AEM Front end pipeline build issue

[jezwn]

I have setted up the frontend pipeline for cloud and is working smoothly in one of my sandbox instances.
The same theme sources when trying to build on client environment, it is getting failed. 
Both the sandbox and client environment uses the same node version and all the content inside package.json and packag-lock.json are exactly the same.

Below is the error Im getting when executing the FE pipeline in client environment:

Both are having the AEM release version: 2025.1.19149.20250116T154450Z

Any insights?
Thanks

Hi @jezwn 

Check if any --legacy-peer-deps is set in the file. If yes, remove that and try to build the same

This will cause npm install command to alter the package-lock.json file.

Other way you can try below -

Try to the remove the package-lock.json and run the build. This will generate new file during build

Hope this helps

Thanks

@jezwn Deleting the package-lock.json and re-running the pipeline should do the trick.

Hi @jezwn ,

Your package-lock.json file specifies npm@11.0.0, but your client environment is using npm@9.9.4. In this case you can try below steps:

1. If your sandbox uses npm@11.0.0 but the client environment is on npm@9.9.4, update npm in the client environment.

npm install -g npm@11.0.0

2. npm ci strictly enforces the lockfile integrity, if there is any mismatch

rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json
npm install
npm ci

3. If nvm (Node Version Manager) is being used, check which version is active.

nvm list
nvm use <expected-version>

Fixed same issue with this steps.

Thank you @Shiv_Prakash_Patel

1. Update npm in the client environment:
Ensure that the client environment uses the same version of npm as your sandbox environment (i.e., npm@11.0.0). You can update npm by running:

npm install -g npm@11.0.0

After updating npm, you can try running the pipeline again.
2. Re-generate package-lock.json: It may also help to regenerate the package-lock.json to ensure it's correctly aligned with the npm version you're using. You can do this by following these steps:
    - Delete the existing package-lock.json file
    - Run npm install in your sandbox environment to regenerate a new package-lock.json

    - Commit the new package-lock.json to your repository

    - Then, run the pipeline again in the client environment.
