Plugin doesn't work when npm isn't globally installed

[rachid-o]

When npm is globally installed everything works fine. But when using a local npm, the task npmSetup fails with the error:

21702 error Linux 3.13.0-86-generic
21703 error argv "/home/vagrant/share/npm-test/.gradle/nodejs/node-v6.2.1-linux-x64/bin/node" "/home/vagrant/share/npm-test/.gradle/nodejs/node-v6.2.1-linux-x64/lib/node_modules/npm/bin/npm-cli.js" "install" "[email protected]"

21711 error enoent This is most likely not a problem with npm itself
21711 error enoent and is related to npm not being able to find a file.
21712 verbose exit [ -2, true ]

build.gradle:

plugins {
  id "com.moowork.node" version "0.13"
}

node {
  version = '6.2.1'
  npmVersion = '3.9.3'
  download = true
}

The name of my project is npm-test and it (obviously) does not contain a node_modules folder. I think it should use the npm installed in npm-test\.gradle\nodejs\node-v6.2.1-linux-x64\lib\node_modules\npm

Is it possible that this PR fixes my problem: https://github.com/srs/gradle-node-plugin/pull/78 Otherwise other suggestions to resolve this?

I have this issue on a Linux Machine. When I run on Windows and (download = true in build.gradle) it succeeds. Please mind that on Windows I have npm installed globally. But I assume it uses the local one because of this message: npm WARN prefer global [email protected] should be installed with -g

Hi! Is there any update for this ticket?

Is this still an issue? I got a local node install and use both this plugin and the community fork just fine
