Tools to help you find problems when looking up executable files.

$ cargo install cargo-whichp

$ cargo whichp bundle

Program "bundle" found at "/Users/rschneeman/.gem/ruby/3.1.3/bin/bundle"

  > [OK] "/Users/rschneeman/.gem/ruby/3.1.3/bin/bundle"
  - [OK] "/Users/rschneeman/.rubies/ruby-3.1.3/bin/bundle"
  - [OK] "/usr/local/bin/bundle"
  - [OK] "/usr/local/bin/bundle"
  - [OK] "/usr/bin/bundle"
Help: Ensure the one you want comes first and is [OK]

Rust library

$ cargo add which_problem

use std::process::Command;
use which_problem::Which;

let program = "bundle";
Command::new(program)
    .arg("install")
    .output()
    .map_err(|error| {
        eprintln!("Executing command '{program}' failed. Error: {error}");

        match Which::new(program).diagnose() {
            Ok(details) => println!("Diagnostic info: {details}"),
            Err(error) => println!("Warning: Internal which_problem error: {error}"),
        }
        error
    })
    .unwrap();
