Look for Sublime Merge inside its real bundle - #809
Merged
Conversation
The one macOS path listed was /Applications/smerge.app/Contents/MacOS/, which names neither the bundle nor the directory the command line tool is in. The bundle is "Sublime Merge.app", and smerge lives under Contents/SharedSupport/bin - MacOS holds the GUI binary. So a Mac install was never found by directory search, and resolved only for someone who had put smerge on PATH themselves. Additive: the correct path is searched first and the old one is kept, so nothing that resolves today stops resolving. Not verified against an install - no Mac here - so this rests on Sublime Merge's documented layout rather than on having watched it resolve.
