Error: spawn crystal ENOENT

[Sija]

It happens with latest atom-crystal on OS X El Capitan.

'crystal' could not be spawned. Is it installed and on your path? If so please open an issue on the package spawning the process.

Crystal executable is in my $PATH, installed via homebrew.

~ ❯ which crystal
/usr/local/bin/crystal

Seems connected to steelbrain/linter#726.

OSX eh, it has a PATH issue that we work around, it only works for the popular shells though. Which one do you use?

[Sija]

Yap, OSX indeed. I use ZSH.

[steelbrain]

So the PATH detection is failing, can you open the dev console (View -> Developer Tools -> Console) and execute this and send a screenshot of what you get (also make sure to black out anything sensitive)?

const os = require('os')
console.log(require(os.homedir() + '/.atom/packages/linter-crystal/node_modules/consistent-env')().PATH)

Aaha! linter-crystal doesn't use atom-linter anymore as of crystal-lang-tools/linter-crystal@3b132e7 (otherwise you won't be getting this error as we work it around)

You could ping the author and ask them to use this module so you can use it on your Mac without doing some PATH vodoo magic 😄
