Angular - Getting sh: ng: command not found while running "npm run ng build" in Jenkins

Question

I am trying to build an angular project in Jenkins

Tried both

"build": "npm run ng build",

as well as

"build": "ng build"

but getting the same error. Could it be because of the way this project has been set up in jenkins ?

On my local machine, setting

"build": "npm run ng build"

works fine. But it fails on jenkins.

Jenkins log below -

Answer 1

in pipeline add below, i hope this will solve the problem, i was facing the same issue while using jenkins pipeline to build my react application.

environment { 
        CI = 'false'
    }
