Can't find commands when running custom command in Terminal #42
Description
I'm trying to use the custom command to serve a jekyll site; however, it seems like I can't use any apps or commands from that context; maybe I'm misunderstanding how this should be used?
But for example, if I use a custom command of cd ~/Projects/elementary/blog; bundle exec jekyll serve I get a bunch of issues:
-
First of all, I get
Failed to execute child process “cd” (No such file or directory)which is unexpected. -
If I try to just run
bundle exec jekyll serveon its own (while testing things), I similarly getFailed to execute child process “bundle” (No such file or directory). -
If I point to the exact path of bundle, e.g.
/home/cassidyjames/.gems/bin/bundle exec jekyll serve, I get an exception that the gem can't be found (which is not the case when running the exact same command from Terminal).
Am I using this custom command wrong? How would you recommend someone do something like serve a jekyll site with Workspaces?
Using Workspaces 3.1.0 from AppCenter.

The custom command was thought for something simple app + flags etc like
screenshot -c -xor whatever.But you are already thew second person asking for a more complex thing.
For what you want to do we baiscally need to set a directory where to launch a command. (we could do this workspace wise?)
Then there should be a way to load your .bashrc file I guess for aliases and everything.
What I suggest you for the moment is create an alias on your bashrc file to execute that command.
Then in your custom command you can type something like this:
bash -i -c 'my-alias'it-s commentedon Sep 27, 2020
Hi @DevAlien ,
Issue is that simple commands are not working either.
cd /homeis not a complex command, and yet it fails withFailed to execute child process “cd” (No such file or directory)Am I missing something?
Thanks
