forntend yarn build:prod failed

[A H]

Hi!

I want to compile dspace-angular to set up the front end. All requirements are installed successfully. When I enter

yarn build:prod

the process fails after aprox. 3-4 min (after setup, building and sealing) and exits with the following:

⠙ Generating server application bundles (phase: setup)...    [webpack.cache.PackFileCacheStrategy] acb35c433252878e0d45638aac56ea6b5.pack: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat '/dspace-anga6b5/index.pack'

any ideas on what is the actuall problem and how to fix it?

Thanks in advance

All the best

Hi Anna,

Try running a clean, reinstall and then recompile.  It sounds like the compilation is complaining that an expected file isn't found.  That may imply that you need to do this:

# Clean out everything from last install/build

yarn clean

# Install all dependencies

yarn install

# Build again

yarn build:prod

If that doesn't work, you may want to verify you are using a supported version of Yarn and Node: https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Installing+DSpace#InstallingDSpace-FrontendRequirements

Hi Tim,

thanks for the input.

I ran your suggestions with

yarn cache clean

(since just yarn clean was  not an option) and nothing changed.

Both Yarn and Node are installed in the supported versions and I still get the same error message.

Do you have any further advise?

All the best

Hi Anna,

This error is very confusing to me & not one I've seen before in a build.

What platform (Operating System) are you using?  Do you have a decent amount of available memory? (say 4-6GB?) 

What version of DSpace did you download to install?  Could you try downloading it again to make sure the original download wasn't somehow corrupted?

What does "yarn -v" return?  What does "node -v" return?

Something seems "off" and I'm not sure what it could be.  You could try giving Node.js more memory explicitly as described here: https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x/Performance+Tuning+DSpace#PerformanceTuningDSpace-GiveNode.jsmorememory  

 But, the error you are sharing doesn't sound like a memory error to me.  So, I'm not exactly sure what is going on. I think we need more information about your setup to understand what might have gone wrong.
