[Bug 1640514] Re: /snap/bin is not added to the PATH when using zsh

[Anders Sveen]

This is still manifested on Ubuntu 17.10.

After some digging it seems later versions of Systemd supports a
/etc/environment.d which works regardless of Bash/ZSH/Other shell. To me
it seems any solution should use it.

I have posted a temp fix (also fixing desktop search) using
environment.d for your user here: https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/desktop-

beta/2340/14

Title:
  /snap/bin is not added to the PATH when using zsh

Status in Snappy:
  New
Status in snapd package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in zsh package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  --- Environment ---
  Ubuntu Zesty 17.04 (dev)
  zsh
  snapd 2.16

  --- Description ---
  zsh does not seem to load the scripts in /etc/profile.d/ (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=88457 ).
  As a consequence, /snap/bin is not added to PATH, and running snaps from terminal (without snap run) does not work

  --- How to reproduce ---
  1) Install zsh
  2) try running apps provided by snaps from the shell, without using snap run
