How to run node.js file from azure-pipeline.yml?

Question

I have an Azure ci/cd pipeline set up running scripts among other things from the azure-pipelines.yml file. I am trying to run the following script defined in my package.json

 - script: | 
    npm run ui-test
  displayName: 'run ui-test'

I get the error:

[command]/bin/bash --noprofile --norc /home/vsts/work/_temp/df3bb798-9942-4d18-ae5a-0ada6afaa797.sh npm ERR! missing script: ui-test

Do I need to define the script somewhere else?

Answer 1

No.

One does not need to define the script anywhere else. Npm will reference the current package.json. In this instance, a pervious azure step was checking out different branch with different package.json.
