Sorry, I had a feeling I should repaste that part as well. This should work from any machine with docker and emacs 29+. Reminder that I'm using emacs 30.0.50. Also note I'm executing these steps and pasting them as I verify they are valid from `emacs -Q` with emacs 30.0.50. 1. Start `emacs -Q` 2. Start the alpine docker container using a specific tag by evaluating: (async-shell-command "docker run --name alpine3173 --rm -it alpine:3.17.3 sh" "*docker run alpine sh*") 3. open dired in the alpine container C-x C-f /docker:root@alpine3173: RET 4. Open eshell with M-x eshell 5. Try to run any command that eshell does not implement which exists in the docker container's PATH. `chown` for instance: Welcome to the Emacs shell /docker:root@alpine3173:~ # chown ‘echo \"`uname -sr`\"’ does not return a valid Lisp expression: ‘sh: uname: command not found "" ’ After writing those all out, I followed them again and reproduced this issue successfully. Some potentially useful debugging information from that point: ``` /docker:root@alpine3173:~ # ls -larth /docker:root@alpine3173:/bin/uname lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 1969-12-31 1969 /docker:root@alpine3173:/bin/uname -> /bin/busybox /docker:root@alpine3173:~ # ls -larth /docker:root@alpine3173:/bin/sh lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 1969-12-31 1969 /docker:root@alpine3173:/bin/sh -> /bin/busybox /docker:root@alpine3173:~ # echo $PATH /bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin /docker:root@alpine3173:~ # whoami root /docker:root@alpine3173:~ # which whoami eshell/whoami is a native-compiled Lisp function in ‘em-unix.el’. ```
