test:mocha try to run cygwin command on linux

Question

I have a maven project using maven-frontend-plugin to install all node (npm packages) and run all npm tests. Under linux fail due cygwin command.

Inside pom the maven-frontend-plugin configuration is defined and during the build an error arise after install npm and trying to run test with mocha.

If one try to run the tests directly with Node works whatever environment Using "mvn clean package" it fails on linux

Under Windows, without any previous installation works.

Inside pom

```xml
 <plugin>
 <groupId>com.github.eirslett</groupId>
 <artifactId>frontend-maven-plugin</artifactId>
 <version>${frontend-maven-plugin.version}</version>
 <executions>
 <!-- Install Node and npm -->
 <execution>
 <id>install-node-npm</id>
 <goals><goal>install-node-and-npm</goal></goals>
 <configuration>
 <nodeVersion>${frontend-maven-plugin.node.version}</nodeVersion>
 <npmVersion>${frontend-maven-plugin.npm.version}</npmVersion>
 </configuration>
 </execution>
 <!-- Install npm modules -->

 </goals>
 </execution>

 <phase>prepare-package</phase>
 <goals>
 <goal>npm</goal>
 </goals>
 <configuration>
 <arguments>run-script prod</arguments>
 </configuration>
 </execution>
 </executions>
```

Inisde package.json

```json
scripts:{
 ...
 "test:coverage": "nyc npm run-script test:mocha || exit 0",
 ...
}
```

Linux fail:

nyc npm run-script test:mocha

SOLVED Using a recent version the troubles dissapears on Ubuntu <frontend-maven-plugin.version>1.7.6</frontend-maven-plugin.version>

Using Kubernetes pod with maven installed without any Node previous installation is still not working. Note that it works for all other projects without nyc and mocha.

I'm still looking for what is missing

Answer 1

The problem inside Kubernetes pod is related to the path.

Set the correct NODE_PATH value as environment variable the process works so nice
