Azure devops pipeline is throwing error installing node js

Question

I am creating an Azure Devops pipleline , here is my pipeline -

pool:
  vmImage: ubuntu 16.04

steps:
- task: NodeTool@0  
  inputs:
    versionSpec: ‘14.x’
  displayName: ‘TASK | Install Node.js 14.x ’

But I am getting following error -

Starting: ‘TASK | Install Node.js 14.x ’
==============================================================================
Task         : Node.js tool installer
Description  : Finds or downloads and caches the specified version spec of Node.js and adds it to the PATH

Finishing: ‘TASK | Install Node.js 14.x ’

Not sure whats going wrong here. I have tested the same with versionSpec : 12.x, 10.x etc, but no luck

You have wrong characters ’

Please use this '

  - task: NodeTool@0  
    inputs:
      versionSpec: '14.x'
    displayName: 'TASK | Install Node.js 14.x '

I don't think that is the issue since in my editor the character is ', that might have been placed wrong while copying to StackOverFlow

Well, I copy posted your code and I got the same error. Changed characters and it is ok now. Give a try and check on your own. Just copy paste mine code.
