No 'nim' binary could be found in PATH #46

Closed brechtm closed 7 years ago

brechtm commented 7 years ago

Running on macOS Sierra, on startup of VSCode the Nim plugin reports

No 'nim' binary could be found in PATH: '/usr/local/Cellar/pyenv-virtualenv/1.0.0/shims:/Users/brechtm/.pyenv/shims:/Users/brechtm/.local/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/X11/bin:/Library/TeX/texbin:/Users/brechtm/.nimble/bin'

Yet there is a softlink nim in /usr/local/bin:

/usr/local/bin/nim -> ../Cellar/nim/HEAD-d701de5/bin/nim

which points to the Homebrew-provided nim executable. This binary is working fine from the command line.

Manually linking the nim binary to ~/.local/bin/nim using the absolute path /usr/local/Cellar/nim/HEAD-d701de5/bin/nim seems to fix the problem. I think vscode-nim has trouble with the relative link.

Also affected.

This is extremely annoying as it hides vscode tab bar.

I didn't have the issue before updating vscode-nim today. I can't find any vscode logs to get my previous vscode-nim version but it was around November 2016.

I believe the issue comes from this commit https://github.com/pragmagic/vscode-nim/commit/96351bbc6106cdc33210843e314e5294121202c4#diff-d032f7c0615e0f05c76900f826b3a561 which is the only one related to binary path since July 2016

Edit: Reverting to 0.5.20 fixes the issue

Creating the symlik with absolute path didn't fix it for me.

Interestingly enough, I've had issues with PATH not being detected with Hyper, which is another Electron-based app. I'm really guessing here, but maybe it's an Electron issue.

I am a Sierra user and I also had this problem. My installation of Nim was through brew install, and the symlink to Nim was a relative path:

/usr/local/bin/nim -> ../Cellar/nim/0.17.0/bin/nim

I moved the original link... mv /usr/local/bin/nim /usr/local/bin/nim-backup

...and created a new one with an absolute path: ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/nim/0.17.0/bin/nim /usr/local/bin/nim

Now Visual Studio Code doesnt display the popup anymore and things work as expected.

sudo ln -s $HOME/.nimble/bin/nim /usr/local/bin/nim Fixed this issue for me.

I'm also having this issue all these years later. Neither @ghost's nor @s0kil's solutions seem to work for me.
