frontend maven plugin fails to execute goal

Question

If I run mvn clean install for my Angular project, I'm getting the following error:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal com.github.eirslett:frontend-maven-plugin:1.4:npm (npm build) on project client: Failed to run task: 'npm run build' failed. org.apache.commons.exec.ExecuteException: Process exited with an error: 1 (Exit value: 1) -> [Help 1]

It was working before and I'm also using the same configuration in other projects.

already tried

using different versions for node and npm
checked configuration of my maven home directory
invalidated cache and restarted intellij and deleted nodemodules

Any help would be greatly appreciated. See below for relevant parts from pom's and full error log.

unfortunately the error details are not in the (looong) stack trace, but in the execution of `npm run build` (at `generate-resources` phase), to better analyze, plz: 1. `mvn clean` 2. `npm run build` (3. (shorten above stacktrace, and) update with new) — xerx593, Mar 13 '20 at 11:11

Can you try running the npm install and npm run build command directly from your project root folder and see what error you are getting. I do not see anything wrong with maven configuration.

If possible share the error or npm-debug.log file created by running npm run build.

When running the react-scripts build on the CI, the build script treats warnings as errors because by default process.env.CI = true.

In your package.json, update build as below to override process.env.CI value to false

"scripts": {
    "start": "react-scripts start",
    "build": "CI=false && react-scripts build",  // Add CI=False here
    "test": "react-scripts test",
    "eject": "react-scripts eject"
  },
