Pass command line option to npm install in gradle node plugin

Question

Using the gradle node plugin com.github.node-gradle.node, how do I pass a command line option to the NpmInstallTask?

Background: For security reasons, I want to pass "--ignore-scripts".

Answer 1

The npmCommand in NpmInstallTask inherited from NpmTask is a listProperty

If you set that to ["install", "--ignore-scripts"] it should be correctly passed

Answer 2

You can use following snippet (as documented here):

npmInstall.args = ['--ignore-scripts']
