Hi gregor.wolf,

Ofcourse i will, but first i'd like to share a few details about this issue.

As many might know, this error (one that looks like it) comes up when there is not enough disk space assigned to application. In this case it's a bit different, because it's happening during the build/staging and the reason for this error, is because it excedes the max size (1.5GB) during build. The actual application is no where near 1.5GB, but because of a caching issue in some NPM versions, the application excedes the max size.

To solve this, add following to applications environment variables.
npm_config_cache: .npmcache
npm_config_prefer_offline:true

Hope this can help someone else 🙂

Amazing! We had this issue for a long time, but this finally solved our hacky workaround. Even a support ticket was filed and it wasn't figured out.

What I did, is add these properties to the specific modules that failed inside mta.yaml file:

 properties:
      npm_config_cache: .npmcache
      npm_config_prefer_offline: true
