stuck at Cleaning dist directory: `./dist`

[hanzoz]

Hi,

I have been stuck with this error without any solution. When I tried to publish the app to my private npm repository and it got stuck when run prepack.

It's stuck at "cleaning dist directory ./dist which doesn't make sense because this script is only to remove any files in dist folder if there is a dist folder but for my case, its a brand new docker so it should have continue.

Is there any solution because I can't seems to get any further except the log below, any help will be much appreciated, thank you.

package.json

"script": {
...
"prepack": "nuxt-module-build build",
"release": "pnpm run build && pnpm publish --no-git-checks",
...
}

Same issue here.

I built a new module with : npx nuxi init -t module my-module, but still the same issue.

Pfff, 3 hours to found a workaround...
In package.json, there is this line :
"dev:prepare": "nuxt-module-build build --stub && nuxt-module-build prepare && nuxi prepare playground",
I removed the nuxt-module-build build --stub && part of the command. Launch pnpm dev:prepare, re-add this command, and now pnpm prepack works.

I absolutely don't know why...

[hanzoz]

I add in new script prepare

"prepare": "nuxt-module-build prepare"
"prepack": "nuxt-module-build build"

I try to runprepare first and then prepack in my gitlab-ci-yml

deploy_module:
  stage: deploy
  image: ${CI_REGISTRY}/base-images/node:latest
  script:
   ...
    - pnpm run prepare
    - pnpm run prepack
    - pnpm publish --no-git-checks

surprisingly it works, weird. so the "prepack": "nuxt-module-build build", somehow solve my problem and you can refer to the log below.

It's a really weird bug that prevent me from building it and deploy.

Hey,
I've investigated the issue a bit. And (at least in my project) it seems that "extends" field of my tsconfig.json was referencing a package like "extends": "@storefront-ui/typescript-config/base.json".

I've filed a PR with a fix here.
But in the meantime the quick fix for your might be to use relative paths (like "extends": "./node_modules/@something/typescript-config") instead of referencing package names directly.

Hope that helps!
