Can the VSCode NPM Script Explorer source .nvmrc before running a script?

There are several extensions that run nvm use on each terminal opened if an .nvmrc file is found in the workspace. These work for the NPM Script Explorer too.

The most downloaded one is called vsc-nvm.

In case it does not work out of the box, note that it runs nvm use in a /bin/sh shell, therefore you need to make sure nvm is accessible and works as intended from within sh.

P.S. This sounds like a good feature to add to the NPM Script Explorer itself, but as far as I can see, nobody suggested it yet.

This works form me in linux.

Prerequisites

• have nvm installed

• have a .nvmrc file with the project's Node version placed in the root folder of your project

In your VS Code settings.json file, add these definitions

"terminal.integrated.profiles.linux": {
    "NvmBash": {
        "path": "bash",
        "source": "bash",
        "extensionIdentifier": "linux",
        "args": [
            "-c",
            "[ -f .nvmrc ] && { source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh; nvm use $(cat .nvmrc) || nvm install $(cat .nvmrc); } || true; exec $@"
        ]
    }
},
"terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.linux": "NvmBash"
