Hey, boombeastic uses this npm package for the file manager functionality:


And it looks like it has a weird reference to the sh file mentioned in the error message (that reference tries to escape the project root):

I think it should be simply bin/node-file-manager.sh instead.

Maybe this was working with older npm versions before, but definitely does not work now.
The correct way would be to fix it in the node-file-manager module, but I cannot submit a pull request because github is having issues :slight_smile:

Another way to fix this might be trying a base image with an older NPM version.

How do I go about this?

Hey, as Roman suggested I have created a PR with the fix. Once it is merged, a re-build will fix it.

10

Can the repository be forked until the original is merged? What file would I change to redirect to the fork itself?

Hey there,
I would recommend waiting for the upstream PR to be merged and using that.

But to answer your question, here is the workaround:
Change the line RUN npm install --unsafe-perm -g node-file-manager here to RUN npm install -g https://github.com/iamsolankiamit/node-file-manager/tarball/patch-1

The boombastic project should now build successfully.

Thanks!
