You can use the locate_exec_on_path function present in our os_utils.py python package for that purpose. It will work from your Python plugin if the executable you are looking for is present in your PATH before launching GNAT Studio.
Regards,
I'm writing a Gnat Studio plugin and I need to locate another executable. I'm using Python's shell utilities to issue a which command returns none. It works from my OS terminal and from Gnat Studio's terminal window.
I found the reason, but don't have a solution. When I peek into the interpreter's environment variables, some of my PATH directories I exported in my .zsh file are not included. I tried to restart Gnat Studio without success. It's unclear how the Python interpreter reads the PATH.
