rg failing in daemon mode on Mac OS despite being on PATH

[jsperger]

Problem

Rg fails when running emacs as a daemon on Mac despite the rg binary being in the environment PATH. I think there might be an issue with 'rg-find-executable' because it returns nil, but rg works fine in eshell launched from a daemon:

Welcome to the Emacs shell

~/.emacs.d/etc/scratch $ which rg
/opt/homebrew/bin/rg

Config Solution

Configuring the executable path directly works

(use-package rg
  :config
  (when (and IS-MAC (daemonp))
    (setopt rg-executable "/opt/homebrew/bin/rg"))
  )
