The command npm/cucumber - '.' is not recognized as a valid internal or external command

I recently installed npm and it's showing version 9.2.0. But when I try to run the command npm run test, I encounter an error stating that 

'.' is not recognized as an internal or external command
. I have double-checked my environment variables, but I'm still unable to identify the cause of this issue.
Here is a snippet of my package.json file:

{
  "name": "udemy_cucumber",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "practice bdd suite",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "test": "./node_modules/.bin/cucumber-js --require cucumber.js --require step-definitions/**/*.js -f json:cucumber_report.json --publish-quiet"
  },
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "dependencies": {
    "@cucumber/cucumber": "^8.11.1",
    "@playwright/test": "^1.30.0",
    "chai": "^4.3.7",
    "cucumber-html-reporter": "^5.5.0",
    "i": "^0.3.7",
    "prettier": "^2.8.4"
  }
}

This is how my folder structure looks like:

If anyone could assist me in identifying what I might have overlooked, I would greatly appreciate it.

node.jsnpmcucumber

Answer №1

After some research, I discovered that the Windows terminal can interpret backslashes to identify folder paths.
To run the command correctly, use:

"test": ".\node_modules\.bin\cucumber-js --require cucumber.js --require step-definitions\**\*.js -f json:cucumber_report.json --publish-quiet"
