Binary on Ubuntu 16.04 about effekt HOT 7 OPEN

I could also reproduce the bug on a fresh 18.04 VM:

$ effekt
/usr/bin/env: 'java -jar': No such file or directory

from effekt.

As a workaround, one can of course run java -jar /usr/local/bin/effekt, but this is not satisfactory. However, getting vscode on Ubuntu to work is a bit more tricky since adjusting the path in the settings will not work for reasons similar to the ones described above.

A more reliable workaround is the following:

Create a script effekt.sh with the following contents:

#!/bin/bash
java -jar /usr/bin/local/effekt $@

and make it executable. Put this script in your PATH and use effekt.sh instead of effekt. This also works for VSCode:

• Enter settings
• navigate to Effekt / path to executable
• enter effekt.sh (or the absolute path to the script) there

This solution also interacts well with updating the effekt package. Since the script only forwards to effekt, updating it under the hood just works.

As a workaround I added the script to the distribution (87a4b0) and link it as effekt.sh. So linux users for now need to call effekt.sh instead of effekt. Also VSCode can now be configured to point to effekt.sh if effekt does not work.

This needs to be documented on the website.

So why not just pass -S to env to make it recognize the multiple arguments?

This -S flag breaks on windows :(
