Hi @[deleted],
I just answered another question from you, basically on th same npm topic. There I sent a great KB on how to configure a npm task within Bamboo. Possibly, the "magic" for you is Node.js being configured correctly, so providing the path to the node and implicitly the npm binary. And also environment variable NODE_HOME to be set.
By the way, other than using Bamboo's npm task, you can also use npm's CLI and thus run your npm commands from within a Bamboo Script task. Only take care of interactive processes, like npm init, where you need to enter a bunch of data or at least hit <CR> several times. Though, npm install and npm test should work just fine.
As of your posted build log snippet, npm test fails for you because react-scripts cannot be found and likely your defined Node.js tests are in there.
So answering your question, the build log directly tells you where the build is run, namely here:
/home/bytebaron/atlassian-bamboo-7.0.2/xml-data/build-dir/BAM-BTP-JOB1
So effectively within your <Bamboo home directory> under xml-data/build-dir Bamboo creates a new folder per build and names it using PROJ-PLAN-JOB, right as you see above.
This location is called your build working directory. E.g. if you run a Source Code Checkout task, code is copied in to here. Any build operations that this plan is performing are running here. So in other words, this folder is the "core" of your build. Hence it shall provide the environment that your Bamboo build plan requires.
Find the following KB highlighting the most important Bamboo folders: Locating important directories and files.
If you want to see what resides in your plan's build working directory, you may run the following from a Bamboo Script task with Bamboo Server hosted on Linux or UNIX.
ls -al ${bamboo.build.working.directory}
Find this and many more useful Bamboo variables here: Bamboo variables.
So, summarizing, typically the Source Code Checkout task is used to make all needed files available in your plan's build working directory. Alternatively you could think about copying in what you need, from your local server or even from remote, as per simple cp or secure scp / sftp or even via rsync.
However you do that, if your data is there and accessible as it is from within your Visual Studio Code terminal, npm test should equally work from out of Bamboo.
Please check out our suggestions and let us know what more we can assist you on.
Thanks, take care and have a great weekend!
