npm - Runtime node version is different than what node -v returns - husky can't run git hooks

Question

Husky requires Node 10 (runtime: v8.10.0), can't run Git hook.

node -v: v12.20.1 sudo node -v: v8.10.0

Anyone know how to remedy this or what is actually going on? I'm not able to use git at all from phpstorm because of this.

Answer 1

When being launched from desktop/System menu/Toolbox, WebStorm only sees environment variables configured in login shell, but not in interactive shell configuration files (like .bashrc or .zshrc), so the environment (including $PATH) is different from the one you have in terminal. Possible solutions:

• Workaround 1: make required variables available in a login shell by moving them to the corresponding shell profile config
• Workaround 2: run IDE from a terminal to make it inherit terminal environment
