I have a jenkins server that is configured using https://github.com/shierro/jenkins-docker-examples/tree/master/05-aws-ecs
I am running a blue ocean pipeline using a simple Jenkinsfile and the jenkins NodeJS plugin
pipeline {
agent any
tools {
nodejs 'node10'
}
stages {
stage ('Checkout Code') {
steps {
checkout scm
}
}
stage ('Install dependencies') {
steps {
sh "echo $PATH"
sh "npm install"
}
}
}
}
I made sure to add the node10 global tool as well w/c is used above
When the pipeline gets to the script sh "npm install"
i am running through this error
this is the output of the command echo $PATH
so i think it's not a path issue
Also, it also wasn't able to add the global package
More info that might help:
FROM jenkins/jenkins:2.131-alpine
Any ideas why the jenkins server does not know where node is?
Big thanks in advance!

I want to highlight Mitch Downey's comment, it can't be just a comment because after spending 4 hours with no solution this comment helped me to resolve the solution
My issue ended up being with the jenkinsci/blueocean image. I was able to just replace that image with jenkins/jenkins:lts and the NodeJS plugin began working as expected

Make a symbolic link like this:
sudo ln -s /var/lib/jenkins/tools/jenkins.plugins.nodejs.tools.NodeJSInstallation/node/bin/node /usr/bin/node

I have faced the same issue with jenkinsci/blueocean. No jenkins nodejs plugin needed.
pipeline {
agent any
stages {
stage ('Checkout Code') {
steps {
checkout scm
}
}
stage ('Install dependencies') {
steps {
sh "apk add nodejs"
sh "echo $PATH"
sh "npm install"
}
}
}
}

I have faced the same issue with jenkinsci/blueocean. I have resolved this by installing nodejs with below command(inside docker) not as jenkins plugin
apk add nodejs

Thanks to @JoergS for some insight! The culprit in this case is: using alpine image as the docker base. So switching from jenkins/jenkins:2.131-alpine
to jenkins/jenkins:2.131
solved the NodeJS plugin issue.
