Not able to generate bom for Node.js project

See original GitHub issue

Whenever I try to run cdxgen for Node.js projects the output it empty IF the node_modules folder is not yet created.

Sample output:

Unable to produce BOM for .
Try running the command with -t <type> or -r argument

But once I run npm install and created the node_modules directory the output is as expected. Is there anything that can be done to implicitly execute this?
