Installed webpack globally, wptr looks for local version?

[jakenuts]

I installed webpack ala "npm install webpack -g", and was using it directly from the command line in my web project. I then installed WebPackTaskRunner and in the same project when I click on "Run - Development" I get this error:

Error: Cannot find module 'C:\Code\src\myproject\node_modules\webpack\bin\webpack.js'

I used Process Monitor to watch where it was looking and it checked in these three places:

• C:\Code\src\myproject\webpack.*
• C:\Program Files\nodejs\webpack.*
• C:\Code\src\myproject\node-modules.bin\webpack.*

Installing WebPack globally put it in this folder:

• C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Roaming\npm\webpack.cmd

Does it need to be installed locally with the project, or is there a way to expand the places it searches (possibly by configuring node differently?)

Thanks!

@scottaddie Do you know?

@jakenuts I have the extension working when I install Webpack either locally or globally. I wonder if this is a PATH environment variable issue. On my Windows 7 and Windows 10 machines (both using npm 3.5.x and Node 4.2.x), I have the following in my PATH:

C:\Users\Scott Addie\AppData\Roaming\npm

Do you see something like that on your machine?

Also for clarification, I would expect the 3rd path listed above to be the following:

C:\Code\src\myproject\node_modules\.bin\webpack.*

Is this the exact path you see when running Process Monitor?

@jakenuts Any updates to provide on this?
