Cannot run program "karma": error=2, No such file or directory when running from Eclipse Maven

[Jean Marois]

Hi,

I am able to run my Jasmin tests in Karma using the karma command line and maven command line, but when trying to run maven (eg. mvn install) from within STS 3.2.0.RELEASE (Eclipse Juno 4.2) I get the following error

Failed to execute goal com.kelveden:maven-karma-plugin:1.2:start (default) on project store-webapp: There was an error executing Karma. Cannot run program "karma": error=2, No such file or directory -> [Help 1]

It's as if when Eclipse shells maven, it does not have /usr/local/bin in the path. Is there a way to configure the path eclipse uses when invoking maven?

My environment is:

Mac OSX 10.8.4

STS 3.2.0.RELEASE (Eclipse Juno 4.2)

maven-karma-plugin 1.2

karma 0.8.6 (installed globally via npm install -g karma)

Node.js 0.10.12 (installed using the OSX package)

It appears in Mac OS X 10.8 (and possible earlier) GUI apps do not get the same path as the terminal. To add /usr/local/bin to the global, you need to edit (and possibly create) /etc/launchd.conf to include

setenv PATH /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin

You must edit/create this file with admin privs so use sudo with vi or nano

sudo nano /etc/launchd.conf 

You will need to reboot your Mac before this change can take effect.

Glad you figured it out ;-)
