[Feature]: Custom widget commands should read RC files

[JameInw]

Current Behavior

I tried writing Custom Widgets that are CLI Widgets

"WakeOnLan-XXXXX": {
    "icon": "power-off",
    "label": "WoL-HA",
    "color": "#F72C5B",
    "blockdef": {
      "meta": {
        "view": "term",
        "controller": "cmd",
        "cmd": "wakeonlan FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF",
        "cmd:closeonexit" : 0
      }
    }
  }

But when I tried it, the result was

zsh:1: command not found: wakeonlan process finished with exit code = 127

Even though I tried the command myself, it worked. Note: I tested it on Macbook Air M2

Expected Behavior

I hope it will work in the future.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Macbook Air M2
2. Use ZSH
3. Use Script

"WakeOnLan-XXXX": {
    "icon": "power-off",
    "label": "WoL",
    "color": "#F72C5B",
    "blockdef": {
      "meta": {
        "view": "term",
        "controller": "cmd",
        "cmd": "wakeonlan",
        "cmd:closeonexit" : 0
      }
    }
  }

To confirm, is ZSH your primary shell? Is this a custom script you've written or something you've installed?

[esimkowitz]

Ah ok we run custom widgets in the login shell to reduce overhead. This likely doesn't have your RC files loaded. As a workaround can you try the following:

source ~/.zshrc && wakeonlan

Yes, I mainly use ZSH shell, and yes, this is a script I wrote myself.

I was using the source ~/.zshrc command before using wavetrem.

[esimkowitz]

You shouldn't need to do that, we source it for the terminal blocks, we don't for the command widget config though

Hi everyone, I have the same behavior. I already tried to run "source ~/.zshrc && custom command" but it doesn't work. (command not found) At this point I paste the full path of the binary I want to start, but the binary runs another one and waveterm says not found.

I'm on macOS with zsh.
