🐛 .local/bin folder missing from PATH

Description

I have noticed that my $HOME/.local/bin folder is missing from path (since recently, I am not sure about exact time when it disappeared.) When I manually source /etc/profile.d/home-local-bin.sh it works. But I didn't have to do this manually. Also other functionality in /etc/profile.d might be effected, I haven't checked.

Reproduction steps

Create $HOME/.local/bin folder if it is missing
logout/login or reboot
$HOME/.local/bin sholuld be in $PATH but it is not.

I think for that to work, we'd have to start foot as a login-shell, which caused other problems. But some things may have changed and probably we could give it another try (original issue: #721)

[dinkocar]

This is not only foot related. I have some sway bindings that call some scripts from my local bin folder (I don't use full path, just script name), and they don't work also.

[boredland]

Probably we just need to start sway from a login-shell then. Will do a little experiment.

Would you like to give manjaro-sway-settings-git a try?

[dinkocar]

My shortcuts are working, but still no local bin folder in PATH in foot.

[boredland]

Could you share your /etc/profile.d/home-local-bin.sh?

[dinkocar]

Sure, here it is:

case ":${PATH}:" in
:"$HOME/.local/bin":) ;;
*) export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH" ;;
esac

And /etc/profile.d/home-local-bin.sh is owned by filesystem 2024.01.19-1

is that posix? I did just use sh, not bash or zsh to load sway (as I didn't want to put assumptions on what people use, but perhaps we could also use $SHELL, if $SHELL -l works for all of them?)

[dinkocar]

I have no idea what that is. I have not used posix. It comes from core/filesystem package, and I guess it is installed in all Manjaro installations.

[boredland]

Well - I guess it is posix compatible. I switched to using the $SHELL-variable anyway.

Seems that service unit never came to a final conclusion regarding /etc/profile and honestly I am on the fence here, as I personally don't even use it, but I know this caused issues in that past.
