Gradle “… occurred starting process 'command 'npm''” on Mac

Question

I have MacOS with IntelliJ Idea installed. I\'m using Gradle (gradle-2.4) for building the project. I have NodeJS and NPM installed on the Mac and available from the shell.

Answer 1

I had a similar issue and in my case, problem was that when I ran it from IntelliJ, Gradle was unable to access path to find out where node / npm is. I was using the gradle-gulp-plugin and enabling automatic download of node resolved the problem.

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath('be.filipblondeel.gradle:gradle-gulp-plugin:0.1')
    }
}
node {
    // Version of node to use.
    version = '0.12.0'

    // Enabled the automatic download.
    download = true
}
