does not detect npm as installed by homebrew - macOS

[StrangeNoises]

As per subject. npm is installed on my system using homebrew, but the Settings->Plugins tab does not recognise it. I suspect that might be because it's not in a login shell itself (see my other issue) and thus homebrew's path is not in $PATH.

Ive installed npm via pkg and homebrew and can confirm neither pick up

I do not know if this is the correct place for this, however I realized that I have npm installed via nvm and yet it is informing me in the plugins tab that: "NPM not installed"

which npm returns /Users/**********/.nvm/versions/node/v6.9.0/bin/npm
npm --version returns 3.10.8

@DAlperin @gotama, please retry with the current alpha, which is now runs a login shell and thus should pick up your custom $PATH automatically

Otherwise closed via #10

Not working for me in alpha 15 (apparently the latest though says 4 days old?)

npm is in /usr/local/bin/npm as installed by homebrew. This is in $PATH, being defined in /etc/paths and thus read by /usr/libexec/path_helper during the running of /etc/profile. In other respects, default login shell is working for me, which implies reading all that stuff.

Does the Settings dialogue run in a default login shell?

Same issues in alpha 18: Version 1.0.0-alpha.18 (1.0.0-alpha.18.96).

$ which npm
/usr/local/bin/npm

$ echo $PATH
/Users/pdelre/Library/Python/2.7/bin:/Users/pdelre/bin:/usr/local/opt/php70/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

$ npm -v; echo $?
5.0.3
