How to run ng build as a Custom Process in Qt Creator?

Hi,

I would like to run the Angular ng build command as a Custom process but it says Could not start process where I can perfectly run it manually in a Terminal.

The ng command is actually a symlink in /usr/bin/ng pointing to ~/MyProject/ui/node_modules/@angular/cli/bin/ng and it's a Node.js script I suppose (I'm quite new with it).

Is there a way to make it works? Do I need to specify env variables?

Hi @cyrilfr,

in newer Creator versions, you can right-click on a file in the project tree, and Open Terminal with Build Environment from there.

What happens if you run ng build from such a terminal?

Regards

OK I found that I've to set ng as command and build as arguments of course...
