Binary named 'nim' not found in PATH environment variable, even when nim exists in PATH #35

This extension suffers from the same problem as https://github.com/saem/vscode-nim/issues/136.

I have nim and nimlangserver downloaded and placed somewhere in ~/Documents. Symlinks to those executables are then placed in ~/.local/share/bin, which exists in PATH.

/home/mikolaj/.local/share/bin/ is added to the path in $HOME/.zshrc; which would normally not be visible to programs launched from a DE. However, VS Code sources .zshrc so this should not be a problem. Other extensions happily work which this configuration - my .zshrc also sets GOPATH, which is automatically picked up by the official Go extension.

Some part of this extension must incorrectly inherit the environment from VS Code.

vscode tries to source the zshrc, but you shoul have a look at vscode.process in developer tools, to verify that the PATH var is correctly loaded. if not then there is a problem with vscode. do you have the same problem if you start code from a terminal with code .?
