Note: the same Error/Warning appears for the Open Folder in Alacritty command as well.

Also, any reason the shell opened is not a login one?

I have also problems with these actions. In my case it says it can't execute fzf in my .zshrc which works fine when not Alacritty isn't spawned by this extension.

I have also problems with these actions. In my case it says it can't execute fzf in my .zshrc which works fine when not Alacritty isn't spawned by this extension.

iirc this is due to the shell spawned being a non-login interactive one, so it doesn't source your .zprofile in which a setup for fzf and others is located. Try moving that setup (probably some evals) to .zshrc or in .zshrc make sure you source .zprofile.

I am affected by the same bug. Both ~/.zshrc and ~/.zprofile are sourced anbd have this line:

export EDITOR="/opt/homebrew/bin/nvim"

I mentioned this in another issue, but I'm afraid that I'm no longer using Alacritty and so will not be able to work on this myself but am happy to provide guidance if needed for anyone who wants to put in a fix.

I recall that there was some reason why I couldn't just use a login shell (Alacritty isn't a great macOS citizen) but it might be worth looking into, since that seems like it would solve this issue.
