dcd-server not detected in OS X #1

Closed dzaragoza closed 8 years ago

dzaragoza commented 8 years ago

I get this error when using this package in atom:

'dcd-server' could not be spawned. Is it installed and on your path? If so please open an issue on the package spawning the process.

I checked:

dcd-server is on PATH: Message appears.
Manually started dcd-server: Message appears.

What could be missing?

Regards

I don't know much about Mac OS X and just hoped it would work just like on linux... I created a branch named bug-1 which logs the actual error in Atom's console. Could you switch branches in your local Atom package directory or replace autocomplete-dcd/lib/dcd-provider.coffee with the one from the bug-1 branch ? Then perhaps there will be a more helpful error message logged in Atom's console.

EDIT : does the error happen when you enable the package ? Or only when opening a second Atom window for example ?

I found the problem. Atom in OS X has problems with PATH in applications launched from the GUI. Launching atom from the terminal solves the problem. See https://github.com/atom-community/linter/issues/150 for more details.

autocomplete-dcd works without problem.

@dzaragoza Have you seen the environment package ? It looks like it could fix this problem with OS X.
