Exec command not found

• Version: 17.21.0

• Target: dmg

I have some exec() command in my app for example:

exec('npm -v', (err, stdout, stderr) => {

      $log.info(stdout, stderr, err);
    });

It works if i start the app from the shell but it won’t if i build the dmg and install the app.

I get error in console: npm command not found

So i tried this:

require('child_process').execSync('which npm').toString();

And i get this error:

child_process.js:538 Uncaught Error: Command failed: which npm


    at checkExecSyncError (child_process.js:495:13)
    at Object.execSync (child_process.js:535:13)
    at Object.childProcess.(anonymous function) [as execSync] (ELECTRON_ASAR.js:690:22)
    at <anonymous>:1:26

Any advice?

Thank you

Actually i found that using this:

process.env.PATH = process.env.PATH + ':/usr/local/bin';

exec works, could be a fix or it’s going to take me to the hell too? 🗡
