bash npm command not found

[nmollet]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to setup a pipeline to deploy to production.

Using pipe: atlassian/ssh-run:0.4.1 I just want to execute an npm command on my production server.

The pipeline gives an error:

bash: npm: command not found

When connected as the same SFTP user on the production server terminal, npm -v successfully gives me the version: 6.9.0.

Having hard time understanding the difference between accessing SSH with a Bitbucket Pipeline and direct access to SSH.

I only setup 4 repository variables, called: SFTP_SERVER, SFTP_USER, SFTP_PASSWORD, and SFTP_PATH.

Help appreciated. Thanks.

The pipeline config file is:

image: php:7.4-fpm
definitions:
  services:
    mysql:
      image: mysql:5.7
      environment:
        MYSQL_DATABASE: 'homestead'
        MYSQL_RANDOM_ROOT_PASSWORD: 'yes'
        MYSQL_USER: 'homestead'
        MYSQL_PASSWORD: 'secret'
pipelines:
  default:
    - step:
          name: Deploy to Production
          deployment: production
          script:
            - pipe: atlassian/ssh-run:0.4.1
              variables:
                SSH_USER: $SFTP_USER
                SERVER: $SFTP_SERVER
                MODE: 'command'
                DEBUG: 'true'
                COMMAND: 'npm run updateprod'
                PASSWORD: $SFTP_PASSWORD
                LOCAL_PATH: $SFTP_PATH

Update: found some info saying that paths can be different when connected in SSH in "non interactive mode". Still trying to find how to handle the difference.

I found a solution that works for me:

source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh && source ~/.profile && npm run updateprod

Sourcing NVM and the profile before calling NPM.
