mockserver-grunt Error spawn java ENOENT

I am trying to start a mockserver-grunt using node modules. My problem is that the following error occurs:

events.js:160
  throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
  ^

 Error: spawn java ENOENT
    at exports._errnoException (util.js:1022:11)
    at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit

    at run (bootstrap_node.js:420:7)
    at startup (bootstrap_node.js:139:9)
    at bootstrap_node.js:535:3

I know there a lot of questions here about this error, but I've tried a lot of answers and none of it worked. This is the first time I'm working with node and mockserver. For example I tried this answer

And my output is:

{ '0': 'java',
  '1': 
    [ '-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8',
    '-Dmockserver.logLevel=WARN',
    '-jar',
    [ 'mockserver-netty-3.10.6-jar-with-dependencies.jar' ],
    '-serverPort',
    5000 ],
  '2': { stdio: [ 'ignore', 'ignore', [Object] ] } }

My mock_server.js looks like this:

var mockserver = require('mockserver-grunt'); mockserver.start_mockserver({serverPort: 5000});

and I checked, there are no other programs running on port 5000.

My package.json looks like this:

{
 "name": "test",
 "version": "1.0.0",
 "description": "## Required environment vars",
 "main": "mock_server.js",
 "author": "",
 "license": "ISC",
 "dependencies": {
   "bower": "^1.7.9",
   "grunt": "1.0.1",
   "grunt-cli": "1.2.0",
   "mockserver-grunt": "^1.0.41"
}

I have also installed a project from scratch and the same thing happens. Would really appreciate any help. Thanks.

Solution

  • Ok, this is how I resolved this issue. I tried to run locally: 

    java -Dmockserver.logLevel=INFO -jar ~/Downloads/mockserver-netty-3.10.6-jar-with-dependencies.jar -serverPort -5000

    And it seemed like:

    bash: java: command not found

    After I installed java, I started the server node mock_server.js and all went good.

    So yeah, I knew this was a silly problem...
