system PATH overriding path set in init.bat

[isimmons]

I'm trying to make sure the 'find' command is using the unix one from msysgit. I think the problem is the system path variable is overriding whatever I set in init.bat.

Or I may be doing this wrong.

relevant section in init.bat

:: Enhance Path

@set git_cmd=%rootDir%\vendor\msysgit\cmd
@set git_bin=%rootDir%\vendor\msysgit\bin
@set git_vim=%rootDir%\vendor\share\vim\vim73
:: Add Gnuwin32 for some missing commands
@set gnuwin32_bin=%rootDir%\vendor\GnuWin32\bin
@set zip_bin=%rootDir%\vendor\7zip\App\7-Zip
@set PATH=%rootDir%\bin;%git_cmd%;%git_bin%;%zip_bin%;%gnuwin32_bin%;%PATH%

My thinking is that placing paths in this order will control which executable is used by letting the system use the first one it finds. When I echo %path% it is definitely placing these paths before the default system paths but it still doesn't recognize the find.exe from msysgit and uses the one in system32 instead.

Got it worked out. First I upgraded to the latest version because I noticed some differences in the init.bat file but I don't think that was the problem.

I noticed echoing path that 7zip and gnuwin32 were getting the numbers cut off but I think that's because numbers in variable names don't work. They're fine in the path a variable points to, just not in the variable name it's self.

Here is my new setup which is working fine. I did have to move %PATH% to the end though so windows 'find' would not be used.

@set gnuwin_bin=%CMDER_ROOT%\vendor\GnuWin32\bin
@set git_install_root=%CMDER_ROOT%\vendor\msysgit
@set PATH=%CMDER_ROOT%\bin;%git_install_root%\bin;%git_install_root%\mingw\bin;%git_install_root%\cmd;%git_install_root%\share\vim\vim73;%zip_bin%;%gnuwin_bin%;%PATH%;
