This action provides the following functionality for GitHub Actions users:
|
|
|
|
- Optionally downloading and caching distribution of the requested Node.js version, and adding it to the PATH
|
|
- Optionally caching npm/yarn/pnpm dependencies
|
|
- Registering problem matchers for error output
|
|
- Configuring authentication for GPR or npm
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
See [action.yml](action.yml)
|
|
|
|
<!-- start usage -->
|
|
```yaml
|
|
- uses: actions/setup-node@v4
|
|
with:
|
|
# Version Spec of the version to use in SemVer notation.
|
|
# It also admits such aliases as lts/*, latest, nightly and canary builds
|
|
# Examples: 12.x, 10.15.1, >=10.15.0, lts/Hydrogen, 16-nightly, latest, node
|
|
node-version: ''
|
|
|
|
# File containing the version Spec of the version to use. Examples: package.json, .nvmrc, .node-version, .tool-versions.
|
|
# If node-version and node-version-file are both provided the action will use version from node-version.
|
|
node-version-file: ''
|
|
|
|
# Set this option if you want the action to check for the latest available version
|
|
# that satisfies the version spec.
|
|
# It will only get affect for lts Nodejs versions (12.x, >=10.15.0, lts/Hydrogen).
|
|
# Default: false
|
|
check-latest: false
|
|
|
|
# Target architecture for Node to use. Examples: x86, x64. Will use system architecture by default.
|
|
# Default: ''. The action use system architecture by default
|
|
architecture: ''
|
|
|
|
# Used to pull node distributions from https://github.com/actions/node-versions.
|
|
# Since there's a default, this is typically not supplied by the user.
|
|
# When running this action on github.com, the default value is sufficient.
|
|
# When running on GHES, you can pass a personal access token for github.com if you are experiencing rate limiting.
|
|
#
|
|
# We recommend using a service account with the least permissions necessary. Also
|
|
# when generating a new PAT, select the least scopes necessary.

<!-- end usage -->

|
|
**Basic:**
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
steps:
|
|
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
|
|
- uses: actions/setup-node@v4
|
|
with:
|
|
node-version: 18
|
|
- run: npm ci
|
|
- run: npm test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `node-version` input is optional. If not supplied, the node version from PATH will be used. However, it is recommended to always specify Node.js version and don't rely on the system one.
|
|
|
|
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/).
|
|
|
|
For information regarding locally cached versions of Node.js on GitHub hosted runners, check out [GitHub Actions Runner Images](https://github.com/actions/runner-images).
|
|
|
|
### Supported version syntax
|
|
|
|
The `node-version` input supports the Semantic Versioning Specification, for more detailed examples please refer to [the semver package documentation](https://github.com/npm/node-semver).
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
- Major versions: `18`, `20`
|
|
- More specific versions: `10.15`, `16.15.1` , `18.4.0`
|
|
- NVM LTS syntax: `lts/erbium`, `lts/fermium`, `lts/*`, `lts/-n`
|
|
- Latest release: `*` or `latest`/`current`/`node`
|
|
|
|
**Note:** Like the other values, `*` will get the latest [locally-cached Node.js version](https://github.com/actions/runner-images/blob/main/images/ubuntu/Ubuntu2204-Readme.md#nodejs), or the latest version from [actions/node-versions](https://github.com/actions/node-versions/blob/main/versions-manifest.json), depending on the [`check-latest`](docs/advanced-usage.md#check-latest-version) input.
|
|
|
|
`current`/`latest`/`node` always resolve to the latest [dist version](https://nodejs.org/dist/index.json).
|
|
That version is then downloaded from actions/node-versions if possible, or directly from Node.js if not.
|
|
Since it will not be cached always, there is possibility of hitting rate limit when downloading from dist
|
|
|
|
### Checking in lockfiles
|
|
|
|
It's **always** recommended to commit the lockfile of your package manager for security and performance reasons. For more information consult the "Working with lockfiles" section of the [Advanced usage](docs/advanced-usage.md#working-with-lockfiles) guide.
|
|
|
|
## Caching global packages data
|
|
|
|
The action has a built-in functionality for caching and restoring dependencies. It uses [actions/cache](https://github.com/actions/cache) under the hood for caching global packages data but requires less configuration settings. Supported package managers are `npm`, `yarn`, `pnpm` (v6.10+). The `cache` input is optional, and caching is turned off by default.
|
|
|
|
The action defaults to search for the dependency file (`package-lock.json`, `npm-shrinkwrap.json` or `yarn.lock`) in the repository root, and uses its hash as a part of the cache key. Use `cache-dependency-path` for cases when multiple dependency files are used, or they are located in different subdirectories.
|
|
|
|
**Note:** The action does not cache `node_modules`
|
|
|
|
See the examples of using cache for `yarn`/`pnpm` and `cache-dependency-path` input in the [Advanced usage](docs/advanced-usage.md#caching-packages-data) guide.
|
|
|
|
**Caching npm dependencies:**
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
steps:
|
|
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
|
|
- uses: actions/setup-node@v4
|
|
with:
|
|
node-version: 20
|
|
cache: 'npm'
|
|
- run: npm ci
|
|
- run: npm test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Caching npm dependencies in monorepos:**
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
steps:
|
|
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
|
|
- uses: actions/setup-node@v4
|
|
with:
|
|
node-version: 20
|
|
cache: 'npm'
|
|
cache-dependency-path: subdir/package-lock.json
|
|
- run: npm ci
|
|
- run: npm test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Matrix Testing
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
jobs:
|
|
build:
|
|
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
|
|
strategy:
|
|
matrix:
|
|
node: [ 14, 16, 18 ]
|
|
name: Node ${{ matrix.node }} sample
|
|
steps:
|
|
- uses: actions/checkout@v4
|
|
- name: Setup node
|
|
uses: actions/setup-node@v4
|
|
with:
|
|
node-version: ${{ matrix.node }}
|
|
- run: npm ci
|
|
- run: npm test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Using `setup-node` on GHES
|
|
|
|
`setup-node` comes pre-installed on the appliance with GHES if Actions is enabled. When dynamically downloading Nodejs distributions, `setup-node` downloads distributions from [`actions/node-versions`](https://github.com/actions/node-versions) on github.com (outside of the appliance). These calls to `actions/node-versions` are made via unauthenticated requests, which are limited to [60 requests per hour per IP](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/overview/resources-in-the-rest-api#rate-limiting). If more requests are made within the time frame, then you will start to see rate-limit errors during downloading that looks like: `##[error]API rate limit exceeded for...`. After that error the action will try to download versions directly from the official site, but it also can have rate limit so it's better to put token.
|
|
|
|
To get a higher rate limit, you can [generate a personal access token on github.com](https://github.com/settings/tokens/new) and pass it as the `token` input for the action:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
uses: actions/setup-node@v4
|
|
with:
|
|
token: ${{ secrets.GH_DOTCOM_TOKEN }}
|
|
node-version: 20
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If the runner is not able to access github.com, any Nodejs versions requested during a workflow run must come from the runner's tool cache. See "[Setting up the tool cache on self-hosted runners without internet access](https://docs.github.com/en/enterprise-server@3.2/admin/github-actions/managing-access-to-actions-from-githubcom/setting-up-the-tool-cache-on-self-hosted-runners-without-internet-access)" for more information.
