Unable to find 'node' executable

[budarin]

Describe the bug

I am using nvm to install nodejs. I get this error while opening VS Code.

Why don't you use the where node command, which gives the correct path to the executable file node.exe?

Reproduction

I’ve started running into this as well. I’m using asdf for my node install and it’s at the front of my $PATH.
(The Brew’d node is a dependency for other things.)

Here’s the output from my VS Code CLI after the error had shown, and once all extensions had loaded:

❯ where node
/Users/philsherry/.local/share/asdf/shims/node
/opt/homebrew/bin/node
❯ which node
/Users/philsherry/.local/share/asdf/shims/node
❯ which -a node
/Users/philsherry/.local/share/asdf/shims/node
/opt/homebrew/bin/node
❯ command -v node
/Users/philsherry/.local/share/asdf/shims/node

Can you check if 1.9.0 works for you?

This version is not listed in the list of available versions. Current version 1.8.5

It is listed for me. Enable pre-release versions to see it.

I confirm that version 1.9.0 works without specifying the path to the node executable in the extension configuration.

This should be fixed in 1.10.0 automatically.
