Re: How to let tramp be aware the virtualenv?

[Zhongwei Yao]

Hi, Bruno,
I tried your suggestion again. And changed it to:
     RequestTTy force
     RemoteCommand bash -c 'export PATH=mypath:$PATH; export FOO=bar; bash
-l'
And if use "env" as my compile command, it prints:
  FOO=bar
  PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin

But if I ssh to that machine directly in the terminal(out side of emacs)
and type "env", I got:
  FOO=bar
  PATH=mypath:/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin

Emacs reset the PATH at somewhere and it leads to can't find the python in
the virtual-env!

And my environment is Emacs 26.1 on mac and tramp-version 2.3.3.26.1. I
test this by emacs -Q and also remove remote machine's .bashrc.

I also tried Michael's 'explicit-bash-args . ("-i" "-l")', and run "M-x
compile" and get a similar result: I can set other ENV variable (like FOO)
but can not set the PATH variable.

I have not found where emacs sets (reset) the PATH yet.
