Linux build executable fails to start when being run through an environment variable

Linux

-

How to reproduce:
1. Create a new project
2. Name the executable "test" and build the project
3. In the system's terminal add the full build executable's path (without the executable itself) to the $PATH environment variable by running: export PATH=$PATH:[Build Path]
4. In the terminal navigate out of the build directory and start the executable by running: test.x86_64

Expected result: the player starts
Actual result: the player doesn't start and a "no boot config - using default values" error is thrown in the terminal

Reproducible with: 2018.4.35f1, 2019.4.28f1, 2020.3.12f1, 2021.1.11f1, 2021.2.0a19

Note: Reproducible on Ubuntu 18.04

    Actually, if the executable is named "test" it is possible that the shell command "test" is run instead.
    It's a very poor choice for a program's name.

    Perhaps it would be useful to check if a given executable name already exists in the path and reject it as configuration for the project (or at least ask for explicit confirmation)?
