Same NodeJS Version across multiple stages in Jenkins

How to use the same node version across multiple stages in a debian node in jenkins?

node('debian') {
  sh """
    source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh &> /dev/null
    nvm install 8 &> /dev/null
    npm install yarn -g --silent

    node --version # correct 8
    yarn --version # correct 1.6.*
  """

  timestamps {
    ansiColor('xterm') {

      stage('Prepare') {
        sh """
          node --version # wrong 6.11
          yarn --version # wrong 1.12
        """
      }

      stage('Build') {
        sh """
          node --version # wrong 6.11
          yarn --version # wrong 1.2
        """
      }
    }
  }
}

I reeaaallly hate to be that guy, but....

Have you considered the Jenkins Node.js Plugin? This plugin lets you declare multiple versions of Node.js Jenkins tools, and then gives you some pipeline syntax to select the Node version + even an npmrc file for when you need to specify registry or something.

Example snippet from Jenkinsfile:

pipeline {
  agent any
  steps {
    nodejs(nodeJSInstallationName: 'MY_NODEJS_TOOL_NAME_HERE', configId: 'ID_OF_THE_CONFIG_FILE') {
      sh "node --version" // should be correct
    }
  }
}

As to why your nvm isn't working, I suspect (but it's almost entirely speculation) that nvm is playing games with your PATH, but when the sh block ends so does the cleverly reset path. Thus when you try to use your Node version in another sh call, PATH is back to what it was before.
