Current Behavior
Hi!
I'm currently using the latest LTS version of Node.js (Node: 22.17.0 & npm: 10.9.2) and I'm getting an error when trying to build my Next.js v15.3.3 app project.
I've already tried:
- Deleting the
package-lock.jsonfile - Removing the
node_modulesfolder - Cleaning the cache using:
npm cache clean --force
Here's the error I get when trying to build my app:
npm error Exit handler never called!
npm error This is an error with npm itself. Please report this error at:
npm error <https://github.com/npm/cli/issues>
npm error A complete log of this run can be found in: /root/.npm/_logs/2025-06-30T18_01_53_207Z-debug-0.log
Error: `npm ci` command failed.
You can also try deleting your `package-lock.json` file and run `liara deploy` again.
