To Reproduce Steps (or project) to reproduce the behavior:

pool: vmImage: 'vs2017-win2016'

steps:

• task: NodeTool@0 inputs: versionSpec: '10.x'

• powershell: | echo installing gauge npm install -g @getgauge/cli displayName: 'install gauge'

• powershell: | echo starting gauge test gauge run specs displayName: 'gauge test'

mvn -X -e test-compile gauge:execute -DspecsDir=specs/mytest -Denv="win_chrome" -Dtags="4" -Dflags="--max-retries-count=2,--verbose,--strategy=eager"

can you try running gauge -v as a command before invoking mvn? The error seems to suggest that mvn is not able to locate gauge binary.
