Setting path doesn't work.

[cj]

Hi,

So I have:

{
    "cmd_config": [{
    "exec_args": {
      "path": "/usr/local/bin:$PATH"
    }
  }],
    "input_widget": {
        "syntax": "Packages/ShellScript/Shell-Unix-Generic.tmLanguage"
    }
}

but it will not run commands. If I make cmd_config an empty array it will run commands just fine.

I have this for my coffee-script build and it works just fine:

{
   "cmd": ["/usr/local/bin/coffee", "-p", "$file"],
   "selector": "source.coffee",
   "path": "/usr/local/bin:$PATH"
}

p.s. thank you for such a great plugin.

exec_args is meant to be used for configuring specific commands based on a regex. I added a default_exec_args config that allows you to set a configuration to be used for all commands. The README is updated with the details.

In your case, if you put the following in your Packages/User/Shell Turtlestein.sublime-settings you should be good:

{
  "default_exec_args": {
    "path": "/usr/local/bin:$PATH"
  },
  "cmd_config": [
    // any additional configuration you want for specific commands
  ]
}

Thank you for the quick response and patch. I just tried it (restarted sublime) but it's still running under the same path and not the one i specified.....

Can you make sure the plugin is updated and the invalid cmd_config value you were using above is removed? Otherwise, Ctrl+~ will bring up a console that will show any errors that may be occurring.

[cj]

I have the latest version and this is what I have:

{
  "default_exec_args": {
    "path": "/usr/local/bin:$PATH"
  },
  "cmd_config": [],
  "input_widget": {
    "syntax": "Packages/ShellScript/Shell-Unix-Generic.tmLanguage"
  }
}

The only error I get in that console is no command for selector: noop:

Pasting that exact text into my settings file and running echo $PATH shows that /usr/local/bin has been added to the beginning of my path (redundantly, in my case).

Pasting this into the sublime console will tell you if Sublime is picking up your settings your default_exec_args correctly:

sublime.load_settings("Shell Turtlestein.sublime-settings").get('default_exec_args')

Also, are you using the package manager? I'm not sure if that thing automatically pushes out new commits from github or not...

So It looks like it is added it, but something is wrong as I get:

/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems.rb:334:in `bin_path': can't find executable rails for railties-3.1.2 (Gem::Exception)
    from /Users/cj/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p0@global/bin/rails:19

I had "path": "/Users/cj/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p0@global/bin:$PATH" is there a way to just run source ~/.profile before every command? Because if I run source ~/.profile && rails -v it works great.

[misfo]

You must be on a Mac. As you've discovered, your ~/.profile doesn't get sourced for GUI apps. There's a bunch of SO posts about this like this one:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/135688/setting-environment-variables-in-os-x

I got everything working by setting my path in ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist

[cj]

Yeep. I know, I got around it by including the path before, but that was for just one off commands. If we add a config option for a command that gets append to the front of everything like: `"cmd_append": "source ~/.profile" so when you run a command it's actually doing:

It will work great and be even more customizable:

[cj]

Something like this works great:

def exec_cmd(window, cwd, cmd):
    if settings().get('cmd_append'):
        cmd = settings().get('cmd_append') + " && " + cmd
    args = exec_args(cmd)
    args.update({'cmd': cmd, 'shell': True, 'working_dir': cwd})
    window.run_command("exec", args)
