problem with starting to use pug/jade

[Денис Мухортов]

I started using the library https://github.com/Joker/jade, never used go generate before. And now when trying to create hello.jade, I get the output ' "jade": exec: "jade": executable file not found in %PATH%'.

Does this mean that I need to specify pug in the global variables, or do I need to do something in the library itself

You need to get to the point where typing "jade" at the shell runs the jade executable, like this.

Did you install the jade executable?  The error says the jade executable was not found in your search path.   If you let go install the jade binary in its usual location ($GOBIN) this implies $GOBIN isn't in your PATH.

Under Linux, I'd add ~/go/bin to $PATH.  Sorry but I don't know what the equivalent is for Windows.

Note: if "go get github.com/Joker/jade/cmd/jade" gives this error:

go get: module github.com/Joker/jade@upgrade found (v1.0.0), but does not contain package github.com/Joker/jade/cmd/jade

Then see this issue: https://github.com/Joker/jade/issues/38

I think you're supposed to use "go install" rather than "go get" these days.  This should work:

go install github.com/Joker/jade/cmd/jade@master
