NewContentEditor option doesn't accept arguments for editor

[lamyseba]

What version of Hugo are you using (hugo version)?

$ hugo version
hugo v0.89.4+extended linux/amd64 BuildDate=unknown

Does this issue reproduce with the latest release?

I suppose

Some editors can be lauched with command line options. Eg Kate editor has a -s option to open file within a chosen session.
If I put

newContentEditor: "kate -s mySessionName"

in my config.yml file, I get an error

Error: exec: "kate -s mySessionName": executable file not found in $PATH

Removing the -s mySessionName options makes things work as expected.
Searching about this problem, I found it should be solved since v0.77 in d48a98c, but I'm still getting the problem. Is there a regression?

Run which kate in your CLI, then add the proper path to kate into your configuration. Something like /usr/bin/kate probably. You can never assume that anything is using the same paths that you have configured in your terminal session.

Thanks @davidsneighbour for your answer. That is not the solution. Kate is in /usr/bin, and I already tried to put

newContentEditor: "/usr/bin/kate -s mySessionName"

and this gives me

Error: exec: "/usr/bin/kate -s pauavelo.fr": stat /usr/bin/kate -s mySessionName: no such file or directory

And, as I said previously, just writing

newContentEditor: kate 

works fine, without arguments and without full path. So the path is found. The problem are the arguments.

Is there a regression?

Yes, introduced with 9185e11.
