1210404 - Ability to switch node.js version on CI machines

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::Build, defect)

Description

As you may know, bug 955988 is working on node.js refactoring. Running build system on node.js will require latest jsdom [1] but it depends on node.js version >= 4.x.

It would be a problem if we go to upgrade node.js to 4.x since integration test will break when node.js !== 0.10.x or !== 0.12.x

Thus, I propose this solution by installing a nvm [2] for CI machines. I think it makes sense to switch 0.10.x or 0.12.x when running integration test and switch to 4.x when build-time.

Gareth, do you have any suggestion how to do this?

Do you think it makes sense to you if we go to install nvm on CI machines and it would be able to switch appropriate node version to build / run tests on Gaia.

People will be notified that they must run on some specific node versions when trying to build or testing on local.

Almost all node packages are upgraded to node 4+, so node switching solution is unnecessary right now.
