Ilya Buziuk commented on JBIDE-21005:
-------------------------------------
[~akazakov], So here is the result of my investigation about ${system_path:node / bower /
npm }
1) Linux
- Works fine assuming that node / bower / npm where preinstalled on the system
2) Mac OS
- Works fine if eclipse was launched from the *terminal* only. For desktop launch those
vars are not available
3) Windows
- Node detection works fine (points to *node.exe*). For npm and bower it gives not valid
file for launch. Basically it points to bash node / npm scripts that are useless for
windows, cause if we want to launch those tools directly (*without node*), on windows we
will need *bower.cmd / npm.cmd*, and if we will will launch them via *node* the actuall
nodejs scripts are required - */node_modules/npm/bin/npm-cli.js* &
*/node_modules/bower/bin/bower*
So, I do believe that the process of detection can be definitely improved, but in order to
make a cq ASAP (who knows how much time the eclipse guys will need for approving it?) I
propose to start it with the code that is in master right now. I guess [~psrna] would be
able to test it on nightly and I will work on a brunch with contribution for
*webtools.jsdt.core*. WDYT ?
Node / Bower / npm location should point to the node executable file
instead of the parent folder of it

Key: JBIDE-21005
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-21005
Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
Issue Type: Enhancement
Components: javascript, nodejs
Affects Versions: 4.3.0.Final
Reporter: Alexey Kazakov
Assignee: Ilya Buziuk
Fix For: 4.4.0.Alpha1
Window->Preferences->Java Script tools->Node
It's confusing that "Node Location" in that preference page is actually
references to the parent folder of the executable node file. I would expect
"/usr/bin/nodejs" or "C:/.../node.exe" in that field.
IMO it's confusing and actually not very flexible. Why wouldn't let users to
select the executable file itself?
WDYT?
