What is the issue or error you’re encountering

Npm scripts not working properly

What are the steps to reproduce the issue?

I’m trying to run a build script for a sub app which is an spa that’s built using vite. My npm build scripts is pretty simple:

"build": "npm install --include=dev & vite build",

Locally this waits for npm install to finish before running the build but on the cloudflare pages build it tries to run both of these concurrently which causes an error as vite is not installed.
