Circle CI build failed

When I try to run tests with Circle CI v2 using npm, build fails after running npm ci:

#!/bin/bash -eo pipefail
npm ci
/bin/bash: npm: command not found
Exited with code 127

This is my circleci.yml config:

version: 2
jobs:
  build:
    working_directory: /var/www
    docker:
      # using custom image, see .circleci/images/primary/Dockerfile
      - image: circleci/cci-demo-docker-primary:0.0.2
      - image: cypress/base:8
        environment:
          ...
          TERM: xterm
    parallelism: 1
    steps:
      - checkout
      - run:
          ...
      - restore_cache:
          key: v2-deps-{{ .Branch }}-{{ checksum "package.json" }}
          key: v2-deps-{{ .Branch }}-
          key: v2-deps-
      - run: npm ci
      - save_cache:
          key: v2-deps-{{ .Branch }}-{{ checksum "package.json" }}
          paths:
            - ~/.npm
            - ~/.cache
      - run: $(npm bin)/cypress run --record --key <my_record_key>

@stephyswe Late reply, but you can replace npm ci with yarn install --frozen-lockfile . Rest should run just fine with npm commands used in the examples they provide, I believe.

@saadaouad You’ll need to run npm i locally in order to generate and commit the package-lock.json file to be read by your CI. The npm ci command exclusively uses the package-lock.json file.
