CodeGen stops working, incorrectly warns about Node.js not installed

[krisrok]

Describe the bug 💬

I managed to solve it by myself but the warning really was not of much help:

What I found out:

• The problem was another CodeGen process was hanging in the background (maybe due to crashed Unity process) and kept a handle on the log file.
• CodeGen has a somewhat error-prone check that relies on Node.js writing its version to the log file.

What happened:

• Log file was locked -> No version was written -> Needle Exporter warns about Node.js not present -> User confused
