Add an FYI that command block execution is quite broken if installed via snap
Author: sidjuCreated Sep 4, 2024Updated Nov 19, 2024
Describe the bug When executing through snap the user's PATH variable is ignored, causing per-user applications to be inaccessible when executing command blocks and probably causing unexpected versions to be used of some tools.
This isn't in itself a bug, but imo. the absence of documentation to this fact is.
To Reproduce
Create a markdown document with a codeblock as follows:
bash env | grep PATH
The PATHs printed contains only standard system paths and snap's overrides, no user specific additions or changes.
Expected behavior This should be clearly informed as a caveat to installing with Snap and as a gotcha where codeblock execution is described.
