macOS node error from eslint

[Michael-Stanford]

Probably user error, but I installed ESLint-Formatter with Sublime Package Control and still get an odd error when I press cmd-shift-H:

When I type

$ eslint filename.js --fix 

at the bash prompt it works OK.

But when I run eslint-formatter in Sublime Text 3 it pops up a Sublime-logoed window saying:

Error: 
/Users/michael/.nvm/versions/node/v6.4.0/lib/node_modules/eslint/bin/eslint.js:16
const useStdIn = (process.argv.indexOf("--stdin") > -1),
^^^^^

Very interesting. This shouldn't be an issue with node 6, which from your file path looks like the version running.

Can you confirm that by manually editing

/Users/michael/.nvm/versions/node/v6.4.0/lib/node_modules/eslint/bin/eslint.js

and replacing the whole file with:

throw new Error('Node version: ' + process.version)

I'm curious if somehow the version of node running isn't actually node6 but is using files from that folder.

Wow! You nailed it!!!

Error: /Users/michael/.nvm/versions/node/v6.4.0/lib/node_modules/ eslint/bin/eslint.js:2 throw new Error('Node version: ' + process.version) ^ Error: Node version: v0.10.33 at Object. (/Users/michael/.nvm/versions/ node/v6.4.0/lib/node_modules/eslint/bin/eslint.js:2:7) at Module._compile (module.js:456:26) at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:474:10) at Module.load (module.js:356:32) at Function.Module._load (module.js:312:12) at Function.Module.runMain (module.js:497:10) at startup (node.js:119:16) at node.js:906:3

I am running n (https://github.com/tj/n) to manage my Node versions. I had an old version of node in /usr/local/bin, which was not showing up with

$ which node /Users/michael/.nvm/versions/node/v6.4.0/bin/node

But now that I have deleted it, ESLint Formatter can't find Node at all:

Couldn't find Node.js. Make sure it's in your $PATH by running node -v in your command-line.

$ node -v v6.4.0

It looks as though n works by putting the right path at the beginning of the $PATH environment variable: $echo $PATH /Users/michael/.nvm/versions/node/v6.4.0/bin:...

So it is in my $PATH, but still not being found by ESLint-Formatter

So I put an alias in /usr/local/bin, and now everything is working. Please let me know if you are able to fix it so it really uses the $PATH so I can get rid of the alias.

By the way - it may be related - it also wasn't finding the .eslintrc.js file in the ancestor-path of the file being edited, so I had to hard-wire a "config_path" in the sublime-settings file.

Best regards - thank you so much for your help, and thanks also for giving your excellent code to the community.

Michael.

Having the same issue with NVM.

Ideally we shouldn't have to statically specify our eslint path if it is already in our shell's PATH.

❯ which eslint
/Users/timkelty/.nvm/versions/node/v7.4.0/bin/eslint

I don't want to have to change the sublime setting anytime i switch node versions. (this is how https://github.com/roadhump/SublimeLinter-eslint seems to do it)

I think using which like SublimeLinter does would be a great addition to this plugin. I'd happily accept a PR.

[timkelty]

sounds good, I'll put a PR on my todo list!
