is there any way to run npm install and npm run build in a cloudbuild.yaml?

Question

I have this react app, I need to deploy into a google cloud storage thru google cloud build, I'm trying to do it adding a cloudbuild.yaml and add some steps to run the npm

This is what I have:

steps:
  - name: bash
    script: |
      npm install --force
  - name: bash
    script: |
      npm run build
  - name: "gcr.io/google.com/cloudsdktool/cloud-sdk"
    entrypoint: gcloud
    args:
      ["storage", "cp", "/dist/*", "gs://bucket"]
timeout: 1200s
options:
  logging: CLOUD_LOGGING_ONLY

but cloud build show me an error:

Step #0: script: line 2: npm: not found

In your steps, you use name: bash, so you use a container with bash installed, and not NPM.

Use a container name "node:19" for instance to get a node/npm compliant container and be able to invoke NPM.

As mentioned in this documentation. Before you can build your application, you must ensure that all of your project's dependencies are installed from npm or yarn.

steps:
- name: node
  entrypoint: npm
  args: ['install']

If you've defined a test script in your package.json, you can configure Cloud Build to run the script by adding test to the args field:

steps:
- name: node
  entrypoint: npm
  args: ['install']
- name: node
  entrypoint: npm
  args: ['test']
