frontend-maven-plugin failing in npm install with error "npm ERR! cb() never called"

Question

I am trying to use frontend-maven-plugin to build springboot + react project,I am successfully able to run the build in local machine but when the build runs in a teamcity agent it fails. I have to bypass corporate proxy so that npm install works as it was failing with other issue earlier

pom.xml

It was an proxy issue at the teamcity agent ,there was 2 ways to solve this

To ssh handshake between teamcity agent and jfrog npm artifactory being used in our organisation
To put authentication key and url in .npmrc file you can refer https://www.jfrog.com/confluence/display/JFROG/npm+Registry

I did it with point 2 as it is difficult to take approvals to do handshake between 2 servers in my organisation.
