Environment
- WSL2 Ubuntu 20.04 from Windows 10 Home
- Linux .Net Core 3.1
- Node 12.18.3 + NPM 6.14.6 + Yarn 1.22.5
Problem
I'm following the SAFE Stack quick start but the FAKE build script fails:
$ dotnet fake build --target run
But FAKE cannot find the npm binary:
Target Duration
------ --------
Clean 00:00:00.0053439
InstallClient 00:00:00.1517122 (npm was not found in path. Please install it and make sure it's available from your path. See https://safe-stack.github.io/docs/quickstart/#install-pre-requisites for more info)
Question
By inserting debug messages, it seems that the FAKE build.fsx script resolves the PATH from the hosting Windows, not from the WSL2 Linux environment:
DEBUG: Some "C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\ls.EXE"
Sample from the script:
// My Debug
printfn "DEBUG: %A" (ProcessUtils.tryFindFileOnPath "ls")
// The actual script
let npmPath =
match ProcessUtils.tryFindFileOnPath "npm" with
| Some path -> path
| None ->
"npm was not found in path. Please install it and make sure it's available from your path. "
+ "See https://safe-stack.github.io/docs/quickstart/#install-pre-requisites for more info"

=> Is it a bug or I'm missing something here? (I'm quite new to .Net and F#)
