Description

This is a short task list for changing the plugin to use a Build Service to provide the Node.js/npm/yarn download/setup instead of the current task setup.

  • Download Node.js
  • Install Node.js
  • Detect pre-installed Node.js
    • Detect node on PATH
    • Detect node in common locations (e.g. nvm)
  • Cache found Node.js installations
  • Support short version numbers (e.g. 16.4 or 16)
  • Add support in tasks
    • NodeTask
    • NpmSetupTask
    • NpmTask

Research direction

Start with the unchecked checklist items for pre-installed Node.js detection, caching, short version numbers, and task support. Review NodeTask, NpmSetupTask, and NpmTask, then verify that the Build Service supplies the required Node.js/npm/yarn setup and all listed tasks are supported.
