Hi there, I'm trying to set up a trigger to launch a new emacsclient frame (window) if there isn't one already, but I'm struggling to figure out why Task.run('/bin/sh', ['-c', 'emacsclient -nc -a ""']) isn't working...

Any ideas or tips for troubleshooting this sort of thing?

Thanks!

Phoenix does not inherit your $PATH from the shell, so it may simply not find it. Try giving the full path to emacsclient, e.g. /usr/bin/emacsclient.

That was exactly my problem 🤦🏻‍♂️

Thank you!
