NPM fails on command with 'npm run <task>'

Prerequisites:

1. Maven configuration:

<plugin>
        <groupId>com.github.eirslett</groupId>
        <artifactId>frontend-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <executions>
          <execution>
            <id>install node and npm</id>
            <goals>
              <goal>install-node-and-npm</goal>
            </goals>
            <configuration>
              <nodeVersion>v0.12.2</nodeVersion>
              <npmVersion>2.7.6</npmVersion>
            </configuration>
          </execution>
          <execution>
            <id>npm install</id>
            <goals>
              <goal>npm</goal>
            </goals>
          </execution>
        </executions>
      </plugin>

1. package.json:

...
"scripts": {
    "postinstall": "npm run wiredep",
    "prestart": "npm install",
    "start": "http-server -a 127.0.0.1 -p 8002",
    "wiredep": "wiredep --verbose --bowerJson bower.json --src src/main/resources/public/index.html"
  }
...

1. Node.js/npm is not installed globally.

While running ‘mvn install’ the following error is thrown:

[INFO] --- frontend-maven-plugin:0.0.23:npm (npm install) @ project-web-client ---
[INFO] Running 'npm install --color=false' in C:\work\projects\project-web-client

[INFO] > bower install && npm run wiredep

Note: if package.json has a command in postinstall phase like ‘bower install’ it works correctly.

Copy this file: https://github.com/eirslett/frontend-maven-plugin/blob/master/frontend-maven-plugin/src/it/example project/helper-scripts/npm into your project root directory (the same directory as the pom.xml file and/or the package.json file) and try again!

If you’re building on Windows, you should add this as well: https://github.com/eirslett/frontend-maven-plugin/blob/master/frontend-maven-plugin/src/it/example project/helper-scripts/npm.cmd

Then try running the maven build again. If that works, commit these two files into your repository.

Here is my pom:

              <groupId>com.github.eirslett</groupId>
              <artifactId>frontend-maven-plugin</artifactId>
              <version>1.4</version>
              <executions>
               <execution>
                  <id>install node and npm</id>
                  <phase>generate-resources</phase>
                  <goals>
                    <goal>install-node-and-npm</goal>
                  </goals>
                  <configuration>
                    <nodeVersion>v6.9.5</nodeVersion>
                    <npmVersion>3.10.10</npmVersion>
                    <workingDirectory></workingDirectory>
                  </configuration>
                </execution>

                <execution>
                  <id>npm install</id>
                  <phase>generate-resources</phase>
                  <goals>
                    <goal>npm</goal>
                  </goals>
                  <configuration>
                    <workingDirectory></workingDirectory>
                  </configuration>
                </execution>

The second execution, npm install doesn’t run. When I run “mvn clean install” I get the following — frontend-maven-plugin:1.4:install-node-and-npm (install node and npm) @ myproject — [INFO] Node v6.9.5 is already installed. [INFO] NPM 3.10.10 is already installed. [INFO] [INFO] — frontend-maven-plugin:1.4:npm (npm install) @ myproject — [INFO] Running ‘npm install’ in /Users/myproject

Waited more than 30 mins but doesn’t do anything after this. Tried few times and it is same each time. Would appreciate any help.
