[SOLVED] :npm-deps fails "node" not found

:npm-deps fails "node" not found

I'm trying to use the new :npm-deps feature of the clojurescript compiler to include a React-Helmet component (https://github.com/nfl/react-helmet). Relevant snippet of the "dev" build:

:compiler {:main "app.ui.core"
:output-to "resources/public/js/compiled/app.js"
:output-dir "resources/public/js/compiled/out"
:asset-path "js/compiled/out"
:source-map-timestamp true
:preloads [print.foo.preloads.devtools]
:closure-defines {goog.DEBUG true}
:external-config {:devtools/config {:features-to-install :all}}
:npm-deps {:react-helmet "5.2.0"}}

I get the cljs REPL by running start! function in the in user ns:

(defn start! []
  (figwheel-sidecar.repl-api/start-figwheel!
    (figwheel-sidecar.config/fetch-config)
    "dev")
  (figwheel-sidecar.repl-api/cljs-repl "dev"))

And then the compilation fails with:

----  Exception    ----

  java.io.IOException : Cannot run program "node": error=2, No such file or directory
  java.io.IOException : error=2, No such file or directory

----  Exception Stack Trace  ----

clojure.core/eval             core.clj: 3105
user/start!             user.clj:   12
figwheel-sidecar.repl-api/start-figwheel!         repl_api.clj:   26
figwheel-sidecar.repl-api/start-figwheel!         repl_api.clj:   29

(Naturally node.js is installed).

Solution

It looks that node binary is not available on the PATH of Java process environment performing the compilation. Adding it to the PATH should solve the issue.
