We added multiple Node versions into the Superchain image, and made it
possible to switch between them using NVM.
Doing so would require putting
nvm use 14
at the top of every scriptthat wanted to run against a newer Node version, and so would require
modification to scripts in our branches.
Another, more effective, way to configure the Node version is to be able
to do it without modifying the scripts themselves, but by specifying it
via the runtime environment. In this case, via environment variable that
can be set on the Docker environment.
The
$NVM_USE_VERSION
environment variable will lead to an implicitexecution of
nvm use $NVM_USE_VERSION
at container startup time, ifpresent.
