error when generating mermaid graph through mmdc

See original GitHub issue

When using mermaid as a graph tools, with its CLI, I have the following error in the IDEA UI:

The mmdc command line has its hashbang defined like this:

#!/usr/bin/env node
...

From my point of view, the IDE doesn’t find node, but don’t know how to check if the path variable is accessible from the plugin context.

The preview pane looks like this

For the following document, which is pretty simple:

= Example
:mermaid: /usr/local/bin/mmdc

[mermaid, communications, png, css="mermaid.css"]
----
graph TD
  A --> B
----

More:

the mmdc comand is availaible in the $PATH
the node command is available in the $PATH

I did not have the chance to test it before today…

I choose to use the following command (run in bash):

sudo launchctl config user path $PATH

And this is working perfectly 👍

@WuglyakBolgoink I have the same issue and could resolve it like this…

Add document attribute mmdc to tell the plugin where to find the executable

:mmdc: /usr/local/bin/mmdc

Edit the file /usr/local/bin/mmdc to point to the absolute path of node, rather than using env. Top of mmdc file then reads

#!/usr/local/bin/node

This will of course be reverted on any update of mmdc.
