Fix handling of missing command by dotenv run - #606
Merged
Conversation
Changes for users: - (BREAKING) `dotenv run` exits with status code 1 instead of 2 if the command provided as argument can't be found. - `dotenv run` prints a friendly error message instead of a stack trace if the command provided as argument can't be found. Notes: The existing test case was wrongly testing for that situation: it was actually observing a "missing env file" error, not a "command not found error". I thus added an appropriate test case for full coverage.

This should ideally be rebased on top of and merged after #604 to benefit from automated testing on Windows.
