NPM is not found in script

Question

Background:

In the pipeline step, I have added multiple scripts something like

image: drupal:9.5.11-php8.1-fpm
pipelines:
  branches:
    test:
      - step:
          script:

- scripts/pipelines/setup.sh
            - scripts/pipelines/validate.sh
            - scripts/pipelines/build_artifact.sh
            - scripts/pipelines/deploy_artifact.sh
          services:
            - docker
            - mysql
          caches:
            - docker
            - node
            - composer

I used an image where node and npm are unavailable, so I need to install the node using nvm in setup.sh. I am able to install node and npm and the commands successfully are running properly in the setup script.

I am using Acquia BLT in this pipeline. BLT command is running post code command hook where I am running one script (frontend_build.sh) to run npm install and npm run build.

Problem:

Inside frontend_build.sh, it is giving an error "npm command not found".

Solution Tried:

* I tried to update the PATH variable and source ~/.bashrc. This shows showing updated path.
* Tried to export the npm path in the custom variable but nothing works.

Suggestions are welcome.

Thanks very much for all the help.

Hi @Amit Sharma

Thanks for that.
Could we check if the NPM is still installed after running setup.sh script?

script:
            - scripts/pipelines/setup.sh
            - npm --version
            - scripts/pipelines/validate.sh
            - scripts/pipelines/build_artifact.sh
            - scripts/pipelines/deploy_artifact.sh

You can also try installing NPM as part of the step script instead.

Let me know how it goes.

Regards,
Mark C

@Saxea _Flowie_  I am running the Acquia BLT command in the build.sh, which runs a post-code hook. Inside this hook, I am running the frontend-build.sh

BLT picks the path of npm installed in the current container. I have used this on the local but it is not working in Pipeline.

Yes @Mark C  I am installing the npm in my script

scripts/pipelines/setup.sh

in the above script I am installing and setting up the path of node and npm.

Also, I have checked the version. I installed the node using nvm.
