Right now I reinstalled 17.9.0 from 19.3.0 (and 18.13.0). So the output is 17.9.0

No, I’ll just be more direct.

What does “which node” print out?

If you had chosen to answer the question, then you would know what to set the PATH to. You might want to think about that.

So, again: what does "which node" print out? Entering "which node" would actually tell you where the node binary is. The output of "npm version" does not.

Did you actually do it, or did you just assume the output would be 17.9.0 and not, say, "no such file or directory"?

Really? I am wondering what do you think about #1 where I exported the PATH to /usr/bin/node. Why you think I did that? Do I need to know where the node is when I know where is it? Maybe I exported because I KNOW where node is. I tested a *.js file and works fine on machine. The issue is that is not been seen by VSCode.
The node is not found on VSCode and this is the issue this answer was raised.

I thought #16 means you couldn't run command `/usr/bin/node --version` because installing an older version took all your time.
Or it means installing an older version solved your problem.

Anyways, PATH should contain only directories, not individual files.

Yes, really.

I already told you what I think about that. I told you in my first post in the thread.

Unless your path to your node executable is /usr/bin/node/node, then that is wrong.

Now, when you go into VSCode's terminal (from its "Terminal" menu) and enter "echo $PATH", what do you get? Or are you going to refuse to do that too?

Hold on a minute.

Think you might be having issues with FlatPak's sandboxing?

That could be a good start finally, but how to investigate that?

Note this is for VSCode terminal:

Code:
sh-5.1$ /usr/bin/node -v
sh: /usr/bin/node: No such file or directory
sh-5.1$ whereis node
node:
sh-5.1$ which node
which: no node in (/app/bin:/app/bin:/app/bin:/usr/bin:/home/brad/.var/app/com.visualstudio.code/data/node_modules/bin)
sh-5.1$
so I am saying again VSCode is not seeing node installed on the machine

I am not refusing anything, I appreciate your help just sometimes I can't wake-up the remote machine, poor signal.

Code:
sh-5.1$ mc
sh: mc: command not found
sh-5.1$ echo $PATH
/app/bin:/app/bin:/app/bin:/usr/bin:/home/brad/.var/app/com.visualstudio.code/data/node_modules/bin
sh-5.1$

My VSCode installation isn't FlatPak, so I won't be testing these myself. Here are two links I found:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/...ystem-binaries

https://www.reddit.com/r/flatpak/com...srbin_etc_and/

NevemTeve 01-07-2023 01:01 AM
You should forget this flatpack-thingie, install the software properly from rpm package (or similar).

OK I see, I will remove flatpack's installation and I will give a try and reinstall from sources. But as far as I recall I had the same issue, I may be wrong ...

NevemTeve 01-07-2023 01:09 AM
Installing from source isn't recommended for beginners either.

dugan 01-07-2023 01:15 AM
Yeah, I think I would give up on VSCode in a FlatPak after reading these two:

right, unfortunately I did not have luck on this post of knowledgeable members.


VSCode works fine from SlackBuild
