Buildship gradle eclipse fails on bower task

I’m using nvm to manage my npm installations on OSX and eclipse doesn’t pick up my nvm/npm paths so bower tasks in my jhipster gradle build fail.

Any ideas on how to resolve this?

Here’s the error:

org.gradle.api.tasks.TaskExecutionException: Execution failed for task ‘:bower’.

getting the same error here. using jhipster and spring-boot. any update or workaround for this?

I think this is a more general problem with environment variables in GUI applications. You can try out this suggestion from StackOverflow.

I assume some plugin you are using just hardcodes a call to bower? This is bad practice in my opinion. The location of the executable should be configurable, so you can override it, e.g. with gradle.properties.

Solved this using the same solution I had for Intellij when it exhibited the same problem. It amounts to telling MacOS to run your bash profile script before running the app so eclipse picks up your paths properly. Here’s my stack overflow post. It points to another stack overflow post where the solution is detailed. These talk about Intellij, but extrapolate to eclipse and it will work. I just tested it.
