Problema with nvm_install and chef-client first run

Question

I`m using nvm chef cookbook with nvm_install resource to install nodejs and npm.

nvm_install 'v4.2.2' do
  from_source false
  alias_as_default true
  action :create
end

After install node I tried to run 'npm install' but i had this error:

No such file or directory - npm

I`ve tried to put a "source" to load nvm.sh script but didnt work when I run chef-client at the first time.

append_if_no_line "Global .bashrc and source to nvm" do
  path "/etc/bash.bashrc"
  line "[[ -s #{node['nvm']['directory']}/nvm.sh ]] && . #{node['nvm']['directory']}/nvm.sh  # This loads NVM"
end

My question is, How can I run NPM INSTALL after install NVM/NODE with the chef-client running.

CODE:

nvm_install 'v4.2.2' do
  from_source false
  alias_as_default true
  action :create
end

append_if_no_line "Global .bashrc and source to nvm" do
  path "/etc/bash.bashrc"
  line "[[ -s #{node['nvm']['directory']}/nvm.sh ]] && . #{node['nvm']['directory']}/nvm.sh  # This loads NVM"
end


execute "npm install" do
  cwd "#{PATH_CODE}"
  command "npm install"
  action :run
end

As mentioned on IRC, you need to handle this in each subshell you run from Chef. A better solution is probably to use poise-javascript to manage versions within Chef.
