Used Path variable

Used Path variable

If I open a windows command shell via easyshell, the shell does not use the configured system "Path" environment variable ... in opposite if I open a command shell outside eclipse.

What can I do to change this?

• Plugin version: 2.1.0.v20170508-1844
• Eclipse Version: Oxygen.2 Release (4.7.2) Build id: 20171218-0600
• Java Version: jdk1.8.0_151
• Operating System Version: Windows10

I'm sure it must work, because i'm using it daily. Please call in your opened command shell:
echo %PATH%
and check if it shows same pathes from your system "Path" environment variable.

I had done this and I would also expect that it's works ... I had never this problem in the past until last week and I use easyshell since years. At the moment I assume that this is an OS or eclipse problem.

However the problem disappears yesterday and I had it again today. But after a restart of eclipse the problem had gone again. So I hope this was a local issue on my PC.

Thanks for the feedback! I've looked in the code and see that i'm using "ProcessBuilder" here and do not touch the environment (commented out). As expected from description it just passes the environment from Eclipse process (initial value), so Path etc. should be good:

an environment, which is a system-dependent mapping from variables to values. The initial value is a copy of the environment of the current process (see System.getenv()).

I think it can be OS, Eclipse process or Java process... hm...

Code:

    	// get working directory
    	File workingDirectory = getWorkingDirectoryResolved(variableManager);
        // get command    	
        String[] command = getCommandResolved(variableManager);
        // create process builder with command and ...
        ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder(command);
        // ... set working directory and redirect error stream
        if (workingDirectory != null) {
            pb.directory(workingDirectory);
        }
        Activator.logDebug("exc:<---");
        // get passed system environment
        //Map<String, String> env = pb.environment();
        // add own variables
        pb.start();

Close this one, because it looks like OS or Eclipse issue. Please reopen if it's still reproducible. Thanks!
