Lauching Trakkr with `processes` doesn't launch it

[jiriks74]

Describe the bug/error
I've set to processes to be started with the game:

...
  "processes": [
    {
      "fileName": "EDMarketConnector"
    },
    {
      "fileName": "Trakkr"
    }
  ],
...

EDMarketConnector does start but Trakkr does not. Using the command provided for Trakkr does start it:

Trakkr is an electron app with a splash screen at startup.
Here's the project: https://github.com/skybreakdigital/trakkr-app
I've created a working Linux package and the binary is in the system's PATH just as EDMarketConnector is.

Do you notice if the the process starts and then quits immediately or does the process never start to begin with?

Sorry for the late response.

I am not sure honestly, nothing pops up that that would indicate so.

I'll probably do something like running ps in a loop and outputing to a log file to find out whether a process existed at some time.

[Remanent]

you need to have the full path to the program / script

/path/to/your/thisismyprogram

simply putting the program name shouldn't work at a command line.

I'm wondering if this is the same issue as #141 and #174 where the steam runtime environment is interfering with things electron expects. I currently have a branch with an experimental fix if it is the same issue. You could try the CI build and run it as follows (replace konsole -e with your terminal emulator):

LD_LIBRARY_PATH="" konsole -e env MEL_LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" ./MinEdLauncher %command% /autorun /autoquit
