Could not unpack Node, corrupt deflate stream

[garycourt]

I was trying to upgrade Node.js to v18.15.0 using Volta v1.0.8 under WSL1 running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, and I get the following error:

Volta error: Could not unpack Node v18.15.0

Please ensure the correct version is specified.
Error details written to /home/user/.volta/log/volta-error-2023-04-03_18_54_22.854.log

Please ensure the correct version is specified.

Error cause: corrupt deflate stream

Any idea what's going on here? There's lots of storage space on this drive.

After this error, I tried removing /home/user/.volta directory, re-installing Volta (v1.1.1), and installing Node.js again. I still get the same error.

I also tried an older version of Node.js (v18.14.2), and it also gives me the same error.

We ran into this on our CI pipeline. Looks like it could be an intermittent / network issue however @garycourt as it seems to be working for us now :eyes:

I just gave it another try, and it also appears to be working for me now as well.

Thanks. Closing issue.

same issue: Error cause: corrupt deflate stream nx cloud ci is unable to run because of this error... i get it twice a month minimum...

[garycourt]

I ran into this issue again today. I'm going to reopen this as I think someone looking into it is warranted.

Commenting because I'm starting to see this more frequently. Went from occasionally in CI/CD pipeline to team members reporting it to me.

Also having the same issues. very frustrating if you have to release something quickly and this just fails without any workaround
