/bin/sh: js2coffee: command not found

[adilwali]

Hopefully I am not adding a duplicate here -- I went through the previously closed issues and didn't see anything that looked the same.

I have installed:

• node and npm (js2coffee requires these)
• js2coffee and coffee-script: npm install -g js2coffee coffee-script

And I've installed the Package for Sublime Text via the Package Control. All seemed to go fine. But when I actually run the command to convert something to coffee (via package control), I get this in the output:
/bin/sh: js2coffee: command not found

But I can run 'js2coffee' fine from console. I used brew to install it, so it's at: /usr/local/lib/node_modules/js2coffee

Any ideas?

1. do you have it symlinked in /usr/local/bin/js2coffee ?
2. OSX uses a weird PATH env for GUI applications that is different from PATH
   e.g.
   compare echo $PATH to launchctl getenv PATH
   also see: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/135688/setting-environment-variables-in-os-x

I'll have to see how other plugins are handling it to be more robust, I might have to hardcode the path if user is on OSX...

Hey,

Can you pls help..

I get the same error. I have Node/NPM installed through Homebrew and js2coffee is in /usr/local/share/npm/bin/. I symlinked js2coffee in /usr/local/bin/. I then got the error env: coffee: No such file or directory. After symlinking coffee in to /usr/local/bin/ as well, I get the following:

Have the same problem. (Compiling coffeescript in sublime reports the same error, too, but with coffee reported missing instead of js2coffee.)

> which js2coffee
/usr/local/bin/js2coffee

But in Sublime, I get:

/bin/sh: js2coffee: command not found

I’ll try reading the link about GUI apps’ PATHs.

I updated my PATH via launchctl setenv PATH and verified (via getenv) it now contains /usr/local/bin, but after restarting Sublime Text, I still get the same error:

/bin/sh: js2coffee: command not found

Same issue ...js2coffee in /usr/local/bin/js2coffee (MacOs 10.6) ...

[michaelryancaputo]

Same here. OSX 10.8.3

[andrewmartin]

Same issue here:

ST2:

/bin/sh: js2coffee: command not found

My terminal output:

$ which js2coffee
/usr/local/bin/js2coffee

[andrewmartin]

One thing to consider might be to set the path on a user preferences level like they do in Sublime Coffee Compile. Just a thought. Does anyone have this working? I'd love to see this come into play 👍

Hey all fellow Mac guys, install this great plugin from int3h to fix this issue. https://github.com/int3h/SublimeFixMacPath

[andrewmartin]

@justinhernandez Wow, that fix worked instantly! Thank you, my man!

[justinhernandez]

@andrewmartin don't thank me! Thank @int3h! 👍

[andrewmartin]

Thank you @int3h! 👍

[int3h]

@andrewmartin @justinhernandez No problem, glad my little plugin could help :) This is exactly the type of thing I created it for.
