Jenkins build fail - Error: not found: make

Question

I try to create CI for my npm module, but I have the problem with NPM install command. I try to globally install gyp but nothing works for me. Is it problem with dependencies (package.json file is added after console output) or some configurations on jenkins is missing? Node version is 11.6.0.

Console output :

Execute shell :

npm install --prefix defined-id
npm run build --prefix defined-id
npm run test --prefix defined-id

Answer 1

I suspect that is not a Jenkins error.

Execute the following line in the Linux where NPM commands are executed:

sudo apt-get install build-essential

And build again your Jenkins job.
