Description James Legg 2018-01-27 13:27:45 UTC 
Description of problem:
I ran "mesontest" with no arguments. It fails with "Could not determine how to run Meson. Please file a bug with details."

I think this is upstream bug https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/2761.

mesonintrospect is similarly broken, which I suspect is causing gnome-builder to be unable to launch applications when using build and run.
I have /usr/bin, which contains the meson executable, in my PATH environment variable.

Version-Release number of selected component:
meson-0.44.0-1.fc27

Additional info:
reporter:       libreport-2.9.3
cmdline:        /usr/bin/python3 -s /usr/bin/mesontest
