How to solve npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE error at the end of the execution

[vijaynagr]

Hi,

I am getting the following error after running 8 instances on the selenium grid just before running the allure report

Spec Files: 0 passed, 8 failed, 8 total (100% completed) in 00:15:59

I am unable to get more logs for this one to understand whats happening. Has anyone faced this before? Appreciate any help in resolving this issue.

Thanks.

Hi @erwinheitzman I did see the solution in the link before, but that doesn't suit me. I am running tests on pipeline, so each time it is downloading the code from GIT and install node modules and trigger tests. And just at the end of the run, I get this error. So, no point in clearing the cache, deleting nodemodules folder, reinstalling the node modules and rerun the scripts again as mentioned in the link.

There should be some other solution to this issue.
