Prefer user's NodeJs version

Plugin Type

JetBrains Plugin

App Version

4.121.1

Description

I have error:

Current Node.js (/usr/bin/node) version is v19.9.0, please upgrade to 20.6.0 or higher for better compatibility.

Minimal node version for kilocode must be higher 20.6. System version for Node.js (/usr/bin/node) version is v19.9.0. Userland node, installed by nvm is 24.11.1, but kilocode ignored it. Please consider the option to use the user's nodejs rather than the system version.

/home/zulufoxtrot/.nvm/versions/node/v22.12.0/bin/node

I think Kilocode references /usr/bin/node directly, which overrides the path set in PATH by nvm.

same for me Current Node.js (/Users/USERNAME/.nvm/versions/node/v18.6.0/bin/node) version is v18.6.0, please upgrade to 20.6.0 or higher for better compatibility. my system is using node 22. Macbook pro m3

I fixed it by upgrating the node version of my system nvm alias default 22 and the IDE node version under settings > languages & Frameworks > node.js to newer node version and also check coding assistance for node.js
