Docker with pnpm install hangs on @prisma/client postinstall

[Jolg42]

Bug description

See pnpm/pnpm#4329 and below

How to reproduce

Create an empty directory with a Dockerfile

FROM node:16

WORKDIR /usr/src/app

RUN curl -f https://get.pnpm.io/v6.16.js | node - add --global pnpm

RUN pnpm init -y

RUN --mount=type=cache,id=pnpm-store,target=/root/.pnpm-store\
    pnpm add @prisma/client

CMD ["echo", "end"]

Run docker build . --progress=plain --no-cache

Expected behavior

It should produce a Docker build.

Environment & setup

pnpm 6.30.1

[Jolg42]

Workaround for now:

Set ENV PRISMA_SKIP_POSTINSTALL_GENERATE=true in the Dockerfile

Or a different target (seems that any value works there)

RUN --mount=type=cache,id=pnpm-virtual,target=doesnoexists \
    pnpm add @prisma/client

I have this today with:

• prisma: 4.0.0
• pnpm: 7.25.1
• macOS

Possibly notable, I'm in a monorepo with an .npmrc of:

public-hoist-pattern[]=*prisma*
auto-install-peers=true
legacy-peer-deps=true
node-linker=hoisted

Hey folks, we have just improved our pnpm detection logic to fix this issue, and we will release this in our 4.13.0 release. That said, you can try it now by installing our dev version. npm install prisma@dev. Feedback welcome!

Humm, still happening to me with @prisma/client@4.15.0.

Setting ENV PRISMA_SKIP_POSTINSTALL_GENERATE=true allowed me to work around the issue for now.

For anyone else googling this issue that isn't pnpm. My post-install was getting stuck because I had @prisma/generator-helper with a mismatched version to the other prisma packages.

npm install also hangs. ENV PRISMA_SKIP_POSTINSTALL_GENERATE=true does not works for me.

@gamedevsam @WesleyYue @erlangparasu please create a new issue with some reproduction steps. Also, you can try to debug by setting an environment variable before hand DEBUG="prisma:*", this could give us valuable information.

When I uncheck “Use Rosetta for x86/amd64 emulation on Apple Silicon” in my docker settings. It works!

The main issue here is that the post-install script (prisma generate) blocks the installation

What worked for me :

FROM node:16

ARG DATABASE_URL

WORKDIR /app

COPY . .

# Install app dependencies

RUN yarn install  --ignore-scripts
RUN npx prisma generate
RUN yarn build
RUN apt-get install chromium -y
RUN apt-get install libreoffice -y


EXPOSE 8000
ENV PORT 8000

CMD [ "yarn", "start:prod" ]
