it sounds like IntelliJ can't find your Node.js executable

[rinoldsimon]

why does it happen at alternate number of time? However i specified node path under
preference -> languages & frameworks -> node.js and npm

I don't know...

preference -> languages & frameworks -> node.js and npm

I think we might not use that path but instead look for a global node binary. @makepanic might know this?

Yes we execute the node_modules/.bin/ember executable directly.
I guess on your system #!/usr/bin/env node returns nothing.

Maybe it's a good idea to also check if we can access the global node binary.

I use nvm. So in my node interpreter my path will be ~/.nvm/versions/node/v8.9.4/bin/node.

As @Turbo87 mentioned that the addon doesn't use node interpreter path but instead it looks at node_modules/.bin/ember serve directly and this behaviour breaks sometimes and throws env: node: No such file or directory
