The difference is probably in the environment.
Assuming you’re using bash;
bash distinguishes interactive/non-interactive and login/non-login shells.
(and dynamically, starting or exiting).
WHEN starting
AND ( interactive AND login ) OR ( non-interactive AND --login ) )
DO /etc/profile
THEN ~/.bash_profile
OR ELSE ~/.bash_login
OR ELSE ~/.profile
WHEN starting
AND interactive AND NOT login
DO ~/.bashrc
WHEN starting
AND NOT interactive
DO $BASH_ENV
WHEN exiting
AND login
DO ~/.bash_logout
Terminal emulators will often start the shell in non-login mode (ie. the second
case above).
Therefore they won’t load '.bash_profile' or '.profile', but '.bashrc'.
You will have to move setting of the PATH from .bash_profile (or .profile), to
.bashrc
Some terminal emulators give you the option of starting the shell in login mode
(--login or letting you give the command with any option you want). But in
general, it’s better to leave those shells as non-login shells, to avoid
confusion and being noted as multiply logged-in the system (cf. who -l).
