Run npm command
The Step runs npm with the command and arguments you provide, for example, to install missing packages or run a package's test.
Description
You can install missing JS dependencies with this Step if you insert it before any build step and provide the `install` command. You can also test certain packages with the `test` command. You can do both in one Workflow, however, this requires one **Run npm command** Step for installation followed by another **Run npm command** Step for testing purposes. ### Configuring the Step 1. Add the **Run npm command** Step to your Workflow preceding any build Step. 2. Set the **Working directory**. 3. Set the command you want npm to execute, for example `install` to run `npm install` in the **The npm command with arguments to run** input. 4. If you're looking for a particular npm version, you can set it in the **Version of npm to use** input. 5. You can cache the content of the node modules directory if you select `true` in the drop-down. By default this input is set to false. ### Troubleshooting Make sure you insert the Step before any build Step so that every dependency is downloaded a build Step starts running. ### Useful links - [Getting started Ionic/Cordova apps](https://devcenter.bitrise.io/getting-started/getting-started-with-ionic-cordova-apps/) - [About npm](https://www.npmjs.com/)🧩 Get started
