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

[Michael Stucki]

The fix by @dolphytr works, but it's still incomplete. It helps to bring
back apps to the menu, but they still can't be run from the command
line. For this to work, I had to apply the commands from #18 plus add
these two lines to my $HOME/.zshrc:

# Fix environment for Wayland + zsh + snapd
source /etc/profile.d/apps-bin-path.sh

As these are just workarounds, the root of the problem seems to be
somewhere else:

The script in /etc/profile.d/apps-bin-path.sh takes care of all the
neccessary changes. It is sourced when starting an X11 session but not
when starting a Wayland session (at least not in combination with zsh).

I suggest to reopen this ticket until that's solved.

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
