linter: $PATH is not available on OSX when not launched from CLI

Ideas people? I had thought of parsing ~/.bashrc or similar of users to extract the values ourselves but that doesn’t seem like the best solution.

Latest version here, using El Capitan and ZSH. Having this issue with a few linters. Adding the following to my init seems to the trick.

exec = require('child_process').exec
exec('source ~/.zshrc')

childProcess = require('child_process')
process.env.PATH = childProcess.execFileSync(process.env.SHELL, ['-i', '-c', 'echo $PATH']).toString().trim()
