Hello @bling and welcome to this community 👋

I’m not an expert on `npm` at all, to say the truth, for me it’s always a pain in the neck to use it.  
Anyway.  
The error message you provided seems to indicate that there is a missing module called `semver` in your Jenkins environment.

If you have access to your agent, first update `npm`:

```bash
npm install -g npm@latest

```

Then check is npm is installed where your pipeline expects it to be:

`which npm`

Then you could go with the install of `semver` itself:

```bash
npm cache clean --force
npm install semver

```

in your project repo, or

```bash
npm install -g semver

```

to get it installed globally.
