Getting a pipeline cache artifact ....Failed to get cached item & npm ERR! could not determine executable to run for npx cypress run

[flaskvacuum]

hi guys,
i am setting up my azure pipeline to run cypress. This are the recommended template to use and i was able to run the cache npm packages & cache the cypress binary successfully. Thus was able to proceed with the Install NPM dependencies. I was able to see npm cache list result and cypress cache list. But a closer look at the cache npm packages & cache cypress binary i saw this error:

Getting a pipeline cache artifact with the following fingerprint: npm|"Windows_NT"|TUjhsfafaiosvoswfafhjhUUHkj.
Failed to get cached item. Can i actually ignore it since my install NPM dependencies are ok.

2nd issues is:
the RUM Cypress tests, i was trying to run npx cypress run as part of the script:
npx cypress run --spec $(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)\cypress\e2e\SAM-UI-R1-001.cy.js

error encountered:
"C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe" /D /E:ON /V:OFF /S /C "CALL "D:\cypressAgent_temp\cc43252b-4693-4096-ae59-8855999da11c.cmd""
npm ERR! could not determine executable to run

is there some dependencies i have missed ?
