Hi, I’m trying to automate some travis/github stuff in Julia. I’m running into some problems.
When I try to run `travis login` from the command line it works just fine, but if I try to run from within julia, I run into problems.
```julia
julia> run(`travis login`)
ERROR: could not spawn `travis login`: no such file or directory (ENOENT)

```

From your command line check where travis is installed:
`$ which travis`
Check if that folder appears on PATH env from julia
`julia> ENV["PATH"]`

What is `travis` here, and how did you install it?

Yes, the path, `C:\Ruby22-x64\bin`, is in both `which travis` and `ENV["PATH"]`
travis is the command line interface for travis. I got it with `gem install travis`, where gem is Ruby’s package manager.

Might be windows related… Does it happen only with `travis` command line tool? Does `julia> run(`dir`)` work for you?

Try running it from a windows Cmd prompt first. Julia will behave mostly like that on Windows.

☹ should I file an issue?

travis is a ruby script.
Does this work for you?
```julia
julia> run(`ruby --version`)
ruby 2.0.0p481 (2014-05-08 revision 45883) [universal.x86_64-darwin14]
```

Have you tried:
```julia
run(`cmd /c travis login`)
```

Worked like a charm! How did you figure that out?
