Change registry url in gradle node plugin

Question

I am using gradle with gradle-node-plugin. The problem is that I don't have access to public registers so node cannot download anything from https://registry.npmjs.org/. I need to use nexus as proxy butt don't know how to change url to which npm is pointing. Does anyone know the solution?

Maybe you can create a task that runs `npm config set registry ...` ? — RaGe, Feb 19 '16 at 16:50

I believe the Gradle Node Plugin executes npm itself to resolve modules so just updating your .npmrc with registry=https://npm.yourcompany.com ought to work.

Note that this is basically what npm config set registry does, as RaGe suggested in his comment.

where should the npmrc be in relation to the project or build for the gradle node plugin's npm to utilize it? – Jake Jun 07 '17 at 18:58
IIRC it should be a sibling to `package.json` – Eric Wendelin Jun 09 '17 at 03:32

If you want to do this directly in a gradle task you can use the following:

task setregistry(type: NpmTask) {
  args = ['config', 'set', 'registry', 'https://npm.registry.company.com']
}

You can also do this if you want to set the registry for a specific scope:

task setregistry(type: NpmTask) {
  args = ['config', 'set', '@scope:registry', 'https://npm.registry.company.com']
}
