Description
I want to use gradle-node-plugin to install node on alpine linux. Using this advice https://github.com/node-gradle/gradle-node-plugin/issues/51#issuecomment-623097695 combined with this https://github.com/node-gradle/gradle-node-plugin/blob/main/docs/faq.md#is-this-plugin-compatible-with-centralized-repositories-declaration I managed to get a working configuration that downloads the correct binary package from https://unofficial-builds.nodejs.org/download/release/v18.16.1/node-v18.16.1-linux-x64-musl.tar.gz
build.gradle:
node {
download = true
version = "18.16.1"
distBaseUrl = null;
}
}
settings.gradle
dependencyResolutionManagement {
repositories {
repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.PREFER_SETTINGS)
// Declare the Node.js download repository
ivy {
name = "Node.js"
setUrl("https://unofficial-builds.nodejs.org/download/release/")
patternLayout {
artifact("v[revision]/[artifact](-v[revision]-linux-x64-musl).[ext]")
}
metadataSources {
artifact()
}
content {
includeModule("org.nodejs", "node")
}
}
}
}
However, npmInstall fails since it tries to look for the binary in the wrong directory. Can I do something to fix this?
> Task :clean
> Task :nodeSetup
> Task :npmSetup SKIPPED
> Task :npmInstall FAILED
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':npmInstall'.
> A problem occurred starting process 'command '/mydir/frontend/.gradle/nodejs/node-v18.16.1-linux-x64/bin/node''
Binary is in node-v18.16.1-linux-x64-musl, not in node-v18.16.1-linux-x64.

Research direction
Start with the build.gradle and settings.gradle configuration, then trace the nodeSetup and npmInstall tasks and the .gradle/nodejs installation path. Compare the expected node-v18.16.1-linux-x64 directory with the downloaded node-v18.16.1-linux-x64-musl archive; done means npmInstall starts the downloaded binary successfully on Alpine.
