'grunt' is not recognized as an internal or external command #44

Closed MikeVaz closed 9 years ago

MikeVaz commented 9 years ago

I am using Visual Studio Version 12.0.30723.00 Update 3.

My grunt-cli is installed globally and I am able to run grunt from anywhere in the system except from Visual Studio using GruntLauncher.

This is what I am getting in Output:

Executing Grunt: less

'grunt' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

This is strange as the extensions simply invokes grunt on the commandline.

I've seen times when installing grunt-cli globally with visual studio open will give the same error until VS is closed and reopened or after a restart as its inner console won't see THE new PATH variable.

Can you execute 'where grunt' on the commandline and tell me it's result?

Did some extra research. And found out that something was wrong with my grunt installation. Because I was able to launch it only from my project folder where I have node_modules. So I reinstalled grunt-cli globally. After that restarted my system. And now the issue is gone. Probably something was wrong with my Path environment variable in the system.

Ok, no problem. I'm closing this issue as this was a in issue with your local grunt installation.
