Description

  • I am on the latest Hyper.app version
  • I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate
  • OS version and name: Windows 7 64bit
  • Hyper.app version: v 1.3.1

Issue

I updated the PATH environment variable and restarted hyper. The changes are not picked up. echo %path% shows the old value. If I launch a command prompt, I do see the changes. I'm using the default windows command prompt shell.

Research direction

Reproduce on Windows 7 with Hyper v1.3.1 by changing PATH, restarting Hyper, and running the default Windows command prompt shell. Compare its environment with a separately launched command prompt, then verify that Hyper sees the updated PATH after the fix.
