts that can color code based on command success such as starship.
