/bin/sh: duplicity: command not found

[fbbu]

On Mac OS, I have duplicity in my $PATH (/opt/local/bin) and I'm able to launch it from the shell.

When I try to do anything with vuplicity I get a message stating that it doesn't find duplicity:

Refreshing status...

/bin/sh: duplicity: command not found

A Duplicity error occurred.

Am I doing anything wrong ?

I think there's a problem with the user who is running the application (on Mac OS at least).
I did a symbolic link to put duplicity in /usr/local/bin and now vuplicity finds the executable duplicity.
But, the rsync command which works in the shell doesn't work with vuplicity, I think it's because the application is not run under the correct user (which may also explain the $PATH issue).

Maybe related to the same problem as here:
electron/electron#550

Hi,
thanks for your feedback!

You are true, it looks like Electron has a problem on OSX to get the right $PATH.

@sindresorhus' fix-path package seems to fix this, I will try to use it.

(I did not have a lot a free time lately, feel free to try this and submit a pull request if you want to !)

Thank you for the confirmation.
I did install npm and ran the following command:
npm install --save fix-path
This doesn't change anything, is there anything to add to the vuplicity code (I'm unfortunately not familiar with npm not Electron) ?
Also, it really seems that the vuplicity app is ran as "root" user and not my user, thus duplicit doesn't work as expected since my ssh config is not done for "root".
