'Tasks: env: php: No such file or directory

I have updated to Mac OS Monterrey and the extension Better PHPUnit stopped working. This extension runs vscode tasks to make the output in colors, etc.

The error I got when running the tasks is env: php: No such file or directory. If I run the command in the console without using the task, all runs as it should, without any issues.

So investigating and trying to isolate the problem, I have created a task inside VSCODE and seems that the terminal used for tasks is picking up some other $PATH so php is not found.

I have installed PHP using Homebrew. I can execute scripts without any issue BUT when I run echo $PATH inside a task the output is different that when I run the same command in an integrated terminal.

The task I'm using to test is:

{
    "version": "2.0.0",
    "tasks": [
        {
            "label": "Run test",
            "type": "shell",
            "command": "echo $PATH",
            "group": "test",
            "presentation": {
                "reveal": "always"
            },
            "problemMatcher": []
        }
    ]
}

The output:

> Executing task: echo $PATH <

/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

And if I run the command echo $PATH in an integrated terminal I get:

/Users/xxx/.nvm/versions/node/v15.5.0/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/share/dotnet:~/.dotnet/tools:/Users/xxx/.composer/vendor/bin

Any ideas?

Solution 1:[1]

I encountered env: php: No such file or directory issue after updating brew on my mac and I followed these steps below to resolve it

Step 1:

I ran which php on my terminal to get the path to php and then opened vscode settings (Code -> Preferences -> Settings)

Step 2:

Click PHPUnit configuration under User and add the copied path to the input box labeled Phpunit: PHP (mine happened to be blank)

In your case, you can click Edit in settings.json under Extensions > PHP > Validate : Executable Path and paste the copied php path to php.validate.executablePath
