Aspire Specify NodeJs version

[vnc4567]

Hello everyone,

I am using Aspire to orchestrate several projects, two of which are in Node.js.

Here is a piece of code showing how I load the projects:

var hub = builder.AddNpmApp("Hub", "../../../Projects/HubV2");
var omniFront = builder.AddNpmApp("Omni", "../../../Projects/omni");

My issue is that the Hub project is using Node version 22, while the OmniFront project is using version 16.

I am unable to run both at the same time via Aspire.

I tried specifying the Node version in the package.json file under engines, and I also tried using the .nvmrc file to specify the version, but without success.

Hub:
package.json

{
  "name": "hub",
  "version": "2.4.16",
  "private": true,
  "engines": {
    "node": "^22.14.0",
    "npm": "^10.9.2"
  }
}

OmniFront:
package.json

{
  "name": "omni",
  "version": "0.1.1",
  "private": true,
   "engines": {
    "node": "^16.22.0"
  },

Do you have any ideas on how to achieve this?
