bug: can't find d2 executable

[jcayzac]

• The extension expects d2 to live in the system path, not the user path.
• It doesn't support GOPATH either.
• Environment variables are not supported in the D2.execPath setting so passing $GOPATH/bin/d2 there doesn't work either.

I have d2 in my user path, but I cannot use this extension.

same here.

Does it work if you set the d2 path in the settings to (as in the example above): "/Users/julien.cayzac/.go/bin/d2". The logic is pretty simple, it takes that string from the settings and tries to execute it.

Yes this is working. I wounder why d2 is not found on the system path.

I think we should use D2 WEB API calls by default instead of having to install d2 locally!

My impression is this does not work because (sigh) the VSCode Extension search for D2 binary in the working directory, not in the actual path or system PATH.

i plan to release a d2 wasm/js package which will replace the need for an installed binary
