Trying to convert a selected style.css file into a style.styl file. I have installed NodeJS and css2stylus.
Should be quite simple? The command in Terminal is:
css2stylus path/to/style.css
I read from this post on how to add the $PATH variable. Can get connected through KM with this simple path:
css2stylus -v
Got any ideas what I am doing wrong? I keep on getting this error:
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/css2stylus/bin/css2stylus:97
throw new Error('Input file must be css!');
^
Error: Input file must be css!

Thanks for tip, I am using the window, the error I posted is from that window.
When I do your command, I get: /usr/local/bin/css2stylus
Which should be correct. Doing this in the Terminal works:
css2stylus /path/to/style.css
It outputs a style.styl file in my home directory. If I do this in KM:
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH;
css2stylus --v
Then it returns 0.3.0. The version. Which means that it works. So must be $KMVAR_Path. Tried checking what it outputs:
/var/folders/9p/v1b392hs56gg9b9grsg326v40000gx/T/Keyboard-Maestro-Script-6B654087-CDDF-4F64-B68F-972EED09ED49: line 1: /Users/XXX/style.css: Permission denied
Who can say? Post the macro, so we can look at it.
Select your CSS file in the Finder, and run this script from Script Editor.app:
------------------------------------------------------------
tell application "Finder"
set fSel to selection as alias list
if fSel ≠ {} then
set f to first item of fSel
else
beep
return
end if
end tell
set f to POSIX path of f
set shCMD to text 2 thru -1 of "
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH;
css2stylus " & quoted form of f
do shell script shCMD
------------------------------------------------------------
If it works then we can definitely get the Keyboard Maestro version working.
If it does NOT work then it's possible there are environment issues to contend with.
Here is the error that your code from Script Editor produced:
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/css2stylus/bin/css2stylus:59
var output = converter.processCss(options).getStylus();
^
TypeError: converter.processCss(...).getStylus is not a function

You can drag macros and images into the KM Forum editor to post them; it will accept any web-valid image type, KM file type, or zip file.
You can also use the share button in the KM Editor Toolbar. Click it, select 'Keyboard Maestro Forum', Click the {Both} button. Let the new topic appear in your browser. Copy the result. Cancel the new topic, and paste the data into the topic where you want it.
Run this from the Terminal and post the result (it'll be in the clipboard):
echo $PATH | pbcopy
You only had "$KMVAR_fileName" in your Execute a Shell Script action, so you were literally telling it to execute the file in the given path. No wonder it was having a hissy fit.
As for the other problem – I want to see what the path looks like before speculating further.
You've apparently missed the fact that KM establishes a brand new Terminal environment when it runs, and it does not use any of the preferences established for Terminal.app – no .profile – no nothing.
This is also true of AppleScript.
There are ways to load your environment, but I don't remember off the top of my head.
If you run:
echo $PATH
From a Keyboard Maestro Execute a Shell Script action – to a text window you'll see it does not compare to what you got from the Terminal app.
Breaking up your path I find there is one duplicate:
