      I installed the NodeJS plugin and set up a few installations.
      In my NodeJS 0.10.33 installation, I set it to globally npm@latest and grunt-cli
      This worked great for 72 hours, then broke all our builds when it attempted to refresh, not the instances under $JENKINS_HOME/tools/jenkins.plugins.nodejs.tools.NodeJSInstallation/NodeJS_0.10.33_npm_latest/bin/npm, but /usr/bin:

      {{"/var/lib/jenkins/tools/jenkins.plugins.nodejs.tools.NodeJSInstallation/NodeJS_0.10.33_npm_latest/bin/npm" "install" "-g" "npm@latest" "grunt-cli"

          I was able to trick the plugin by removing 'npm@latest' from list of global installs.
          Then, even when I select my npm installation, it utilizes what is already installed there i.e. npm@2.12 – without attempting to refresh the one in /usr/bin.

          $ /bin/bash -xe /tmp/hudson6506774195427586284.sh
          + which node
          /var/lib/jenkins/tools/jenkins.plugins.nodejs.tools.NodeJSInstallation/NodeJS_0.10.33_npm_latest/bin/node
          + which npm
          /var/lib/jenkins/tools/jenkins.plugins.nodejs.tools.NodeJSInstallation/NodeJS_0.10.33_npm_latest/bin/npm
          + which grunt
          /usr/bin/grunt
          + node --version
          v0.10.33
          + npm --version
          2.12.0
          + grunt --version

          You have a nodejs installed in the system. When you launch a build after 72 hours it run again the npm command to update global packages. Instead to run the npm in the Jenkins tools folder it run the system nodejs updating wrong installation.

          Use last release please to fix this issue.
