unable to execute bundle exec rubocop and reek, but the same commands work in terminal

[Juraci]

Your environment

• vscode-ruby version: v0.28.0
• Ruby version: 2.7.5p203 (2021-11-24 revision f69aeb8314) [x86_64-linux]
• Ruby version manager (if any): rvm
• VS Code version: 1.66.2
• Operating System: Arch Linux
• Using language server? (eg useLanguageServer is true in your configuration?): yes

Expected behavior

this should work from inside the editor

Lint: executing bundle exec rubocop -s '/home/juraci/personal/wy-cash-tdd/lib/money.rb' -f json...
Lint: executing bundle exec reek -f json --stdin-filename '/home/juraci/personal/wy-cash-tdd/lib/money.rb'

Actual behavior

Lint: unable to execute bundle exec rubocop -s '/home/juraci/personal/wy-cash-tdd/lib/money.rb' -f json as the command could not be found
Lint: unable to execute bundle exec reek -f json --stdin-filename '/home/juraci/personal/wy-cash-tdd/lib/money.rb' as the command could not be found

Executing the same commands manually in the terminal against the same file does work: rubocop

reek

my settings file:

Update, I think I figured it out. The way you start vs-code matters, at least in my case.

Starting vs-code from a launcher like dmenu or rofi by typing code causes the problems described in my issue.

If I instead open vs-code in the terminal by:

1. cd to the project directory cd /home/juraci/personal/wy-cash-tdd
2. then in the terminal I run code . (to open vscode with the current project)

Then vscode-ruby work as expected with rubocop higllights and reek suggestions.

Looks like vs-code inherits the environment where it was initiated, so launching the vs-code process from the terminal with the login shell it "just works". Launching from dmenu or rofi it doesn't.

It could be related to the shell that is used to run subprocesses. I recently stumbled upon a similar issue in https://github.com/castwide/vscode-solargraph/issues/238 , where it uses the system default shell (zsh) to run subprocesses, but the setup for my Ruby environment is in the init files of bash (because that’s the shell I use personally). And, as mentioned in the original issue, starting VSCode from the terminal makes it work, because then it inherits ENV["SHELL"] which is set to bash.
