Improve error message when `npm` isn't in `PATH` #2113

Open sodic opened 1 week ago

sodic commented 1 week ago

If a user starts a wasp command and npm isn't in PATH, this is the error they get:

[  Wasp  ] Starting npm installwasp-bin: npm: streamingProcess: exec: invalid argument (Bad file descriptor)

We should check if npm is in PATH and give our users a meaningful message if we don't find it (like we do when we don't find node).

Thanks @Rotemoyal for letting us know: https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp/issues/1980#issuecomment-2183980522
