Testing Against Multiple Node Versions about action HOT 2 CLOSED

Thanks for opening this issue! This is definitely a bug conceptually, sorry about that!

I think the solution here would have to be to do something like:

• Use the node-version specified as part of volta install node@<the version> to change the default / global node to the specified version (this is what we do now)
• IFF the project has a top level package.json we run volta pin node@<the version> (this is the fix for the issue you reported)

from action.

That makes sense to me! I wasn't sure if the node-version setting was only supposed to be used to pre-download a particular Node version, but it honestly doesn't make a whole lot of sense to download it if it isn't used!

In the meantime, it should be possible to solve it like this I think, right?

name: Verify

on: [push]

jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    strategy:
      matrix:
        node-version: [6.7.0, 12.16.1]
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v1
      - uses: volta-cli/action@v1
      - name: Switch Node version
        run: volta pin node@${{ matrix.node-version }}
      - run: yarn install
      - run: yarn test

I no longer actually need to do this on the project I originally tried this on, but I would love to see this supported. I'm really loving Volta and have started using it pretty heavily!
