ECC_NASIKO_CLI_EXECUTABLE must be an absolute path.

Error message

ECC_NASIKO_CLI_EXECUTABLE must be an absolute path.

What it means

resolveExecutable validates the ECC_NASIKO_CLI_EXECUTABLE override: when set, it must be an absolute path because it is joined/spawned directly. A relative path here would resolve against an unpredictable working directory.

Solutions

1. Fix the path/URL/value so it satisfies the validation rule stated in the message.

When it happens

Trigger: Triggered when nasiko.js rejects the current invocation: ECC_NASIKO_CLI_EXECUTABLE must be an absolute path.

Common situations: Occurs while running scripts/nasiko.js with invalid arguments, missing flags, or a failing external dependency; the guard at scripts/nasiko.js:75 aborts the command with this message.
