ide-python starts rogue bash process

[pashadia]

Whenever I start atom (or whenever I enable ide-python in settings), there's a bash process that gets spawned. It clogs the CPU and it cannot be ended with SIGTERM, only SIGKILL.

The command, as shown in ps is /bin/bash -ilc env; exit

You might want to try Atom 1.21.0-beta2

In the blog post the Atom team mentions:

We strongly recommended you use Atom Beta 1.21 as it includes the necessary file monitoring and process control to ensure the underlying language servers are running properly.

I have the same issue with Atom 1.21.0-beta2 and Atom 1.21.0 (not beta)
I have Ubuntu 16.04 LTS on my machine.
Looks like it hangs on line number 32.

 async startServerProcess(projectPath) {
    const env = await shellEnv();  // <--
    const childProcess = cp.spawn(atom.config.get("ide-python.pylsPath"), {
      cwd: projectPath,
      env: env
    });

I commented out a couple of lines and now everything works well for me.

 async startServerProcess(projectPath) {
    // const env = await shellEnv();
    const childProcess = cp.spawn(atom.config.get("ide-python.pylsPath"), {
      cwd: projectPath,
      // env: env
    });

I'm not sure if this would work for other platforms.

@culhatsker solution worked for me. I'm using Mint 16.

Thanks a lot for investigating!

shell-env was added to fix #4 (this may be only a problem on macOS though).

I think we should see if there's a better solution for this.

Fixed in ide-python@0.2.2

Thanks @kbrose for helping debug.
