Azure Web app Kudu configuration

Question

Does anyone have an example of customising kudu to run npm, bower and typescript compile gulp/grunt scripts as part of the CI process, for an asp.Net app?

I have a webslot which has a deployment source configured of a branch of my repo. On pushing to the repo the webslot syncs. I tried customising a deploy.cmd to run but i got errors based on the version of npm/node i had installed.

Is there another way to force the version of npm/node being run in a web slot for an asp.net site? I've tried Specifying these app settings,

WEBSITE_NODE_DEFAULT_VERSION = 4.4.3
WEBSITE_NPM_DEFAULT_VERSION = 3.8.9

but running npm -v gives me 1.1.37

and running node -v gives me v0.10.28 and the following error

Window title cannot be longer than 1023 characters.
At line:1 char:1
+ node -v
+ ~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidArgument: (:) [], RuntimeException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Argument

running npm install in the d:\home\site\wwwroot also fails

Should i be running all manipulation commands/scripts within the repositry folder? and then copying all to the wwwroot folder?

For the 'CERT_UNTRUSTED' error, you can bypass https using following cmd:

npm config set strict-ssl false

or execute this:

process.env['NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED'] = '0';
