## Check latest version
|
|
|
|
The `check-latest` flag defaults to `false`. When set to `false`, the action will first check the local cache for a semver match. If unable to find a specific version in the cache, the action will attempt to download a version of Node.js. It will pull LTS versions from [node-versions releases](https://github.com/actions/node-versions/releases) and on miss or failure will fall back to the previous behavior of downloading directly from [node dist](https://nodejs.org/dist/). Use the default or set `check-latest` to `false` if you prefer stability and if you want to ensure a specific version of Node.js is always used.
|
|
|
|
If `check-latest` is set to `true`, the action first checks if the cached version is the latest one. If the locally cached version is not the most up-to-date, a version of Node.js will then be downloaded. Set `check-latest` to `true` it you want the most up-to-date version of Node.js to always be used.
|
|
|
|
> Setting `check-latest` to `true` has performance implications as downloading versions of Node is slower than using cached versions.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
steps:
|
|
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
|
|
- uses: actions/setup-node@v3
|
|
with:
|
|
node-version: '14'
|
|
check-latest: true
|
|
- run: npm install
|
|
- run: npm test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Node version file
|
|
|
|
The `node-version-file` input accepts a path to a file containing the version of Node.js to be used by a project, for example `.nvmrc` or `.node-version`. If both the `node-version` and the `node-version-file` inputs are provided then the `node-version` input is used.
|
|
See [supported version syntax](https://github.com/actions/setup-node#supported-version-syntax)
|
|
> The action will search for the node version file relative to the repository root.
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
steps:
|
|
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
|
|
- uses: actions/setup-node@v3
|
|
with:
|
|
node-version-file: '.nvmrc'
|
|
- run: npm install
|
|
- run: npm test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Architecture
|
|
|
|
You can use any of the [supported operating systems](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/virtual-environments-for-github-hosted-runners), and the compatible `architecture` can be selected using `architecture`. Values are `x86`, `x64`, `arm64`, `armv6l`, `armv7l`, `ppc64le`, `s390x` (not all of the architectures are available on all platforms).
|
|
|
|
When using `architecture`, `node-version` must be provided as well.
|
|
```yaml
|
|
jobs:
|
|
build:
|
|
runs-on: windows-latest
|
|
name: Node sample
|
|
steps:
|
|
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
|
|
- uses: actions/setup-node@v3
|
|
with:
|
|
node-version: '14'
|
|
architecture: 'x64' # optional, x64 or x86. If not specified, x64 will be used by default
|
|
- run: npm install
|
|
- run: npm test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Caching packages data
|
|
The action follows [actions/cache](https://github.com/actions/cache/blob/main/examples.md#node---npm) guidelines, and caches global cache on the machine instead of `node_modules`, so cache can be reused between different Node.js versions.
|
|
|
|
**Caching yarn dependencies:**
|
|
Yarn caching handles both yarn versions: 1 or 2.
|
|
```yaml
|
|
steps:
|
|
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
|
|
- uses: actions/setup-node@v3
|
|
with:
|
|
node-version: '14'
|
|
cache: 'yarn'
|
|
- run: yarn install
|
|
- run: yarn test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Caching pnpm (v6.10+) dependencies:**
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# This workflow uses actions that are not certified by GitHub.
|
|
# They are provided by a third-party and are governed by
|
|
# separate terms of service, privacy policy, and support
|
|
# documentation.
|
|
|
|
# NOTE: pnpm caching support requires pnpm version >= 6.10.0
|
|
|
|
steps:
|
|
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
|
|
- uses: pnpm/action-setup@646cdf48217256a3d0b80361c5a50727664284f2
|
|
with:
|
|
version: 6.10.0
|
|
- uses: actions/setup-node@v3
|
|
with:
|
|
node-version: '14'
|
|
cache: 'pnpm'
|
|
- run: pnpm install
|
|
- run: pnpm test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Using wildcard patterns to cache dependencies**
|
|

|
node-version: '14'
|
|
cache: 'npm'
|
|
cache-dependency-path: '**/package-lock.json'
|
|
- run: npm install
|
|
- run: npm test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Using a list of file paths to cache dependencies**

|
|
- uses: actions/setup-node@v3
