I'm in the process of setting up a straightforward CI job. GitLab Runner is currently operating on my personal server, and the specific runner for this project has been properly registered with the shell executor to execute shell commands.
stages:
- build
build:
stage: build
script:
- npm install
- npm run build
artifacts:
paths:
- "public/dist/main.js"
only:
- master
Unfortunately, the job encounters an error at the first command, npm install, showing a message stating npm: command not found. I have just freshly installed npm along with node using npm. When I SSH into my server and check the version with npm -v, it shows that version 8.5.5 is indeed installed. Furthermore, when I execute npm -v after switching to the user gitlab-runner with sudo su gitlab-runner, it works without any issues.
I carried out the installation of npm while gitlab-runner was actively running. In an attempt to resolve the problem, I restarted the GitLab Runner service by using the command service gitlab-runner restart, assuming that it needed to reassess its PATH, but unfortunately, the issue remains unresolved.
