Recently, I embarked on my journey to learn Node.js and Azure DevOps. To get a better grasp of how things function in Azure DevOps, I attempted to execute a basic Node.js example. Unfortunately, I hit a roadblock when an error surfaced, leaving me unsure about the next steps to take. The source code I have imported from Github (File1.js) looks like this:
const http = require('http');
const hostname = '127.0.0.1';
const port = 3000;
const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
res.statusCode = 200;
res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'text/plain');
res.end('Hello World\n');
});
server.listen(port, hostname, () => {
console.log('Server running at http://${hostname}:${port}/');
});
In my azure-pipelines.yml file, you will find the following snippet:
# Node.js
# Build a general Node.js project with npm.
# Add steps that analyze code, save build artifacts, deploy, and more:

inputs:
versionSpec: '11.x'
displayName: 'Install Node.js'
- task: Npm@1
displayName: 'npm install'
inputs:
command: install
- script: npm compile 'File1.js'
Though I understand that the final line in the .yml file is causing an error, I am clueless about how to establish the connection with the .js file for execution. When I remove that problematic line, everything runs smoothly, except... the file remains unexecuted. Any guidance or solutions to resolve this predicament would be immensely valued! Thank you in advance!
