My ADO build pipeline is failing due to NPM failure and not sure how to resolve the issue. Here is the error code for the same:
[error]Error: Npm failed with return code: 1

To further investigate here is the build url: https://msazure.visualstudio.com/One/\_build/results?buildId=56680880&view=results
Please let me know how to resolve this issue and we are blocked due to this.
