Description

I'm trying to replace the version number in one of my project's file at the postbump lifecycle script:

"scripts": {
  "postbump": "sed -i -r 's/(<span id=\"app-version\">)[^<]*(<\\/span>)/\\1$npm_package_version\\2/' app/views/footer.scala.html && git add app/views/footer.scala.html"
}

I tested the command beforehand and it works, but when I run it in the lifecycle, I get

The specified path is invalid. Error

I know the specified path is actually valid, so the problem must be elsewhere.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect how npm lifecycle scripts handle the working directory and path resolution. Check for quoting issues or changes in environment variables like $npm package version during postbump.
