installing node on jenkins 2.0 using the pipeline plugin

Question

I am running the following docker image jenkinsci/jenkins:2.0-rc-1 to try out jenkins 2.0, and the \"pipeline\" view.

I can\'t seem to install node. Here\'s

Answer 1

Either

node {
  withEnv(["PATH+NODE=${tool name: 'node-5.10.1', type: 'jenkins.plugins.nodejs.tools.NodeJSInstallation'}/bin"]) {
    sh 'node -v'
  }
}

or

node {
  def nodeHome = tool name: 'node-5.10.1', type: 'jenkins.plugins.nodejs.tools.NodeJSInstallation'
  sh "${nodeHome}/bin/node -v"
}

should work. See JENKINS-28718 for further proposals.

By the way you can omit the type parameter and just use

tool 'node-5.10.1'

for brevity.
