Example Playbook

- hosts: servers
  roles:
    - role: drunomics.nvm
      nvm_version: 0.33.2
      nvm_node_version: 6.10.*

Usage

For npm and node executables to be found, nvm needs to alter the PATH. The role does so by altering ~/.bashrc. If system-wide installation is enabled, the global bashrc and /etc/environment is adapted.

However, ansible does not always pick the changed PATH variable up; e.g. when using the docker connection plugin. To make use of npm in ansible, the PATH variable must be adjusted accordingly. The role provides the fact nvm_bin_dir such that it can be done as follows:

  shell: echo "This works with every task."
  environment:
    PATH: "{{ nvm_bin_dir }}:{{ ansible_env.PATH }}"
