thanks for that, I will look into this out of curiosity do you open atom from the command line or with finder? Opening atom via finder will not take into account your environment, so things like $PATH will not exist

[alexschneider]

I use Atom on Linux, and I open it up through a launcher (similar to Finder).

Could you perhaps have have cargo be executed through a shell environment?

[nguyenchr]

Try opening it from the shell, I believe that should preserve your $PATH see https://github.com/atom/atom-shell/issues/550 for more context

I discovered a similar error where the test runner doesn't seem to kill cargo properly on an unsuccessful test, so I will look into that as well

[nguyenchr]

@alexschneider I just published v0.0.3 it will use the entire path when spawning the cargo process if it exists, it will also print the path in the context information to debug whether it is a problem with the path

I think you will still need to open atom from the shell please give this a try and let me know how you go

[nguyenchr]

@alexschneider did this end up fixing your problem?

[alexschneider]

Sorry, yes.
