Relevant information: How to set PATH for Finder-launched applications


I had seen that link before I posted but I could not to digest. That's why I posted here. It is not about setting the PATH. It is about getting the PATH. We are not going to ask every theide user to set "sudo launchctl config user path", aren't we? Moreover, the PATH is set. I can get it on terminal with 'echo $PATH' without problems. The questions is - how to get it programatically with upp the right way. getenv used inside ide is the wrong way.
P.S. for some reasons this doesn't work:
String path = Sys("echo $PATH");

//gives path="$PATH";

echo is excluded...

It was supposed to be a hint.
Macos doesn't seem to run a login shell when you log into an account. This is why PATH is not set.
If you check Macos Terminal settings you'll find "on launch" setting. By default it runs a login shell.
Basically, you log into system each time you launch a terminal Smile

Related info:
man opendirectoryd
     Open Directory forms the foundation of how Mac OS X accesses all authoritative configuration information
     (users, groups, mounts, managed desktop data, etc.).  This allows use of virtually any directory system
     via Apple and third party modules.

PATH shouldn't be used with Macos GUI apps, IMHO.
