Worksheet issue after switching from MAMP Pro to Servbay

[Greg Raven]

I used MAMP Pro for years in my local dev environment, and project worksheet commands (such as, to invoke js-beautify, netlify, and wrangler) worked fine. MAMP Pro's rough edges finally got to me, though, and I switched to Servbay, which in many cases seems to be a superior local environment.

However, even though I have PHP, Python, Node, Rust, and Go installed, worksheet commands that used to allow me to upload files to Netlify or Cloudflare, as well as format JavaScript and JSON files, no longer work. When I try to invoke them, I get either a "js-beautify not found" or "node not found" console error.

I don't mind (too much) having to copy-paste the upload commands, but I miss the JavaScript formatting.

I read the BBEdit documents, tried adding aliases and paths to my .zshrc file, putting the commands in worksheets, trying different command-line syntaxes, etc., but either I'm missing something or this is simply not possible to do, even though the commands do work just fine from the command line.

Anyone else run into this and come up with a solution?

I don't use MAMP Pro or Servbay, but I run many executables with BBEdit worksheets, including my own scripts in Perl, shell, Python, and JS, plus utilities I've installed. I usually put symbolic links to them in /usr/local/bin with
`sudo ln -s path/to/myscript /usr/local/bin/myscript`
so I can call them by name without their whole paths.

So this experience - tangental to yours - leads me to ask:

1. What answer do you get on the CLI to `which js-beautify`?

2. How were the utilities you want to use installed? Perhaps re-installing with Homebrew, independent of any dev environment, would do the trick (make sure `which` gets the right one).

3. Different machine? If you changed Intel -> Apple Silicon/ARM, you probably have a bunch of things to re-install.
