I've been avoiding el capitan so far, but on my system, /etc/paths contains
the bare minimum paths. /etc/profile adds /opt/local/bin and
/opt/local/sbin, then ~/.bash_profile tacks on a few more (like the path to
mysql and inferno, plus some adjustments made by macports (which appear to
be duplica
But on El Capitan you don't have a .bash_profile or .profile by default I
think? And put shell ("echo $PATH") does not fetch the users shell? Any
suggestions?

Ah, I see. And thank you! I now have a plugin that does a shell (source
blah blah echo $PATH) so that I always have my full terminal path available
to lc shell. No extra/custom paths added yet, but it'll be nice to always
have the full path so I don't have to mess with absolute pathing (or

You are right, of course. For one's own machine this is the
simplest. One could even vice versa write a full (temporary)
shell-profile before using shell.
But if you wish to know if a user ha
Try this:
set the shellcommand to "/bin/bash"
get shell("source ~/.bash_profile ; ")
This should do all the environment setting that is done when you open a
terminal so that hopefully paths will match.
To check it out, first echo $PATH without sourcing the .bash_profile and
you'll most likely g
Yes - the way i see this is a combination of tools that help, and manual.
So we have some scripts which check common places and find / suggest things
to add. Then we have the ability to customise and add our own by hand. We
save these to a preference file, and load them when we start Livecode. Tha

Yes - here is the handler you need:

Yes - I think a 'login' type shell option would help here. (Which, if I recall
correctly, causes the standard terminal setup scripts to run).
The reason the action of shell is to not use a login shell is because otherwise
env vars you might want to pass to your new process might get clobbered by
LiveCode will inherit the path env variable given to it by the environment
which launched it.
If you have access to exes from Terminal in something like /usr/local/bin but
not from apps launched from the desktop then this suggests the local bin path
is only configured in your bashrc rather than
It's sadly a big "not". I've never seen anything else than
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
in LC's $PATH at startup.
But the $PATH of *any* shell on 10.11.x (SIP enabled)
contains /usr/local/bin [because SIP doesn't allow to
install in /usr/bin].
Everybody could use Warren's comparison from above
@ Warren: Bingo:
# in terminal:
$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
# from LC
put shell ("echo $PATH")
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
# checking which

/usr/local/bin/node

Compare what you get when you run 'echo $PATH' in a terminal to what you
get when you run it in LiveCode using shell(). Make sure the directory
