I use GitLab and I have several projects using different versions of node. I came across the nvm-windows project, and installed it on my local machine to try it out.
$ nvm install 14.18.0
$ nvm use 14.18.0
raises an exception:
exit status 1: You do not have sufficient privilege to perform this operation.
I installed the nvm package without admin priviledges into the HOME directory, so no system path is involved. I believe that mklink is to blame here as this is used to create some symbolic links.
This would mean, that I need to run the Gitlab client in admin rights, but I want to avoid this. What would be the most common approach to use a pipeline with different node versions?
As it has been said here, just execute the following line and make sure it is git-tracked to solve the problem.
node --version > .nvmrc
and Add the following line to the package.json file:
"scripts": {
"v": "node -v"
}
