[FEATURE] Detect Node.js installation from WSL #39

Open beckermarc opened 2 months ago

beckermarc commented 2 months ago

Description

I am using Windows and develop / run my projects in WSL. I also have Node.js installed in WSL and it is present in my user's path there. Unfortunately the CDS plugin doesn't detect Node.js in this scenario from my WSL distribution. As I don't have Node.js installed on my Windows machine directly I get an error from the plugin, that it can't find Node.js

Suggested Solution

I'd expect the Node.js installation from WSL to be found and used.

Hi @beckermarc, is your IDE installed in WSL or in Windows itself? Would you be able to influence the PATH the IDE is started with?

beckermarc commented 2 months ago

The IDE is installed in Windows itself. It internally connects to WSL (terminal, build, etc. is run there). I don't think I can reasonably adjust the PATH to point to a unix-based binary installed in WSL.

We now have a backlog item for automatic/manual selection of the local Node installation instead of having to set the PATH.
