Is there some way of making this check it is necessary? It would be way too excessive to have node reinstall itself every time we run through ansible.

Since posting this issue I've created my own Ansible implementation of NVM and I no longer use nodesource.
If you were to do so, you should check for an existing install, register a variable with the currently installed version and provide some logic to determine if it should be uninstalled first.

2026 best practice: Remove existing Node.js before upgrading versions. Problem: - Ubuntu 22.04 ships with Node.js v12.22.9 from default repositories - apt with state: present won't upgrade already-installed packages - NodeSource repository was added but old version remained Solution: - Remove old nodejs and npm packages with purge and autoremove - Then install Node.js 20 from NodeSource repository - This ensures clean upgrade from v12 to v20 References: - NodeSource upgrade guide: https://nodesource.com/blog/Update-Node.js-versions-on-linux - Ansible best practice: nodesource/ansible-nodejs-role#14 Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Allow function to change versions of Node.js if the nodejs version variable changes to allow seamless porting between the available versions.
Tested with DrupalVM on provision, and reprovision between both versions, and has no effect when install hasn't been previously executed from the playbook.
