Confusing error "No such file or directory" when running a command with `current

(1/1)

TonxCruz:
Just posting here to help others. If you try to run a command with current_dir and you get an error saying "No such file or directory" it's not necessarily the dir path that doesn't exist - it may be the command itself (i. e. the command is not in PATH).

--- Code: ---Command::new("this_command_does_not_exist")
    .current_dir("some/valid/path")
    .spawn()
    .expect("command failed to run");

--- End code ---

--- Code: ---thread 'main' panicked at 'command failed to run: Os { code: 2, kind: NotFound, message: "No such file or directory" }'

--- End code ---

Should I file an issue somewhere?
