Node executable not found in package but elisp finds it otherwise fine.

[dschonholtz]

I installed node 17 with nvm. When I run the following code I get the following path:

emacs --script test.el /home/douglas/.nvm/versions/node/v17.9.1/bin/node

;; test.el
(defcustom copilot-node-executable
  (if (eq system-type 'windows-nt)
      "node.exe"
    "node")
  "Node executable path."
  :group 'copilot
  :type 'string)

(message
 (locate-file copilot-node-executable exec-path))

But when I attempt to run the copilot login I get the following in Messages

Could not find node executable

My guess is there is some weird pathing thing here? Where the node executable isn't getting seen for some reason wherever the list code in package is getting run?

In any case I am going to sleep for now

I'm not sure why it couldn't find the path, but you can set it manually by (setq copilot-node-executable "/path/to/node").

This worked! Thank you
