WebStorm 8, nvm, lessc
Hi,
I'm running WebStorm 8 on Ubuntu 14.04.
Node is installed using nvm.
My Node path is /home/alex/.nvm/v0.10.29/bin/node (running which node from WS Terminal).
The WS Node interpreter is set up for this path.
Running lessc from the WS Terminal works fine.
When using the lessc compiler configured in WS File Watchers (/home/alex/code/myproject/node_modules/less/bin/lessc), I get the following error in the run window:
/home/alex/code/myproject/node_modules/less/bin/lessc --no-color main.less
/usr/bin/env: node: No such file or directory
Thanks

Does the problem persist when launching WebStorm from terminal? NVM patches environment variables on terminal startup only. If the IDE is launched from Terminal, it inherits Terminal environment (including modified PATH environment variable, added NVM_DIR env var, etc). In that case, there are normally no problems with running tools, as the IDE sees correct PATH value.
If you're using bash as shell, workaround could be the the following: edit your WebStorm launcher and set command to "/bin/bash -l -c "/path/to/webstorm.sh". This command will perform bash login (i.e. reading your .bashrc/.bash_profile files) and after that will runwebstorm.sh.
Thanks, running WebStorm from Terminal works fine.
I'm using zsh.
I updated the jetbrains-webstorm.desktop in ~/.local/share/applications but after that WebStorm did not start.
I modified the exec entry like this:
Exec="/bin/bash -l -c /opt/WebStorm/bin/webstorm.sh" %f
I also tried to use this in .zshenv:
source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh
The mentioned workaround is only suitable for bash shell... I'm not sure how to fix the issue with zsh:(
Hi Elena! Is there any solution for zsh now?
You can patch the desktop launcher to make sure that zsh is run before WebStorm, like
/path/to/zsh -i -c /path/to/webstorm.sh. Or, make required variables available in a login shell configuration by moving them tozprofile, etc.Hi Elena! I'm using Jetbrains Toolbox utility and I guess it rewrites launcher file every time when system loads. I'm not sure but it seems so. I'll check it later.
