npm command not found

[yy921010]

I have npm installed on my server, why does the 'npm command not found' error during deployment?

[rieckpil]

I encountered a similar problem where Maven (Java Build Tool) was not available within my SSH session but installed on the server:

 ======CMD======
cd /***/projects/xyz
git pull
mvn clean package

@yy921010 try this, fixed my problem

script: |
  export NVM_DIR=~/.nvm
  source ~/.nvm/nvm.sh
  npm --help

Fixed it for me as well! Thank you. Do you know why this fixed the problem?

i think because docker not export environment

Why is it not loading the users .bashrc correctly?

[fcbuz2000]

npm: command not found
Reason:
I use nvm for the server node environment, and nvm will not install the node environment in the /usr/local/bin/ directory, so that sudo can't find the corresponding instructions, and finally create a soft connection to solve

sudo ln -s "$NVM_DIR/versions/node/$(nvm version)/bin/node" "/usr/local/bin/node"
sudo ln -s "$NVM_DIR/versions/node/$(nvm version)/bin/npm" "/usr/local/bin/npm"
sudo ln -s "$NVM_DIR/versions/node/$(nvm version)/bin/pm2" "/usr/local/bin/pm2"

you can test "sudo npm -v"

@nathanhannig, maybe exec bash can help you (this solved my problem):

script: |
  exec bash
  pm2 reload app.js

thanks for the information @vanyauhalin
to solve my issue I needed to do a minor change to your code. apparently, you need to get a login shell. so you can load all bash variables and configurations.

        script: |
          exec bash \-l
          cd ~/project-dir
          ./deploy.sh

it seems what "appleboy/ssh-action" underline do is a sh shell, not a bash shell. it's similar to

ssh a@b -t sh

[hyoretsu]

None of the above worked for me. exec bash worked but didn't run my command.

Hello all, I have been facing the same issue. @oshanz pointed out well that when logging through the SSH, the shell is in an interactive mode instead of a login mode. So, some profile information and paths are not loaded. More on this issue here.

In any case, I managed to get it working with a here document syntax:

script: |
    bash -l -c "$(cat <<- EOF
    echo "This should work"
    EOF
    )"

There's just one issue, I keep getting this error err: bash: line 107: [: -ne: unary operator expected on some lines. Fortunately, it doesn't stop the script even with script_stop: true.

I think this might also be a (bit hacky) solution for #31.

This works for me too.

You have to export mvn path, try to use echo $PATH with ssh-action and on your actual server, compare the results.

Thank you, it is useful;
