The workflow runs npm test on line 26, but this will execute all tests including integration tests that require external services (Redis, etcd, Layotto) which are not set up in this workflow.

According to the package.json, npm test runs jest --detectOpenHandles which runs all tests. However, the nodejs.yml workflow uses npm run ci which runs npm run lint && npm run build && npm run test:unit - using only unit tests.

Consider changing line 26 to npm run test:unit to avoid failures due to missing integration test dependencies, or set up the required services similar to the nodejs.yml workflow.
