npm link @nextcloud/vue hangs - can't follow setup steps further

[RayBB]

I'm working on nextcloud/server#43969 (which should probably be moved here)

However, when I follow the development steps here I get stuck on npm link @nextcloud/vue as the process hangs.

I am using a fresh github codespaces instance with 8-core • 32GB RAM following the steps here.

Once the instance was ready I ran

git clone https://github.com/nextcloud-libraries/nextcloud-vue.git
cd nextcloud-vue
npm ci
npm run build
npm link
cd ..
npm link @nextcloud/vue

The command hangs with the following message:

devcontainer@e10ee088eb55:/var/www/html$ npm link @nextcloud/vue
npm WARN ERESOLVE overriding peer dependency

running ps aux | grep link I can see the process has been running at 100% CPU for 16 minutes.
devcont+ 4944 103 3.8 2060812 1249872 pts/1 Rl+ 14:13 16:01 npm link @nextcloud/vue

Is this expected? If so we should add a note about it to the readme here. This is my second time going through the process and getting stuck at this step.

edit: I also tried with yalc and then I got this error when building nextcloud/server:

Try to clone nextcloud-vue not in the server repository directory (/var/www/html/) but to a separated place, for example, to home ~ directory.

That worked.
