Problems with activation of ShellWash

Submitted by Gregory Miecznik on Fri, 07/12/2019 - 13:56

Hi,

I just installed ShellWax into Eclipse IDE, Version 2019-03, on Linux RH7, but I can't open a project with shellWax - it is not listed in File->New->Projects, nor in File->New->Other.

What else do I need to install or customize to make ShellWax project visible.

Thank you

Greegory Miecznik

Well, I am afraid that doesn't cut it. Most of my shell executables don't have any extension (as it is recommended generally on *nix). I then need to be able to switch explicitly to the new shellwax editor.

It is true that ".sh" extension are somehow used but in principle this is reserved for scripts which are sourced by a specific shell (and not executed).

Eclipse freezes while opening a .sh file

Submitted by Alex Mattern on Wed, 11/20/2019 - 10:25

I do not recommend this tool as it causes eclipse to freeze for about 20-30 seconds upon opening a .sh file. During the freezing time Eclipse says that it is doing something with Bash Language Server.

I am unable to log into Github due to firewall and therefore cannot post any associated support ticket there.

error after installation: Missing node: Could not find node.js

Submitted by Anselm Distelrath on Wed, 01/15/2020 - 05:53

Windows 7

Eclipse IDE for Enterprise Java Developers.

Version: 2019-12 (4.14.0)
Build id: 20191212-1212

Error message:
Missing node:
Could not find node.js. This will result in editors missing key features.
Please make sure node.js is installed and that your PATH environment variable contains the location to the `node`executable.

What should be done to correct this?
 

node.js

Submitted by Mario Charest on Fri, 05/08/2020 - 12:21

Version: 2020-03
Ubuntu 20.04
openjdk 11.0.7

Missing node:
Could not find node.js. This will result in editors missing key features.
Please make sure node.js is installed and that your PATH environment variable contains the location to the `node`executable.

But node is installed ( with apt install nodejs), node is in the PATH. I can start it from the shell, node lives in /usr/bin/

Suggestion?

broken and slow

  • ShellWax can't find node.js even though "which -a node", "which -a nodejs" and "which -a node,js" all report it's on my path, and other other eclipse plugins use it without issue.
  • 3 second lag when editing makes it fairly unusable.

nodejs is a prerequisite for linux

Submitted by Michael Rothermel on Tue, 04/02/2024 - 06:56

Not sure if it's mentioned anywhere but nodejs is a prerequisite for linux

The following commands works in Debian 12

  1. Check if notdejs is installed
    1. $ nodejs --version
  2. If the above returns 'command not found', install with
    1. $ sudo apt install -y nodejs
