JSHint for SublimeText2 doesn't find node.js path even if it's right

Question

I've installed JsHint Gutter package in my SublimeText 2, but when I'm try to use it SublimeText give me this error:

Node.js was not found in the default path. Please specify the location.

The path on the preference file is right.If I try to type it in my console it works fine. This is the line of the pref. file where the path is set.

    "node_path": "/usr/local/bin/node"

This is the versions info:

MacOS X 10.9
Sublime Text 2.0.2
node.js v0.10.22

What's the exact name of the package? I don't think there's a package called just "JSHint". — dcodesmith, Jan 20 '14 at 21:31
Ok, mine works fine. Go into your Terminal and do "which node" to confirm your node path — dcodesmith, Jan 20 '14 at 22:52
Close SublimeText --> reboot the Mac --> open again SublimeText... The same error. :( — RikyTres, Jan 20 '14 at 23:10

Take a look at this, seems like you're gonna have to node_path to your nodes absolute path

Check this out Oh noez, command not found!

If you get an error sh: node: command not found or similar, you don't have node in the right path. Try setting the absolute path to node in JSHint.sublime-settings.

Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P in Linux/Windows/OS X type jshint, select Set node Path This means from: "node_path": "/usr/local/bin/node" change to "node_path": "/your/absolute/path/to/node"

Simply using node without specifying a path sometimes doesn't work :(

For example, on Linux the path could be in /home//.nvm//bin/node.

Or just update to Sublime Text 3

I try it before, but I couldn't found the absolute path... If I go to `use/local/bin` I find the the executable file and not a link, then I don't know where is it... Any idea? – RikyTres Jan 20 '14 at 23:25
Type $HOME in your Terminal and tell me what you get? – dcodesmith Jan 20 '14 at 23:27
$HOME ==> -bash: /Users/TresMac: is a directory – RikyTres Jan 20 '14 at 23:31
Sorry, I dozed off and forgot. Is there a `.nvm` directory in your $HOME path i.e Users/TresMac? – dcodesmith Jan 21 '14 at 21:44
Don't warry, it's ok! ;) No, I don't find any `.nvm` file or directory in /Users/TresMac – RikyTres Jan 21 '14 at 23:33
Hey @RikyTres, any luck yet? – dcodesmith Jan 22 '14 at 20:41
Not yet... Any idea about the `.nvm` dir? – RikyTres Jan 22 '14 at 21:36
Nope, that's what the wiki suggested. Mine works fine so it's hard to diagnose – dcodesmith Jan 22 '14 at 21:37
Should I have to find the ".nvm" directory or not? – RikyTres Jan 22 '14 at 21:44
you could try. If it does infact exist somewhere on you machine – dcodesmith Jan 22 '14 at 21:44

I was having this issue with html-css-js.prettify. In the end none of these issues worked for me and I had to comment out line 58-62 of HTMLPrettify.py so that the only line left would look up the path with the line... node = settings.get("node_path") I restarted SublimeText and it started working. – Seth Spearman Jul 10 '14 at 14:49
