Upgrading node to version 12.15.0 build failure

[induja0107]

I tried changing node version to 12.15.0 and the build fails. 12.13.1 version of node works fine. Does the gradle-node-plugin need to be updated to support latest node version? Or is there a way i can use the 12.15.0 using the 1.1.0 of the gradle-node-plugin?

How did the build fail?
I can't think of anything that should break

it fails with latest Gradle 6.x release for every node.js version since 12.x

Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 7.0.
Use '--warning-mode all' to show the individual deprecation warnings.
See https://docs.gradle.org/6.1.1/userguide/command_line_interface.html#sec:command_line_warnings

but it works with latest 5.x release

Same problem here

I found a solution / workaround last night. It's using node-gradle plugin to download node/yarn/npm but on top of that gradle-node-plugin tasks.

import com.moowork.gradle.node.yarn.YarnTask

plugins {
    id("com.github.node-gradle.node") version "2.2.1"
}

repositories {
    jcenter()
}

node {
    // PLEASE use node LTS version or version with even major number
    version = "12.15.0"
    yarnVersion = "1.22.0"
    download = true
}

tasks {
    val build by registering(YarnTask::class) {
        dependsOn("yarn_install")
        args = listOf("build")
    }
}

The problem is (or at least should be) Gradle 6.x, not the node version, you can see #315 for more information about the issue.
There's multiple issues/PRs about the lack of Gradle 6 support.

The plugin you're using in the solution is the fork available at https://github.com/node-gradle/gradle-node-plugin which should work fine with all available Gradle versions ;-)

[Kobe]

@deepy I didn't find any fork hints or something like that so I assumed it's a different plugin.

Do I need import com.moowork.gradle.node.yarn.YarnTask or is there another solution?

[deepy]

The fork should work fine without any workarounds, I don't think you need to import YarnTask to get this to work, simply changing to id("com.github.node-gradle.node") version "2.2.1" should be fine

[Kobe]

I don‘t think so due to you need to import YarnTasks.

Added a fork with the fix for those using earlier gradle versions (Tested with gradle 2.11).
