How would I do "npm run build"?

[nick5454]

I'm using Cake.CoreCLR 0.38.4 and Cake.NPM

I'd like to do npm run build {path}, but my code is not working. Any suggestions

var settings = new NpmInstallSettings 
{
    Production = false,
    WorkingDirectory = "***path***"
};

NpmInstall(settings);

var runSettings = new NpmRunScriptSettings 
{
    ScriptName = "run build",
    LogLevel = NpmLogLevel.Verbose
};

NpmRunScript(runSettings);

Have you tried

   var runSettings = new NpmRunScriptSettings 
   {
      ScriptName = "build",
      LogLevel = NpmLogLevel.Verbose,
   };
   runSettings.Arguments.Add("{path}");
   NpmRunScript(runSettings);

That didn't work, is there a command for NPM that would build "npm run build" output

What was the error when that did not work?
Additionally, can you post the output of the Cake run with --verbosity=diagnostic this will enable us to see the npm statement that is used.

What does that mean? Do you get an error (and which error?)

The most basic way to execute npm run build is this:

#addin nuget:?package=Cake.Npm&version=1.0.0
NpmRunScript("build");

Docs and examples: https://cakebuild.net/extensions/cake-npm/

You can tell Cake to display the command-line being executed.

dotnet cake --settings_showprocesscommandline=true

Which should display something like:

Executing: "C:/Program Files/nodejs/npm.cmd" run-script "build"

NB: run-script and run are synonyms...

Sorry, you are correct. I'm new to nodeJs and npm so I was confused
