NodeJS Plugin - unable to install global NPM packages for node 6.x

[Adriano Raiano]

Does someone have an update for this issue? https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-34815

I really need to update to node 6.x on our CI/CD pipeline...

[Adriano Raiano]

my temporary workaround:

Add Installer -> Run Shell Command:

NODE_VERSION="v6.2.1"
NPM_PACKAGES="mo...@2.x.x grun...@0.1.x bo...@1.x.x gu...@3.x.x p...@1.x.x"


if [ ! -f ./${NODE_VERSION} ]; then
  rm -rf ./*
  # dl & install
  wget https://nodejs.org/dist/${NODE_VERSION}/node-${NODE_VERSION}-linux-x64.tar.gz
  tar xzf node-${NODE_VERSION}-linux-x64.tar.gz
  mv node-${NODE_VERSION}-linux-x64/* .
  rm -rf node-${NODE_VERSION}-linux-x64*
  touch ${NODE_VERSION}
fi


PATH=${PWD}/bin:${PATH} npm -g install ${NPM_PACKAGES}
