Nx operations hangs indefinitely
Current Behavior
I'm trying to add Nx to my TS monorepo.
On first try, I installed it (pnpm i nx) but any run would hang on indefinitely. So I removed it, tried to reinstall it but now it hangs at postinstall
node_modules/.pnpm/[email protected]_@[email protected]/node_modules/nx: Running postinstall script
I tried other approach like pnpm dlx nx@latest init or even npx nx@latest init but it hangs at
NX ๐ง Checking dependencies
Also tried pnpm dlx create-nx-workspace from scratch but it hangs on the second step
Creating your workspace in test-nx
Expected Behavior
Inits operations should complete gracefully
GitHub Repo
No response
Steps to Reproduce
pnpm dlx create-nx-workspace

Additional Information
A common logs I see with NODE_DEBUG=* on all the nx command is

I tried emptying /tmp, restarting, nx clean but the issue persists
Not sure if the issue is related, but I get a similar behavior when upgrading from NX 18 to NX 19. My installation gets stuck on the postinstall nx step forever. If I ignore the scripts when installing modules, subsequent nx commands get stuck as well.
Using: Node v18.16.0 PNPM 8.12.1 OS Sonoma 14.4.1 (23E224) Apple M1 Pro
We have some members of our team experiencing this issue too, one reverted to the last version of nx we were on (19.2.3) to get around this fail to install. Would be great to get a fix for this.
This occurs on create-nx-workspace for you? Which answers did you provide to the prompts? If possible, is there a repo that I can run nx init in to reproduce the issue?
Can you also see if any of these environment variables resolve the issue?
NX_DAEMON=falseNX_ISOLATE_PLUGINS=false
It try create-nx-workspace with the env vars, same result
โฏ NX_DAEMON=false NX_ISOLATE_PLUGINS=false pnpm dlx create-nx-workspace

I tried to use what seems like basic option to remove complexity but nothing changed.
I have the same problem, both create-nx-workspace and nx migrate stop responding at postinstall.
The last version that worked is v19.4.4

I've suffered from this issue in bitbucket pipelines... ๐ Sometimes it takes so many time to run postinstall

I have the same problem with pnpm/npm/yarn. It works on my second mac with the exact same repository and node version, so it must be something outside the repository. - Thats prob the reason why no one can reproduce this bug.
NX 19.8.2, Node v20.17.0, PNPM 9.11.0, Apple M2 Pro
Edit:
I have found a workaround:
if i move the project to the /tmp folder and run pnpm i from there, it seems to work.
although i killed all processes accessing files in the project with lsof, the postinstall script only works in /tmp because the files are magically not locked in get_files. unfortunately the nx setup is too complex for me to debug it myself.

Known workarounds that probably solve this:
- Remove from home directory any global .gitignore file (when used for dotfiles for example) suggested here: https://github.com/nrwl/nx/issues/28148#issuecomment-2480752077
- Move the project out of the users home directory as suggested here: https://github.com/nrwl/nx/issues/28148#issuecomment-2390682884

Something is definitely weird with the postinstall script. Here is how I fixed it for me, as it was hanging as well in Docker containers: https://github.com/nrwl/nx/issues/28148#issuecomment-2501589222
