Description
What happened?
Bug Report: /ide install error: " ✕ agy not found. Please ensure it is in your system's PATH. "
On IDE integration with Google's Antigravity: Gemini CLI fails to detect Antigravity IDE on non-Debian/Ubuntu Linux distributions due to binary naming mismatch.
Current Fix / Workaround: Users currently have to manually create a symbolic link to satisfy the CLI's detection logic: sudo ln -s /usr/bin/antigravity /usr/local/bin/agy.
The Gemini CLI (specifically within the @google/gemini-cli-core logic) fails to detect a valid Antigravity IDE installation on several Linux distributions. While the CLI expects a binary named agy, many package managers (or official installers on these distros) install the binary as antigravity in /usr/bin/. Consequently, running the /ide install command results in the error: ✕ agy not found. Please ensure it is in your system's PATH.
Root Cause Analysis: The detection logic in the editor utility (specifically in @google/gemini-cli-core/dist/src/utils/editor.js) appears to have a hardcoded mapping for the Antigravity command. Currently, it is likely configured as: antigravity: { win32: ['agy.cmd'], default: ['agy'] }.
On some Linux distributions, the system provides /usr/bin/antigravity, but no agy alias is created by default. This causes the CLI to report the IDE as "(Not installed)".
Steps to Reproduce:
-
Install Antigravity on a non-Ubuntu Linux distribution (e.g., Arch Linux).
-
Verify the binary exists via which antigravity (typically returns /usr/bin/antigravity).
-
Run gemini and attempt to use /ide install or check /ide status.
-
Observe that Antigravity is not detected because the CLI is strictly looking for the agy command.
Expected Behavior:
The Gemini CLI should check for both agy and antigravity as valid command names for the IDE on Linux systems.
Suggested Fix:
Update the editorCommands mapping in the CLI core to include antigravity as a fallback for the default (non-Windows) platform: antigravity: { win32: ['agy.cmd'], default: ['agy', 'antigravity'] }.
Current Workaround:
Users currently have to manually create a symbolic link to satisfy the CLI's detection logic: sudo ln -s /usr/bin/antigravity /usr/local/bin/agy.
Environment:
Gemini CLI Version: [Vul hier je versie in, bijv. 0.22.2]
