I am looking for a nexus-compliant repository where I can get a node installer (a nexus-compliant alternative to http://nodejs.org/dist/.
Context :
In a java environment, our builds are processed by maven. Recently we add a javascript frontend app and I am trying to get it built via maven with the excellent plugin frontend-maven-plugin.
The plugin installs node and npm, then run npm install and grunt build.
Everything works perfectly.
But we MUST put all our dependencies under nexus (or some locally proxified repository).
About frontend dependencies: no problem since nexus 2.10 supports the npm registries. It works.
About the node and npm installers, they are initially downloaded from http://nodejs.org/dist/ by the plugin, and I do not know how to locally proxify this repo ... or where I can find theses installers on a nexus-compliant's one.
Any suggestions ?
Thx.
I would suggest to create a pull request/patch for the frontend plugin that allows you to add a full url for npm and node rather than just the version and the root url. Then you can host the two installed e.g. by uploading them to Nexus into a Maven 2 repository and using that URL. I filed an issue for that btw. https://github.com/eirslett/frontend-maven-plugin/issues/126
Alternatively could try to create a site repository in Nexus with the same structure and use that.
