Plugin on Windows attempts to download Linux version about gradle-node-plugin HOT 5 CLOSED

Actually it's fetching the linux tar.gz dependency only for NPM and other node resources. The EXE (node.exe) is still windows. I should probably have written a comment about this since it sounds wierd, but it actually works. Does it not work for you?

I am running on a Windows 7 Enterprise box, and it attempts to pull the Linux version

Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':nodeDist'.
> Could not find org.nodejs:node:0.10.38.
  Searched in the following locations:
http://{artifactory}/artifactory/{repo}/org/nodejs/node/v0.10.38/ivy.xml
http://{artifactory}/artifactory/{repo}/org/nodejs/node/v0.10.38/node-v0.10.38-linux-x86.tar.gz

We have it configured as...

node {
    version = '0.10.38'
    distBaseUrl = 'http://{artifactory}/artifactory/{repo}/org/nodejs/node'
    download = true
    workDir = file("${buildDir}/nodejs")
}

Right, if you try to comment out the "distBaseUrl" option and try again, does it work? It actually needs the resources inside the linux version for things to work. It also needs the node.exe. Since node does not distribute an official (zip or tar) archive for windows I need to rely on the linux version.

So, to get this to work with your setup, you will have to publish the linux archive to your artifactory repo.

Ok, I'm following now better. Thanks for the clarification. It does work without providing the distBaseUrl.

I think I tracked it down to an x86 versus our repository having an x64 instance only. So for Windows you only pull the 32-bit tar dependency, but still use the 64-bit Windows compiled version. I can see how that confused us when importing some of the libraries!

Thanks for the help.

Yes, it can be confusing. I see that now and will try to write a FAQ when I get the time to do it.

I am glad that that it worked out ok. Happy to answer any questions :-)
