7 years ago You can do this to set the npm cache location: task setNpmCache(type: NpmTask) { // set the npm cache location args = ['config', 'set', 'cache', "${buildDir}/npmcache"] }
See this stack overflow link: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14836053/how-can-i-change-the-cache-path-for-npm-or-completely-disable-the-cache-on-win
in Gradle project having multiple npm/node projects, each project currently gets its own node installation. There should be a possiblity to setup the cacheDir in the rootProject to reuse a single node installation.
Ideally the plugin can be applied to the root project with all the configuration settings (versions, etc.) and all other project will just make use of that.
