.bash-profile

[maduhaime]

I'm trying to use shell to run ruby and rails command (using rbenv on Mac) but the .bash_profile is probably not loaded when your plugin is activated.

I have tried to loaded manually using "source ~/.bash_profile" but it's not working. Any clue on how to make it work?

Thanks

@maduhaime I am pretty sure this is the same as issue #22
I'm not a mac guy at all but I'm looking into this as to why the mac environment path isn't being loaded.

Also haven't had much time to put into this lately and I have quite a few changes that I need to finish up here soon and get committed. I'll try to touch base with you here sometime next week and give you a quick status update on where I stand with this.

Yes John, it is the same issue. This is a clue. Find with the help of Google...

Excerpt from man bash:

When bash is invoked as an interactive login shell, or as a non-interactive shell with the --login option, it first reads and executes commands from the file /etc/profile, if that file exists. After reading that file, it looks for ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile, in that order, and reads and executes commands from the first one that exists and is readable.

su on the other hand also does not start a login shell by default, you have to tell it to do so by using the --login option.

It is probably related to the way Node implement child_process exec.

Thanks for the help with the research. That will be helpful. Hopefully I'll have a chance here soon to give it a try. Thanks again.

Node.js is the next things on my learning list... Maybe one day I'll come back with a pull request!

For *unix: May want to try to spawn (rather than exec) an actual terminal and just pipe all the input in there (and deal with the output streams similar as you do atm).
So that you're literally just a wrapper, would have the advantage that you can do everything like in a "real" terminal.

Not sure that makes sense but might be worth looking into.

Sorry everyone, I was on vacation for 2 weeks and then came back to a pile of work at my day job. Hoping to get a new release out this weekend. Have already been looking into making the switch to use spawn instead of exec.

@maduhaime . The shell should now be picking up your bash profile. I do not have a mac to test this but if you would verify this is fix is v0.0.7 I would appreciate it and then I can mark this closed.

[johnhidey]

I finally have this working. I have verified this on an installation of Ubuntu 14 x86. All worked worked great. There may be an issue with Linux only returning LF for EOL. If so, please create a new issue for this. Should you have any issues, please let me know and I'll see if I can address them.

Not working under Mac with 0.7...

[johnhidey]

What shell does the Mac use? I'm making the assumption for this push that the shell is located at /bin/sh .. in future versions I'm going to be giving you the ability to specify the shell to use.

[johnhidey]

What version of the extension are you running? I just release v0.0.9 which is the version that addresses this bug. Hopefully you're running on v0.0.8 and need to update.
