NodeTool@0 - Node.js tool installer v0 task

Use this task to find, download, and cache a specified version of Node.js and add it to the PATH.

Inputs

versionSpec - Version Spec
string. Required. Default value: 6.x.

Specifies the version spec of the version to get. Examples: 6.x, 4.x, 6.10.0, >=6.10.0.

checkLatest - Check for Latest Version
boolean. Default value: false.

Specifies the agent to check for the latest available version that satisfies the version spec. For example, you select this option because you run this build on your self-hosted agent, and you want to always use the latest 6.x version.

Tip

If you're using the Microsoft-hosted agents, you should leave this set to false. Microsoft updates the Microsoft-hosted agents on a regular basis, but they're often slightly behind the latest version. Enabling this parameter could result in your build spending a lot of time updating to a newer minor version.
