Jenkins pipeline doesn't recognise my Angular project

I have a project with a more complex structure that I'm working on, like this: 'rootFolder/frontendParentFolder/actualAngularProject'

I have a Jenkins job that tries to run the code coverage task for the angular project.

The step that I have right now is like this:

stage('Testing Front End') {
steps {
echo 'Running front end tests...'
dir('frontendParentFolder/actualAngularProject') {
sh 'ng test --code-coverage --watch=false'
}
}
}


The Jenkins job does checkout and build and other stuff, it obviously starts from the root of the project. When it gets to this step it says this ...

[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // stage
[Pipeline] stage
[Pipeline] { (Testing Front End)
[Pipeline] tool
[Pipeline] envVarsForTool
[Pipeline] tool
[Pipeline] envVarsForTool
[Pipeline] withEnv
[Pipeline] {
[Pipeline] echo
Running front end tests...
[Pipeline] dir
Running in /home/jenkins/workspace/rootFolder/frontendParentFolder/actualAngularProject
[Pipeline] {
[Pipeline] sh
[actualAngularProject] Running shell script
+ ng test --code-coverage --watch=false
The test command requires to be run in an Angular project, but a project definition could not be found.
[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // dir
[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // withEnv
[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // stage
[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // withEnv
[Pipeline] }


I tried also mentioning the name of the project like sh

ng test actualAngularProject --code-coverage --watch=false

But I still get the same thing.

I tried to install the NPM plugin, but I didn't know how to use it and didn't find a proper example for it.

I have:

Jenkins ver. 2.222.3;
Angular CLI: 8.3.18;
Node: 12.13.0;
OS: linux x64


If I try to run the same command from CLI, it works. What could be the reason for this?
