bug: emacs load-path not preserved by async export #3442

Open AlexD97 opened 1 year ago

AlexD97 commented 1 year ago

Are you following the right branch?

Is there an existing issue for this?

Issue description

I install my emacs packages with extraPackages. The problem is that when I export something asynchronously in org-mode I get an error that package XY is not found. I think that the underlying problem is that the packages are not in load-path. The load-path is constructed with the shell script for starting emacs which is not used when emacs is started asynchronously. What is the best way to include the packages also for async emacs?

This is also an issue when emacs is started with services.emacs.enable = true;. Packages added in programs.emacs.extraPackages are not available to the emacs server process.
