Azure DevOps build pipeline for Angular and Failed to exec build script Node error

Question

I am working with Azure DevOps CI/CD for Angular 7 project but it is failing with following at the time of building angular code:

Error: Npm failed with return code: 1

Going through the pipeline task log I found that Node is exiting with following error:

I tried looking through different threads based upon error keywords but have not found a fix yet. Please note that everything works fine in the development environment.

I am not allowed to attach file or image so I am pasting pipeline YAML here:

trigger:
- master

pool:
  vmImage: 'vs2017-win2016'

steps:
- task: Npm@1
  displayName: 'npm install'
  inputs:
    command: install
    workingDir: Client

- task: Npm@1
  displayName: 'Build Angular'
  inputs:
    command: custom
    customCommand: run build -- --prod
    workingDir: Client

- task: PublishPipelineArtifact@0
  inputs:
    artifactName: 'angular'
    targetPath: 'Client/dist'

Please help.

Your first task must be install Angular CLI.

- task: Npm@1
  displayName: angular/cli
  inputs:
    command: custom
    workingDir: Client
    verbose: false
    customCommand: 'install @angular/cli -g'

Can you try running it to the first step?

-g returned permission error. So, I tried installing it locally by removing -g: - task: Npm@1 displayName: angular/cli inputs: command: custom workingDir: Client verbose: false customCommand: 'install @angular/cli' Above worked fine but the error remains the same.

The link no longer works. It's fine to have links as a reference in your solution, but the answer should actually be documented in the solution, precisely because links eventually rot.
