A common issue with GUI Emacs on MacOS is that it launches in an environment independent of your shell configuration, including your PATH and any other utilities like rbenv, rvm or virtualenv. This patch fixes this by patching Emacs.app (in /Applications or ~/Applications). It will: 1. Move Contents/MacOS/Emacs to Contents/MacOS/RunEmacs 2. And replace Contents/MacOS/Emacs with the following wrapper script: #!/user/bin/env bash args=\"$@\" pwd=\"$(cd \"$(dirname \"${BASH_SOURCE[0]}\")\"; pwd -P)\" exec \"$SHELL\" -l -c \"$pwd/RunEmacs $args\" This ensures that Emacs is always aware of your shell environment, regardless of how it is launched. It can be undone with the --undo or -u options. Alternatively, you can install the exec-path-from-shell Emacs plugin, which will scrape your shell environment remotely, at startup. However, this can be slow depending on your shell configuration and isn't always reliable." :hidden t (doom-patch-macos (or (member "--undo" args) (member "-u" args)) (doom--find-emacsapp-path))) ;; ;; Library (defun doom--find-emacsapp-path () (or (getenv "EMACS_APP_PATH") (cl-loop for dir in (list "/usr/local/opt/emacs" "/usr/local/opt/emacs-plus" "/Applications" "~/Applications") for appdir = (concat dir "/Emacs.app") if (file-directory-p appdir) return appdir) (user-error "Couldn't find Emacs.app"))) (defun doom-patch-macos (undo-p appdir) "Patches Emacs.app to respect your shell environment."
