"hledger":executable file not found in $PATH when syncing on Mac

[gitting]

Describe your Environment OS: Mac Sonoma intel Paisa Version: 0.5.3 App Variant: Desktop Locale: en-US

Describe the bug Opening paisa via spotlight fails to sync for a hledger configuration.

To Reproduce

• ensure hledger is installed and works against the hledger journal
• verify echo $PATH | grep -i ledger shows no output, that is, hledger is not in the path
• ensure which hledger finds it
• install desktop paisa on mac according to installation instructions
• launch it for the first time according to Mac requirements per instructions to clear the security
• now quit it
• now open it via Spotlight
• modify configuration (this can be done manually in ~/Documents/paisa/paisa.yaml)
  • point to your hledger journal
  • set ledger_cli to hledger
• click Sync Journal in upper righthand corner dropdown menu
• observe error dialog box describing failure exec: "hledger":executable file not found in $PATH

Expected behavior Sync succeeds since hledger can be reached via which.

@gitting this issue and the @@ issue are fixed on master. I am not able to reproduce the UTF-8 error you were getting. Could you open an issue for that with a sample transaction? I tried to add utf-8 chars ;; ß ä ö ü Ä Ö Ü and tested it on my mac, and it seems to work. The error itself comes from hledger, but this is likely because the LC_* env variables are not set correctly when started outside of terminal.
