If needed, my repo for this project is: github.com/ortieez/dnd-app

I have no clue what to do with this.

Are you using pnpm? If so, can you try these settings for your .npmrc? https://pnpm.io/next/npmrc#virtual-store-dir https://pnpm.io/next/npmrc#virtual-store-dir-max-length (set it something lower than default, like 80?)

mmaietta avatar Jul 17 '24 18:07 mmaietta

Thanks for the tip, however that still does not work. I have tried setting the virtual-store-dir, then tried setting the number to 80, 70, 60, 50.. But nothing worked. I also tried with npm.

HOWEVER I now tried using yarn instead, it somehow worked and the app built successfully.

I am really confused.. but it works with yarn :D

I just encountered the same problem with pnpm and setting virtual-store-dir-max-length=70 helped.

gzdunek avatar Jul 24 '24 14:07 gzdunek

Can confirm, setting virtual-store-dir-max-length=70 then reinstall using pnpm install fix the issue.

hsnfirdaus avatar Jul 25 '24 16:07 hsnfirdaus

先改virtual-store-dir-max-length=70再pnpm install 直接 ok

Finally good, really can't stand it

Running pnpm config set virtual-store-dir-max-length 70 worked just fine! Can someone please help me understand why?

SalimOfShadow avatar Aug 16 '24 19:08 SalimOfShadow

I have the same question: [email protected] Why does not support the default configuration of pnpm

virtual-store-dir-max-length

Default: On Linux/macOS: 120 On Windows: 60

Types: number

@MengLizhi official pnpm hoisting support was added in 26.0.3+ when we migrated from a Golang dependency to a completely new JS-based implementation. Can you please try the latest release v26.0.12?
