Netlify site name: https://taylorstauss.netlify.app

I can’t figure out what this error is telling me. Something to do with installing NPM or running the build script.

Any ideas?

Congratulations, that is an error I haven’t seen before, while debugging ~20000 builds over my 4 years employed at Netlify!

It’s a bit hard to tell, since we can’t see your code (only our build network can; our staff cannot), but it seems you’ve used “/” as a setting somewhere - for npm installation location maybe? Regardless, the build process does not have write permissions to /, so you’ll want to remove that configuration. We set up npm by default for you to write to a good location that we can cache between builds, so hopefully you won’t need any custom settings like that for your builds to work here.

(Want to see how we set it? that part of our build network is open source: build-image/run-build-functions.sh at xenial · netlify/build-image · GitHub)

@fool, thanks for getting back to me. Glad I could add some variety to your debugging :stuck_out_tongue:

After thinking about your comment I realized that my initial set up used pnpm. I felt like it wasn’t as straight forward to use pnpm on Netlify vs npm, so I reverted. Part of the pnpm setup required the following in my netlify.toml:

[build.environment]
    NPM_FLAGS="--prefix=/"

Once I removed this, the build worked great.

Thanks for the help!
