node undefined when trying to run electron...
I did not manage to run electron app properly with node configuration and tried to do this in various ways and read all posts related to this subject. I know that there are a lot of people like me which looking for a simple answer so maybe someone can help to solve this problem.
Node Interpreter: path_to_electron_inside_node_modules_folder_in_app
Working Directory: path_to_app
Javascript file: app/main.js
Application parameters: --remote-debugging-port=9222
When I run the app in webstorm using above configuration I have:
/home/mymoon/code/your_perfect_project/node_modules/.bin/electron /home/mymoon/code/your_perfect_project/app/main.js --remote-debugging-port=9222
/usr/bin/env: ‘node’: No such file or directory
Process finished with exit code 127
When I do the same command using the terminal in webstorm my electron app turning on properly. So how can I fix it?
Few things to mention:
- For now I'm using npm config to work normally on app but I'm not able to debug app using breakpoints (debug main and renderer processes)
- webstorm version 2018.1
- my settings for nodejs and npm configuration:

Looks like a
$PATHissue. Try running WebStorm in terminal usingwebstorm.sh- does the issue persist?You are right...it was $PATH issue...I was thinking about it and added whole $PATH to environment variables input in config environment yesterday and application ran properly but after your post, I removed $PATH variable from there and I opened webstorm using webstorm.sh and it also opened application properly. The question is...how to fix it? Did I installed webstorm in wrong way? I really want to open webstorm using desktop icon instead of using the script.
OK I found the solution...I have "zsh shell" and I added to `~/.zshrc` line which will export webstorm bin path to $PATH like this: `export PATH=$HOME/Desktop/WebStorm-173.4674.32/bin:$PATH` and now I'm able to open webstorm using gnome-do and desktop icon. HUURAY! Thank you so much for help Elena.
