Description
The module doesn't return the correct path when running as a self-executable process (not directly using node).
This happens due to the usage of process.execPath which is assumed to return node/node.exe but that isn't always the case.
Steps to reproduce:
- Install
pkgglobally:npm i -g pkg - Install
global-prefixlocally - Create a new file
myApp.js, type inconsole.log(require('global-prefix')) - Run
node index.js-> You get something like/usr/bin/or/Users/MY_USERNAME/.nvm/versions/node/v14.20.0 - Now create a self-executable file for the local project:
pkg myApp.js -t linux/pkg myApp.js -t macos/ whatever.. - Run the newly created
myApp/myApp.exe-> Unexepected result, something like:C:\Users\myApp.exe. The expected result is the global directory where NodeJS sits.
A proposed solution would be to explicitly search for node executable (like this library does with npm) instead of using process.execPath.
