All tasks have control options in addition to their task inputs. For more information, see Control options and common task properties.

None.

Remarks

When adopting agent releases that exclude the Node 6 task runner you may have an occasional need to run tasks that have not been updated to use a newer Node runner. For this scenario we provide a way to still use tasks dependent on Node End-of-Life runners. For more information, see Node runner guidance blog post.

The following task example shows how to install the Node 6 runner just-in-time, so an older task can successfully run.

  steps:
  - task: NodeTaskRunnerInstaller@0
    inputs:
      runnerVersion: 6
