Nodeclipse won't run or debug app on OSX Maverick, nodeclipse 0.8.0, and JDK 1.7.03_45 (node path was not set)

[thenderson21]

When I try to run or debug a nodejs app I get and error:

java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "node" (in directory 
"/Users/<USERNAME>/Documents/Projects/<PROJECTNAME>"): error=2, No such file or directory.

I can run the app just fine in the the terminal just fine.

My system is OSX Maverick, Eclipse Standard/SDK Version: Kepler Service Release 1 Build id: 20130919-0819, Nodeclipse 0.8.0, jdk1.7.0_45.jdk

Not sure if this is a bug or a configuration error. I would like to know how to fix this.

Have you tried to disable Find node on PATH option and use exact node location?
For this error it is clear, that system can't find some file, so if it is not your app script, it is node.

By the way, what Markdown Editor do you use?

It works when I disable the Find node on PATH option and point to node locations. It isn't able to find node or nodemon in the path.

I normal use Coda as for most of my web development (php, js ...). I usually just use coda since I'm that is where I am at.

1. Disable Find node on PATH,
2. then select node location, e.g. C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe
   is the solution when node is not on your PATH

check Preferences carefully, experiment a bit.

Check http://www.nodeclipse.org/history on what's new and how to get Markdown Editor
