Nodeclipse won't run or debug app on OSX Maverick, nodeclipse 0.8.0, and JDK 1.7.03_45

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.

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.

Solution

  • It should self solved problem, as it is clear that node can't be found so need to check current configuration Window -> Preferences -> Nodeclipse

    Disable Find node on PATH,
then select node exact location, e.g. on Windows C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe

    check Preferences carefully, experiment a bit.
