Can't find commands when running custom command in Terminal

[cassidyjames]

I'm trying to use the custom command to serve a jekyll site; however, it seems like I can't use any apps or commands from that context; maybe I'm misunderstanding how this should be used?

But for example, if I use a custom command of cd ~/Projects/elementary/blog; bundle exec jekyll serve I get a bunch of issues:

• First of all, I get Failed to execute child process “cd” (No such file or directory) which is unexpected.

• If I try to just run bundle exec jekyll serve on its own (while testing things), I similarly get Failed to execute child process “bundle” (No such file or directory).

• If I point to the exact path of bundle, e.g. /home/cassidyjames/.gems/bin/bundle exec jekyll serve, I get an exception that the gem can't be found (which is not the case when running the exact same command from Terminal).

Am I using this custom command wrong? How would you recommend someone do something like serve a jekyll site with Workspaces?

Using Workspaces 3.1.0 from AppCenter.

The custom command was thought for something simple app + flags etc like screenshot -c -x or whatever. But you are already thew second person asking for a more complex thing.

For what you want to do we baiscally need to set a directory where to launch a command. (we could do this workspace wise?)

Then there should be a way to load your .bashrc file I guess for aliases and everything.

What I suggest you for the moment is create an alias on your bashrc file to execute that command. Then in your custom command you can type something like this: bash -i -c 'my-alias'

Hi @DevAlien , Issue is that simple commands are not working either. cd /home is not a complex command, and yet it fails with Failed to execute child process “cd” (No such file or directory) Am I missing something?

Thanks
