MacOS: unable to launch node server #128

Description

@ben

Tahoe 26.5.2. I've got nodejs installed via the official nodejs 24 installer (at /usr/local/bin/node), which should be in the $PATH for all apps (I think?).

Here's my FLC config:

That works when running from a console:

~ /usr/local/bin/node ~/Code/FoundryVTT-Node-13/main.js --dataPath=/Users/bstraub/Code/FoundryVTT_13 --port=30000
FoundryVTT | 2026-07-04 16:16:13 | [info] Running on Node.js - Version 24.18.0
FoundryVTT | 2026-07-04 16:16:13 | [info] Foundry Virtual Tabletop - Version 13 Build 351
FoundryVTT | 2026-07-04 16:16:13 | [info] User Data Directory - "/Users/bstraub/Code/FoundryVTT_13"
# ...

But in FLC, clicking the button results in nothing happening. I looked into the browser console and saw this:

Unhandled Promise Rejection: No such file or directory (os error 2)

Which looks like it's being emitted from here. I noticed that the command is trying to run a bare "node" command, which should be looking in the path, but it's not being found there.

open /Applications/FLC.app from my shell makes this work, but that's kind of unfortunate. Any ideas? Am I holding it wrong?
