Problem running difftool #14

Closed niallobrien closed 9 years ago

I get this error: Command error: ksdiff "/Users/niall/test" "/Users/niall/.atom/local-history/Users/niall/Documents/2015-02-26_10-38-38 PM_test"

Error details: Error: Command failed: /bin/sh -c cd /Users/niall && ksdiff "/Users/niall/test" "/Users/niall/.atom/local-history/Users/niall/Documents/2015-02-26_10-38-38 PM_test" /bin/sh: ksdiff: command not found

However, if I run /bin/sh -c cd /Users/niall && ksdiff "/Users/niall/test" "/Users/niall/.atom/local-history/Users/niall/Documents/2015-02-26_10-38-38 PM_test" from the command line, it works fine.

This may be related to the configuration of your environment (process env path). Try with the absolute path of the command ksdiff, example: /usr/local/bin/ksdiff (of course with the right path).

For info, the command is executed with require("child_process").exec.

It seems that others have encountered a similar error with Atom: https://discuss.atom.io/t/how-to-execute-node-js-child-process-from-package/4880/8

@Nicolab Awesome, thanks for that. which ksdiff revealed my path and I followed your advice - works perfectly. :)

I still miss the local history view from Webstorm though.
