SweetPad Fails to Recognize Tools Installed via Homebrew

Open unSerori opened this issue 10 months ago • 4 comments

Description

I encountered two issues while trying to set up SweetPad for development. If this is intended behavior with a known solution, I would appreciate any guidance.

  1. SweetPad: Generate Build Server Config fails

    I followed the setup instructions at: https://sweetpad.hyzyla.dev/docs/autocomplete Step 1, installing xcode-build-server, was successful as shown in the log below:

Disable this behaviour by setting HOMEBREW_NO_INSTALL_CLEANUP.
Hide these hints with HOMEBREW_NO_ENV_HINTS (see `man brew`).

    However, Step 2 fails with the following error message in the UI:

    SweetPad: Generate Build Server Config -> SweetPad: xcode-build-server is not installed

  2. Fails to install tools from the TOOLS tab Even though Homebrew is installed, clicking the [SweetPad: Install tool] button for any tool in the TOOLS tab results in an error.

    Verifying brew installation:

    hoge@fuga piyo % brew --version
Homebrew 4.5.7

    Error when trying to install Homebrew via the TOOLS tab:

    * Executing task: sweetpad: Install Tool 

🚀 Executing command:
/bin/bash -c '$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)'

/bin/bash: #!/bin/bash: No such file or directory

🚫 Command returned non-zero exit code


* The terminal process failed to launch (exit code: 127). 
* Terminal will be reused by tasks, press any key to close it.

    Error when trying to install swift-format (and all other tools):

    * Executing task: sweetpad: Install Tool 

🚀 Executing command:
brew install swift-format

/bin/sh: brew: command not found

🚫 Command returned non-zeo exit code


* The terminal process failed to launch (exit code: 127). 
* Terminal will be reused by tasks, press any key to close it.

uspected Cause

Given that I can run brew commands without any issues from the VS Code integrated terminal, and based on the error messages (brew: command not found), I suspect that the execution environment for the SweetPad extension does not have the correct PATH to find brew and xcode-build-server.

Environment

VS Code Version: 1.101.0 (Universal) Commit: dfaf44141ea9deb3b4096f7cd6d24e00c147a4b1 Date: 2025-06-11T15:00:50.123Z Electron: 35.5.1 ElectronBuildId: 11727614 Chromium: 134.0.6998.205 Node.js: 22.15.1 V8: 13.4.114.21-electron.0 OS: Darwin arm64 24.5.0 SweetPad Extension Version: 0.1.66 Default Shell: "terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.osx": "zsh"

Additional Context

Please let me know if any other information is needed. I'm really looking forward to the future development of this project.

I ran the command in a regular shell and it failed I changed single quotes to double quotes and it worked.

fuga:piyo hoge$ /bin/bash -c '$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)'
/bin/bash: #!/bin/bash: No such file or directory
fuga:piyo hoge$ /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"

Would this be of any help?

I am also running into this in both VSCode and Cursor.

I have the same problem. Because of the tools in SweetPad are invoke with /bin/bash，and my terminal profile is /bin/zsh. How do I change the profile to /bin/zsh ?

Since my terminal was using zsh, I tried switching to bash with:

chsh -s /bin/bash

However, this did not resolve the error in the Install Tool—it had no effect.

Here is the error message:

 *  Executing task: sweetpad: Install Tool 

🚀 Executing command:
/bin/bash -c '$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)'

/bin/bash: #!/bin/bash: No such file or directory

🚫 Command returned non-zero exit code

As also mentioned in the issue thread, running the same command manually in the terminal causes the same error when using single quotes, but it does work when switching to double quotes.

hoge@fuga piyo % /bin/bash -c '$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)'
/bin/bash: #!/bin/bash: No such file or directory

Doesn’t this suggest a potential clue toward resolving the issue?

It seems that multiple users are experiencing the same issue.

Since this may be affecting others and could point toward a fix, I’m tagging the maintainer for visibility.
@hyzyla — would you mind taking a look when you have a moment? 🙏
