1652173 - make it easy to run the exact Node/NPM binaries used by the build system

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox Build System :: General, enhancement, P1)

Description

[Dan Mosedale (:dmosedale, :dmose)]

It's currently hard to figure out (and therefore invoke) the exact versions of node/npm used by the build, because they can come from various places.

We already have mach python which allows a user to invoke either the REPL or a python script from the command-line; I've got a patch that adds the analogous mach node and mach npm.

Yes please! I feel like I built this locally at some point.
