RD 1.6.0 Diagnostics

The ~/.rd/bin directory has not been added to the PATH, so command-line utilities are not configured in your bash shell.

Err - yes they are (3rd in the path list - ignore the duplicates 😉 )...

$ echo $PATH
/home/mdsh/.local/bin:/home/mdsh/bin:/home/mdsh/.rd/bin:/home/mdsh/.local/bin:/home/mdsh/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin:/snap/bin

and

$ tail -n 4 ~/.bashrc 

### MANAGED BY RANCHER DESKTOP START (DO NOT EDIT)
export PATH="/home/mdsh/.rd/bin:$PATH"
### MANAGED BY RANCHER DESKTOP END (DO NOT EDIT)

Can you press "Re-run" in the diagnostics? If that doesn't fix it, can you enable debug logging (on the Troubleshooting page), Re-run diagnostics once more, and then share the

diagnostics.log

file?

Thanks. It looks like the logging for the RDBIN diagnostics didn't make it into the release 😞

Let me figure out a way to check this manually

Thank you 🙂

Can you run this from your shell:

PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin bash -l -c 'echo $PATH'

$ PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin bash -l -c 'echo $PATH'
/home/mdsh/.local/bin:/home/mdsh/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/snap/bin

Ok, so it does not have

~/.rd/bin

in it. But if you open a new terminal window to create a new shell, it does?

sticky-summer-13450

10/07/2022, 4:21 PM

Yes.

That being a new shell

I'm sorry, I'm confusing myself again by thinking this is macOS, which handles login shells differently. What does your

~/.bash_profile

look like; does it have the

PATH

logic too?

sticky-summer-13450

I have a

~/.profile

(where I manipulate $PATH), and a

~/.bashrc

(where RD put the $PATH manipulation code) but no

~/.bash_profile

~/.profile

sources

~/.bashrc

when a BASH env var exists

fast-garage-66093

We add it to both, but maybe don't create

~/.bashrc

if it doesn't exist. The problem is that

.bashrc

is not read by a login shell, and the diagnostic always runs as a login shell.

### MANAGED BY RANCHER DESKTOP START (DO NOT EDIT)
export PATH="/home/mdsh/.rd/bin:$PATH"
### MANAGED BY RANCHER DESKTOP END (DO NOT EDIT)

That ONLY exists in

~/.bashrc

which was created by Ubuntu many years ago when this machine was first installed.

On macOS all terminal apps create shells as login shells (because they are started by launchd, so don't inherit any login environment otherwise), and I guess our tests on Linux always had a

~/.bash_profile

as well

Just as a test, could you

touch ~/.bash_profile

and re-run the diagnostics? You can delete it again afterwards

Oops, sorry, forgot one step: Go to Preferences, switch

PATH

management to "Manual", click "Apply", and then switch it back to "Automatic" (or just restart RD). Then re-run diagnostics and let me know if this one now passes

Yep - now RD has added the

MANAGED BY RANCHER DESKTOP

stanza to

~/.bash_profile

and the tests pass. But then

~/.bashrc

is not sourced, so I'd want to copy the contents of

~/.profile

into

~/.bash_profile

in order to source various files... Shells are hard 😉

Yes, we need to think through this once more; can you file an issue with the details (important ones are that you don't have a

.bash_profile

and that you are on Linux)?

Yep - I'll have to be no sooner than tomorrow, as I have to go now to drive 180 miles. Thanks 🙂

No worries, I can file one for you

I could not see an issue - so I made https://github.com/rancher-sandbox/rancher-desktop/issues/3159

Thanks you! Yes, I promised to create it for you, but then actually didn't 😞
