EPERM: operation not permitted, symlink. Outcome: Build error occurred.

Cannot find matching keyid — RUN --mount=type=cache,id=pnpm,target=/pnpm/store pnpm install --prod --frozen-lockfile. Tension: The deployment now works again, the app is back up. Outcome: I found a quick fix by changing my Dockerfile.

I can't run my turbo repo in development mode due to this error. — Pnpm turbo repo command failed with exit code 3221225781.Error while loading shared libraries. Tension: changing node and pnpm version according to my project package.json file and ensured they are compatible with each other but no use. Outcome: Download the `Windows Installer (.msi)` from https://nodejs.org/en/download.

EPERM EPERM: operation not permitted, unlink — trying to update to the newest version by running the command: `pnpm self-update`. Tension: pnpm tries to delete its own .exe file as part of the updating procedure, but can't delete the .exe file as the program (pnpm) is already running. Outcome: pnpm won't update.

any `run` would hang on indefinitely — I installed it (`pnpm i nx`). Tension: now it hangs at postinstall. Outcome: nx post install stopped hanging after this `.gitignore` had been deleted.

The error is caused by one of your "scripts" in your package.json — when I deployed the app. Tension: "preinstall": "npx only-allow pnpm". Outcome: by default app services tries to run npm install.

`ENOENT: no such file or directory, mkdir '/prod'` — I tried running pnpm deploy in many other folders. Tension: I tried to run in a folder that existed. Outcome: so I tried to run in a folder that existed.

pnpm scripts do not accept Node's --env-file feature

ERR_PNPM_SYMLINK_FAILED Error: UNKNOWN: unknown error, symlink — I get this error in a particular drive in my pc(letter D). Tension: Whenever I try to install any package in any project, I get this error. Outcome: other drives, it works fine.

pnpm command is not available after global installation

pnpm install fails with ERR_PNPM_LINKING_FAILED on Windows 11

ERROR Unknown option: 'legacy-peer-deps' — pnpm install --legacy-peer-deps. Tension: Did you mean 'strict-peer-dependencies'?

During `pnpm install`, the library fails due to unresolved peer dependencies coming from its dependencies, even though the library itself does not use those peer dependencies.

functions failing because it was trying to run code in a folder that only contained the path to the folder in the virtual store — After running `pnpm install` inside the Azure Function app package. Tension: `node_modules/@azure/storage-queue` would not have any files, just, `../../../node_modules/.pnpm` symlink which wouldn't work because those files were outside of the Function App and therefore not deployed. Outcome: Add `.npmrc` at root and add `config node-linker=hoisted`.

WARN Load npm builtin configs failed — anytime I run something like `pnpm i`. Outcome: upgrade to `pnpm 7.13.6`.

ERR_PNPM_ERR_PNPM_UNEXPECTED_PKG_CONTENT_IN_STORE

Deploying to Vercel fails to apply the desired npm install flags (e.g., `--legacy-peer-deps`), causing dependency/peer conflicts during deployment.

error This project's package.json defines "packageManager": "yarn@4.1.1". However the current global version of Yarn is 1.22.22. — All builds are throwing this error. Tension: Local build is fine, but the thing is that have touched any configuration or package.json from the latest successful build. Outcome: Error: Command "yarn install" exited with 1.

Helm installation of Sentry fails because the post-install Kubernetes job (sentry-db-check) times out and the release does not complete.

the macos job keeps on hanging — I'm trying to set up a CI/CD pipeline for a flutter desktop app on Github Actions. Tension: the step it's stuck on is the codesign. Outcome: running the same command locally works fine.

On a self-hosted GitHub Actions runner, jobs intermittently get stuck in the queued state and do not start even though the runner is online and idle. This happens randomly on various workflow steps/jobs.

echo ACTIONS_RUNTIME_TOKEN=$(env | grep ACTIONS_RUNTIME_TOKEN) — act -j build-and-deploy -W .github/workflows/deploy_frontend.yml. Tension: I have to run with the extra `--artifact-server-path /tmp/artifacts`. Outcome: it solves it.

the nohup command never terminates, so the SSH connection and the workflow itself do not finish — deploying code to an EC2 instance. Tension: the Go build file is created and executed correctly. Outcome: How can I resolve this issue?

the command is failing with a "relative path" error specifically for the submodules — we use GitHub Actions to automate our Maven build process.

docker-entrypoint.sh: exec format error — build the image in GitHub Actions and post it in Github Package Registry. Outcome: You have a broken image.

GitHub Actions workflows fail randomly when installing setuptools

the workflow hangs on the "Post Run actions/checkout@v3" step until it eventually times out — deploying an Angular app to Azure Static Web Apps using GitHub Actions. Tension: the build process completes without errors, but the workflow hangs. Outcome: Azure couldn't do; hence it got hang & the process ran indefinitely.

Error: Process completed with exit code 1. — shell: /usr/bin/bash -e {0}. Tension: when it returns 1, all the rest of my action goes smoothly, but on the other hand, it exit me with this error. Outcome: It allows me to see if there has been a cha nge in my manifest file.

ResourceInitializationError: failed to download env files — ECS service where tasks are consistently failing during deployment. Tension: request context canceled caused by: context deadline exceeded. Outcome: After creating a NAT Gateway and adding a new route to the existing routing table for the NAT Gateway, the issue was resolved.

Set-MpPreference : Operation failed with the following error: 0x%1!x! — Set-MpPreference -ExclusionPath D:\vpostest. Tension: I have already enabled this feature and restarted my computer, and even check with 'Get-MpComputerStatus'. However, the same error keeps appearing. Outcome: Why is this happening?
