Description

Node Executable Path

FDNODE_INP_NODE_EXE_PATH

No

An absolute path to a Node executable. If

provided this will override the Node version input.Install Node VersionFDNODE_INP_NODE_VERSIONNoIf selected FlexDeploy will install this version of node if it doesn't already exist and use this for plugin execution. Possible versions include: v14, v13, v12, v11, v10, v8, v6, v4. FlexDeploy will install the latest version of the major release specified.

not provided node must be on PATH.

Working Directory

FDNODE_INP_WORKING_DIRECTORY

No

A relative path to a directory to execute

The working directory where the node commands

in

will be executed. This

will

path can be absolute or relative

to the temp directory.Artifacts to SaveFDNODE_INP_ARTIFACTS_TO_SAVENoA relative path to a directory to save as an artifact for build workflows. This path

. If relative the path will be relative to the temp directory. If not provided

no artifact will be created. You can specify the entire temp directory by entering a dot (.) in the input.Global NPM PackagesFDNODE_INP_GLOBAL_NPM_PACKAGESNoA comma separated list of NPM packages to be installed globally for the Node JS installation. 

directory containing package.json will be used.

Node Commands

FDNODE_INP_NODE_COMMANDS

Yes

The script of commands to be executed with the specified installation of Node JS.

Artifacts to Save

FDNODE_INP_ARTIFACTS_TO_SAVE

No

This path will be relative to working directory. Use '.' notation to save the entire working directory. If no value is provided no artifacts will be saved. If produces artifacts is false, no artifacts will be created.

Artifacts

This operation delegates the consume/produce artifacts decision to the workflow developer.

...

This operation will select all available endpoints associated to the environment/instancetarget.

Endpoint Execution 

This operation will execute on any one of the selected endpoints and will be random in the determination of which one.

Special Considerations

If Node Executable Path is given FlexDeploy expects that a version of node is installed at this location. An exception will be thrown otherwise. If the Node Executable path is provided this will override the Node version input and Node will not automatically be installed. If neither Node executable path nor Node install version input is provided it is expected that Node is on the PATH. 

If FlexDeploy installs NodeJS it will be installed at our default location {FLEXDEPLOY_BASE_INSTALL_DIR}/installs/nodejs/{NODE_INSTALL_VERSION} (e.g /var/tmp/flexdeploy/installs/nodejs/v14).
