UniGetUI Version
3.1.1
Windows version, edition, and architecture
Windows 11 Pro 23H2 22631.4037 x64
Describe your issue
UniGetUI doesn't seem to recognize npm when node installation is managed by a version manager such as fnm. This is most likely due to NPM not being added to PATH which makes sense for a version manager to handle by itself. Having the ability to set the NPM path manually would solve this issue.
Steps to reproduce the issue

exactly searching for this
the way fnm works is a bit weird tbh, the node.js installs are located in the FNM_DIR env var (if set, idk the default one), and then they basically symlink to this folder and add to path dynamically per shell session on %LOCALAPPDATA%\fnm_multishells
This folder contains dozens of folders, where most of them link to nowhere, and the symlinks are created/activated at each session opening (considering that you init fnm in your Powershell profile, ex with fnm env --use-on-cd --version-file-strategy=recursive --shell power-shell | Out-String | Invoke-Expression)
so for example, here's what's in the symlinks folder when a powershell session is active :
❯❯ C:\Users\EDM115\AppData\Local\fnm_multishells
❯ ls
Directory: C:\Users\EDM115\AppData\Local\fnm_multishells

note how they point to a presumably inexistant folder.
and I believe that these junctions gets created only when fnm gets initialized from a powershell, and persists until shutdown of the pc
getting a consistent way of discovering them from UniGetUI might be hard, what do you think ?
still broken, and as far as i can tell all it would require to fix it is remove the hardcoded -NoProfile from the command args here:
https://github.com/marticliment/UniGetUI/blob/4e5804c6532bfd3cd833d9ce4973b82e8142497d/src/UniGetUI.PackageEngine.Managers.Npm/Npm.cs#L40
however you are required to setup fnm in a specific way in order for it to work, for starters you need a powershell 5 profile file (see here for location and file name and what to save in it)
you'd also need to default a version of node in fnm with fnm default <version>
and that's it, you will notice that now when you open a powershell 5 window you have the defaulted node version working, and if that argument gets removed in the future (and if this is really the only thing keeping fnm from working, i should say i didn't bother with making the modification and compiling to test), UniGetUI should work too
indeed, but what tells you that UniGetUI uses pwsh as a base executable ?
PowerShell 5/7 isn't installed by default on Windows machines, only PowerShell 2.0 is preinstalled and will work regardless of the machine (unless the user disabled himself the functionality)
@EDM115 afaik windows ships with powershell 5, you can verify with echo $PSVersionTable, at least win11 24H2 does, i just verified
also i know it uses powershell 5 and not 6 or 7 because you can see it right here, for the NPM manager Status.ExecutablePath is set here:
https://github.com/marticliment/UniGetUI/blob/4e5804c6532bfd3cd833d9ce4973b82e8142497d/src/UniGetUI.PackageEngine.Managers.Npm/Npm.cs#L194
which results in the full command being this:
Yes, Windows 10 and 11 ship with Windows PowerShell 5.0 (and modern versions already ship with Windows PowerShell 5.1), so this shouln't be the problem
@marticliment ok, my solution works to an extent, getting rid of -NoProfile made it so the commands start working, but the Found check done here https://github.com/marticliment/UniGetUI/blob/b1629a65ae38c51ab6a0fc0cfedbc103b9c31136/src/UniGetUI.PackageEngine.Managers.Npm/Npm.cs#L195
is still borking everything, so in order to test it i just hardcoded it to true and it works
the problem with the Found check are the environment variables, it checks if npm exists by spawning a new process that runs where.exe npm, problem is this check doesn't take into account the powershell profile since it skips powershell entirely and runs where.exe directly, so fnm env which is inside the powershell profile never runs, and the necessary environment variables are never modified
see here for more info on fnm env
@marticliment since #3703 doesn't resolve the FNM issue, i believe this issue should be reopened, or moved to a specific one
side note : it could allow to use other package managers which also have globally installed dependencies, like PNPM, Yarn, Deno or Bun
I don't like the idea of allowing custom paths supplied on UniGetUI, but I guess I can get UniGetUI to detect FNM and then have it show all the available npm installs
i get it, hide it behind a Super Duper Hidden Advanced users Pro Max setting 🫣
That was the idea I had; I was going to add FNM paths to the detect list but I couldn't get FNM working, so could you provide the standard paths FNM installs Node to?
@mrixner I can link you this I wrote : https://github.com/marticliment/UniGetUI/issues/2658#issuecomment-2322985299
I'll try to find tomorrow the default path
In theory, it should be as easy as modifying Npm.FindCandidateExecutableFiles() to also add those npm.ps1 files to the candidate executable list
Yes, if there's a way to figure out which of the many directories in that list contains the executable.
