I'm very well aware how much of a pain these things can get (though most of the times I'd tend to think it's the users making bad things in their .profiles, but still, it's to the system to adapt to the user and not the other way around).
But here we want to protect users from bad things they may have put in their shells, and also avoid running code that is only meant to be executed when logging in. I agree that having to set up the PATH is slightly annoying, but it's something that only needs to be done once. And probably it will be made easier in the future…
I think I didn't express myself very well, but we're basically saying the same thing (TextMate should work no matter what exotic things one might have done in his shell).
I would suggest however that at some point that gets clearly stated, as it's quite disturbing to face that weird output.
Yes, the command should be made to show a more friendly error when it can't find the correct path — but remember you are using prerelease code so this kind of thing should be expected from time to time.
Sure I'm aware of that :) Just gave my 2 cents, as people say.
Thanks for catching the bug, btw. :)
I wasn't the one who actually caught the bug, though I'm happy I faced it at the same time someone else did (I think the OP was Niels Kobschaetzki).
