Troubleshooting

If you see the following error message:

JSONLint requires NPM and Node.js. Please download and install the latest version of Node.js, or verify that NPM can be found on $PATH.

the JSONLint extension can't find NPM on your system. There are a few reasons this might be happening.

Verify NPM Is Installed

Open a Local Terminal tab in Nova (or macOS's Terminal.app) and run the following command:

npm --version

If the result is a version number:

$ npm --version
6.13.6

NPM is installed and ready to go! If you see an error message:

$ npm --version
npm: command not found

you might need to download and install the latest version of Node.js and NPM before continuing.

NPM Is Installed, but Can’t Be Found

If you've ensured that NPM is installed but you're still seeing the error:

1. Open Nova Preferences
2. Switch to the Tools pane
3. Enable the Automatically request environment from login shell option

This ensures that JSONLint and other extensions can access information about where tools like NPM are installed on your system.

Advanced

Nova's option to request environment variables from your login shell does not include variables set in an interactive shell (i.e., a standard terminal session).

If NPM's location is added to your $PATH by a shell command or script (ex., NVM), you can copy or move the relevant invocation to a startup file sourced by login shells:

• ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, or ~/.profile for Bash
• ~/.zprofile or ~/.zlogin for ZSH

💡 Startup files like .bashrc and .zshrc are sourced in interactive shells; modifications to $PATH made in those files won't be reflected in Nova.
