notion healthcheck

[stefanpenner]

Leaving some notes here, so I (or someone else with time) can circle back and write up a real RFC.

notion healthcheck

Goals

• catch common issues
• provide resolutions for common issues

Some Common Issues

• <path/to/notion/stuff>/bin/ is not on the $PATH
• a notion provided binstub is being shadowed by some other binary: example:

  $ which -a node
   /usr/local/bin/node
   /Users/spenner/.notion/bin/node
  

• on windows, we have 2 sets of environment variables. Specifically, System Path entries override user Path entries. This can cause user confusion, so being able to detect this and provide steps to resolve will be handy.

note: there are likely more, but the above $PATH issue seems like a common and easy to correct issue

Alternatives

Ensure each common problem is not possible, thereby not requiring a health check.
