How get `nodeDir` in version 5.0.0?

[candrews]

In version 4.0.0, running gradle nodeDir with this build.gradle prints the node directory:

plugins {
    id 'com.github.node-gradle.node' version '4.0.0'
}

node {
    download = true
}

task nodeDir {
    dependsOn nodeSetup
    println nodeSetup.nodeDir.get()
}

However, that doesn't work with version 5.0.0. Here's the build.gradle:

plugins {
    id 'com.github.node-gradle.node' version '5.0.0'
}

node {
    download = true
}

task nodeDir {
    dependsOn nodeSetup
    println nodeSetup.nodeDir.get()
}

The result is:

$ gradle nodeDir

I'm using gradle 8.1.1.

If you change this to doLast {} and use tasks.register() I think that should work, the problem is you're querying the value before it has been set But luckily there's a better place to get this from, it's now also available on the NodeExtension as computedNodeDir:

I figured it out - this works:

plugins {
    id 'com.github.node-gradle.node' version '5.0.0'
}

node {
    download = true
}

task nodeDir {
    dependsOn nodeSetup
    println node.computedNodeDir.get()
}

Thank you!
