System wide grunt not detected

[Waxolunist]

System wide grunt is not detected on the build agent, though it is installed.

I think the problem is that the output of grunt-cli changed somewhat.

Instead of

$ grunt --version
grunt-cli v0.1.13

the output is

$ grunt
grunt-cli: The grunt command line interface. (v0.1.13)

Fatal error: Unable to find local grunt.

If you're seeing this message, either a Gruntfile wasn't found or grunt
hasn't been installed locally to your project. For more information about
installing and configuring grunt, please see the Getting Started guide:

http://gruntjs.com/getting-started

The test executes the second but looks out for the first output.

On what OS does the build agent fails to detect grunt? What version of packages do you have?

[jonnyzzz]

Unfortunately, I failed to reproduce the bug under Mac OS. The related code is in NodeDetector.kt file. Do you see how one can improve it?

[Waxolunist]

I am using Mac OS as well. I will so some more tests.

I'm getting this problem NodeDetector.kt need to change from

detectNodeTool("grunt", GruntBean().gruntConfigurationParameter) {

detectNodeTool("grunt --version", GruntBean().gruntConfigurationParameter) {

as suggested above

weirdly this problem happens when I run Java 8. I don't have problem with Java 7......

You may check environment variables. It may caused a package to disappear On Aug 26, 2015 6:49 PM, "Neill Turner" notifications@github.com wrote:

It appears that this issue has been "resolved" in code, but I was still seeing an issue with grunt not being reported. In my case, my issue was that I was running the agent under the System account in Windows, and grunt-cli was installed globally under my account. I tried getting it installed under the system account (other postings on the web indicated this worked) but it failed for me. I eventually set up the agent to run under its own account, installed grunt-cli under this account, and all was peachy!
