Error messages that someone can actually do something about. about gradle-node-plugin

[deepy]

I agree the error message is at best bare, but all of this information is available when using --stacktrace

As for OS support, there's no official binary for z/os https://nodejs.org/en/download/ and that's why the build is breaking.

For this to work you either need to exclude the tasks from your build, or install node locally and use

node {
    download = false
}

This plugin might be dead, but if you got a suggestion on a better term we'll happily consider it in the fork https://github.com/node-gradle/gradle-node-plugin

Thanks @deepy, I will move over to the node-gradle/gradle-node-plugin project.
