I made a modification to the build. I selected 'shell' (as I'm a mac user) not windows batch (as my tutor instructed). I also removed customer workspace from my configuration
Added the following command in 'build'
/Users/JacquelineGeorge/Documents/Jenkins/LocatorTraining&&npm run
protractor
It still failed but this message was at least different.
I also tried this with and without ${JENKINS_HOME} under
General>Advanced>use custom workspace

Answer 1

The failure is due to you choose build step of Execute window batch command. But your Jenkins slave machine (where your test script resides) is a linux.
You should choose Execute shell for that build step.

Answer 2

Ok, I'm going to to do a summary of this conversation.
From your project page select configure
Scroll down to build
Under build select shell
enter cd /Users/YourUserNameHere/YourProjectWorkSpace/ProjectFolder/FileName&&npm run protractor
Save
When you click build now. Your project should now build locally from your machine.
