Using cy.exec to run a npm command using nvm shows the following output

[ghost]

Current behavior

When the npm command is run in a cy.exec, npm not found is shown as the output. But on refreshing it the command is run without any errors.
Error: CypressError: cy.exec('npm run removeDB')` failed because the command exited with a non-zero code.

Pass {failOnNonZeroExit: false} to ignore exit code failures.

Information about the failure:
Code: 127

Stderr:
zsh:1: command not found: npm

Because this error occurred during a before all hook we are skipping the remaining tests in the current suite: Test Cases - __AD...
at http://localhost:3000/__cypress/runner/cypress_runner.js:157481:26
From previous event:
at Context.exec (http://localhost:3000/__cypress/runner/cypress_runner.js:157454:105)
From Your Spec Code:
at Context.eval (http://localhost:3000/__cypress/tests?p=cypress/support/index.js:290:6)`

Desired behavior

Like in after the refresh the user should be able to get the npm run command on the first try rather than to refresh the runner.

Test code to reproduce

require("dotenv").config();
const url = process.env.DB_CONFIG;

// create a client to mongodb
const MongoClient = require("mongodb").MongoClient;

// make client connect to mongo service
MongoClient.connect(url, function(err, db) {
	if (err) throw err;
	console.log("Connected to Database!");
	// delete the database
	var dbo = db.db(`${process.env.PROJECT_KEY}`);
	// print database name
	console.log("db object points to the database : " + dbo.databaseName);
	dbo.dropDatabase(function(err, result) {
		console.log("Error : " + err);
		if (err) throw err;
		console.log("Operation Success ? " + result);
		// after all the operations with db, close it.
		db.close();
	});
});
