IntelliJ Terminal not working - NodeJs Version

What command do you use to change/set Node.js version in your system terminal? Also, what do your terminal preferences in Preferences | Tools | Terminal look like?

I just used the official Node installer for reinstalling the tools, went to the Node.js, select the version I wanted to install and did download and run it.

For the second question, pls. see attached.

Still you have at least 2 Node.js versions installed; do you use zsh in your system terminal? What is a result of running which node in your system and IDEA terminals?

Here is the result of which node on my IDEA System: /Users/aminkasbi/.node_modules/bin/node

what is IDEA System? I asked for results of running this command in your OS terminal and in IDEA built-in terminal. Also, what shell do you use for your OS terminal?

The result of which node no both terminals built-in IDEA and OS Terminal are different:

build-in IDEA: /Users/aminkasbi/.node_modules/bin/node
OS system terminal: /usr/local/bin/node

What do you mean exactly with IDEA System?

What is a result of running echo $PATH in both terminals? What shell do you use for your system terminal?

On built-in IDEA: /Users/aminkasbi/.node_modules/bin /usr/local/bin /usr/bin /bin /usr/sbin /sbin /Applications/VMware Fusion.app/Contents/Public /usr/local/MacGPG2/bin /Users/aminkasbi/SERVICE_LAYERS/appowner-app/node_modules/.bin

On OS System terminal: nothing, it's empty

Please share the output of the following command:

grep  '\.node_modules' ~/.zshenv ~/.zprofile ~/.zshrc ~/.zlogin /etc/zshenv /etc/zprofile /etc/zshrc /etc/zlogin

Here is the output:

grep: /Users/aminkasbi/.zshenv: No such file or directory
grep: /Users/aminkasbi/.zprofile: No such file or directory
/Users/aminkasbi/.zshrc:export PATH=~/.node_modules/bin:$PATH
grep: /Users/aminkasbi/.zlogin: No such file or directory
grep: /etc/zshenv: No such file or directory
grep: /etc/zlogin: No such file or directory

Thanks for reporting. It looks like an issue in the built-in terminal, because it behaves differently to your system terminal. OK, ~/.zshrc has "export PATH=~/.node_modules/bin:$PATH", this explains the issue. But the question is why your system terminal is not affected.

Please locate the following line in ~/.zshrc

export PATH=~/.node_modules/bin:$PATH

and add the following line above it:

echo "Adding .node_modules/bin to PATH"

Then, save the changes in ~/.zshrc, open a new tab in the built-in terminal and run there these commands:

echo $SHELL
echo $PATH
ps -p $$
ps -o pid,ppid,tty,command -t `ps -o tty= -p $$`

Please attach a screenshot (not copied text) of the built-in terminal.

Then, open a new tab in your system terminal and run there the same commands. Please attach a screenshot of the system terminal too. Please make sure that the screenshots contain whole terminal output starting with login information and ending with the last command output. Thanks!

I have correct Node version installed via NVM. Intellij doesn't see it and says:
The Angular CLI requires a minimum Node.js version of either v14.20, v16.14 or v18.10.
Node --version (in intellij terminal) shows:
v18.19.1

 

I don't understnad why Intellij see different version of node in different places. Why Angular Cli toolkit see different version than Intellij terminal ? terminal see correct version, but Angular cli tools in intellij says:
The Angular CLI requires a minimum Node.js version of either v14.20, v16.14 or v18.10.
Because they see different version and I had to manually dig for option to set proper version. It's weird because I use NVM and expect intellij to use system Node version instead of some "intellij preferences"
I fixed issue by specifying correct node version in Language & Frameworks -> Node.js. But why I have to spend my time to do it ?

Terminal uses the version from PATH environment. Make sure PATH contains the version you need. Project settings normally do not affect what tools are used in the Terminal.
