不使用 npm 就无法运行节点命令

Question

I am working on a new node project in windows machine.

In my package.json I've set test script:

"scripts": {
    "test": "cucumber-js test"
  },

If I run the command > npm run test it works properly, but if I run > cucumber-js test I get the following error:

cucumber-js : The term 'cucumber-js' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify 
that the path is correct and try again.
At line:1 char:1
+ cucumber-js test
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (cucumber-js:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

Is there any explanation? How can I resolve it?

Answer 1

As mentioned in the comments the problem is resolved by providing the exact path: .\node_modules\.bin\cucumber-js test
