Failed to install a npm module because of a failed git clone
Hello,
I am trying to setup backend on railway but I can't manage to have a working build.
I have a classic node.js (latest lts version) backend but one my dependency is "xlsx-wasm-parser" (a wasm module to parse excel files).
My repo is a monorepo and I am using PNPM (latest version).
Here is the build error:
#11 4.731 ERROR Command failed with exit code 128: /bin/git clone [email protected]:exsjabe/xlsx-wasm-node.git /root/.local/share/pnpm/store/v3/tmp/_tmp_1_8d46b68386e34602d4725b8910904617

So as we can see we fail to git clone a repo because it's trying to clone it through SSH.
Does anyone knows how to fix that ?11 Replies

If I setup a Dockerfile, can it bypass that bug? 🤔
Solution
Can you try cloning it over http ?
I can't because it's PNPM doing all the work.
On my package.json I have that : "xlsx-wasm-parser": "^0.1.2",
But if you look at the repo : https://github.com/NotoriousSledge/xlsx-wasm-parser
In the dependencies you have that :
"xlsx-wasm-browser": "github:exsjabe/xlsx-wasm-browser#e88ef46",
"xlsx-wasm-node": "github:exsjabe/xlsx-wasm-node#01b8f40",
Or maybe there is an ENV variable to setup to force cloning over http 🤔
seems like it just needs the ssh binary?
yeeaahh buy whyyy...
isn't cloning done with ssh by default?
yes it's ssh by default.
At the end to make it works, I copied the file from xlsx-wasm-node and xlsx-wasm-parser on my repo so like this no deps to clone but this is not a long term solution (but I need to make it work right now for my client 😅).
have you taken what mad said into account? surely there's some kind of config via env that you could change
I tried with changing the npmrc and gitconfig files but it doesn't work. What variable can I add on the env for that?
I am not aware of anything myself, it's something you would need to read the applicable documentation for
