undefined method `split' for nil:NilClass

[VTDuyen1]

Hi everybody!
I am having the problem:

 var shell = require('shelljs');
 shell.exec('flick video -p ios -a start -u b540e68bbffcc1bb08bd518f7696a655acb9fc05');

Does anyone have a solution to this problem? I was really worried when it took 2 work days to find the answer to it.

Hi @VTDuyen1 - It looks like the code is failing because your PATH environment variable is coming back nil/null. If you open a termnial on this same machine and do a echo $PATH. Do you see any results?

[isonic1]

@VTDuyen1 this particular code is checking to make sure you have the required dependencies installed before it can start the process. I can add an override to ignore the checks if for whatever reason the machine you're using doesn't have a $PATH which it technically should always.

Hi @isonic1, I get the result:
➜ runtime git:(7280b65947) ✗ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

Please tell me what this PATH is missing. I really need "flick" to record the automated testing process, so I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Hi @isonic1 , Can you tell me if I am missing any environment variables?
