Textadept 10.2 renamed spawn() to os.spawn() and broke textredux.ctags

"Renamed spawn() to os.spawn()."

I changed ctags.lua to user os.spawn and it's working.

Another question.... I'm using OSX and installed ctags with: brew install ctags I have a key binded to textredux.ctags.goto_symbol and it's works nicely IF I launch textadpet in the terminal with "ta" or with /Applications/Textadept.app/Contents/MacOS/textadept_osx but don't work (no message presented) when I launch clicking in the Textadept.app icon. Any clue about this ?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the heads-up! This should be fixed in master.

As for the PATH issue, this is a problem on Mac, see e.g. here https://superuser.com/questions/476752/setting-environment-variables-in-os-x-for-gui-applications#541068

When you put os.getenv("PATH") in the command entry you will likely also get: /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

One could change the LSEnvironment for Textadept, but any additional path not included would not be picked up either, still leaving user confused. [Edited] There have been some discussions in the past on the mailing list and other Mac editors have come up with different solutions, for Textadept a shell script ~/.textadept/osx_env.sh will be sourced where you can set PATH used for Textadept:

https://foicica.com/textadept/manual.html#Mac.OSX.Environment.Variables

I think you would have to do something like

export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin 

Maybe you could also try sourcing a file that you share with your other shell path setup to avoid duplication.

An alternative workaround is to set the path to ctags explicitly:

local textredux = require("textredux")
textredux.hijack()
textredux.ctags.CTAGS = '/usr/local/bin/ctags --sort=yes --fields=+K-f'
keys.cg = textredux.ctags.goto_symbol

Thank you very much ! It worked great!
