Does anyone use Spacemacs?

I used to

Recently switched to Doom Emacs

Argh okay. Getting an issue when trying to execute racket-mode

Can you run racket in terminal?

yes

Can you try https://develop.spacemacs.org/doc/FAQ.html#environment-variables-or-path-are-not-set-properly ?

That is, input SPC f e e

Do I need to include racket bin as a PATH?

Yeah, sure.

Just in case: remember to restart spacemacs after changing the path in the terminal.

Well, and also restart spacemacs after SPC f e e.

The problem is that Emacs as a GUI application doesn’t read PATH, but there are packages that will copy over settings from PATH to Emacs. Spacemacs uses this package, and it’s invoked via SPC f e e.

Thanks. I fixed it now. Deleted Racket then installed via brew so spacemacs could pick it up

Got it working now. Thanks guys. Bit easier to work with now :slightly_smiling_face:

@grierson Some discussion: https://www.racket-mode.com/#Configure

As that mentions, on macOS some people like to use the little exec-path-from-shell package to handle that issue generally.

Also you can always change the Emacs customization var racket-program to an absolute path. (I do that sometimes just b/c I juggle various versions of Racket sometimes to test things.)

This is probably more info than you wanted to know, just to run, and you already found a solution — but in case you ever need/want it, there you go. :smile:
