NVM command not found from bamboo plan but works in local

Question

Hi There,

I have installed NVM in my ubuntu build agent. I am able to use nvm and node commands in my local.

But when I run nvm or node commands from bamboo plan, Plan fails with error as node command not found. Same for nvm also.

When I use full path for node it works.

/opt/bamboo-agent-home/.nvm/versions/node/v12.21.0/bin/node -v

But nvm is not working. please suggest.

Error : 
/opt/bamboo-agent-home/temp/TEST-SCR-LT-71-ScriptBuildTask-47945519012.sh: 9: /opt/bamboo-agent-home/temp/TEST-SCR-LT-71-ScriptBuildTask-47945519012.sh: nvm: not found

Hi @Shashank Kumar ,

By adding this I can see nvm version, When I use node command again it says command not found. In local can see node version. and it can be managed by only "nvm use --delete-prefix v16.20.2"  simple nvm use 16 command is not working.

It throws error as below.

bam:~$ nvm use 16
nvm is not compatible with the npm config "prefix" option: currently set to "/data/home/bambooagent/.nvm/versions/node/v16.20.2"
Run `nvm use --delete-prefix v16.20.2` to unset it.
bam:~$

node command error : 848876677.sh: node: not found

Hello Mahesh,

nvm is a shell function and not a shell executable file so you'll not be able to add it as a executable.

There are few options which you can work with.

1. Add the below entry in .profile file in your linux box.

export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"

2. Or add it in the script task ( like attached )

When you run this script task, you should be able to see the results.
