Cannot run program "git": error=2

[raicesg]

I get this error when running the intellij sbt Console but not from the the CLI. Is there a problem running system commands with the idea plug-in?

[error] java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "git": error=2, No such file or directory [error] Use 'last' for the full log.

This is related to https://github.com/orfjackal/idea-sbt-plugin/issues/83

Unfortunately there is no way to set the PATH variable for the idea-sbt-plugin, which means that in most cases it pretty much never picks up any executables (and in this case it also includes). I am having the same issue in different situation

As a workaround, you can set environment variables for IntelliJ itself, which will be inherited.

On Mac, I've edited /private/etc/paths to add /usr/local/bin. (Use at your own risk though.)

More info on environment variables for Mac.

On Windows its much easier to configure PATH globally.

Hi, in my case it doesn't seem to be a PATH issue, since the directory is taken ok: my error is "Cannot run program "git" (in directory "/usr/local/bin"): error=2, No such file or directory". Of course /usr/local/bin/git exists and is executable.
