`astro` .bin file disappeared

[calm talon]

suddenly the astro.js bin no longer is moved to the .bin folder of the node_modules. It is the only one, of all the node executables, even astro-check.js moves correctly. I tried deleting the node_modules, regenerating the lockfile, removing and adding astro, I don't understand why it happened and why the astro executable is special..
I've been working on this project for months without any issues, added some dep (unrelated) and this started happening.

Any ideas?
astro version: any v4 and any v5.beta,
pnpm version: v9.2.0

Can you try pnpm install --force? This should redownload and fix any broken dependencies

[calm talon]

Already have done that

will try again

how fucked up is that?

[median loom]

hmm. that's odd. does this happen in all projects, or just one?

[calm talon]

Only this one, and only astro specifically is missing from the list

I don't even know if this is even related to astro, as looking at the package.json and the files shows like it should work

but I don't know who to ask lmao

[median loom]

does the project have any overrides or other package manager configs?

[calm talon]

none whatsoever

[median loom]

hmm, this is a weird one 😅
is the project repo public?

[calm talon]

no.. 😔

I wanted it to, but our competition just forked the project and tried to sell it as their own

[median loom]

ok, no worries. hmm, does --shamefully-hoist help at all? I wonder if it might output the binaries differently

[median loom]

yikes. that's awful

[calm talon]

that might change things, I'll try this out

[calm talon]

yeah first time this has ever happened to me, I was shocked

[clever echo]

This might be the best flag I've ever learned of

Carry on

[calm talon]

literally threw their project away and forked ours

license be damned

[clever echo]

"Were gonna make so much money, let the lawyers handle that shit later"

[calm talon]

no dice

[calm talon]

it's a really small product, not hard to create, there's not even much money in it

[median loom]

final idea I have off the top of my head, does cloning the project into a fresh directory help at all 😅 (might be worth deleting the lockfile to regenerate that at the same time too?)

[calm talon]

I'll give that a try

[clever echo]

Any chance you have an SSR adapter?

[calm talon]

I do

[clever echo]

Well this is probly not related at all, but I recently had a super weird issue with one of the global Astro methods not working

Tried many reinstalls of lockfile/node modules/etc recloned all that jazz nothing work

Ended up fixing it by swapping adapters (in my case i swapped netlify to node) and then back again

Idk if it would help but it defeinitelly seemed like I had some kind of weird artifacts or leftover garbage clinging around that was effecting it

[calm talon]

That sounds like the level of arcane I'm on

lets give it a go

[clever echo]

It was very weird, here is the thread if you are interested https://discord.com/channels/830184174198718474/1304093902378237962

[calm talon]

nope 😢

[calm talon]

cool-looking game tho

"downloaded 1" hmm, maybe something changed?

[clever echo]

I like them odds

[clever echo]

Thanks! I wish it was my game, full credit to Wanderlost Studios and their insane giga chad 2 man 10x dev team 😛

I just made a fun utility site haha

[calm talon]

to bolster I nuked node_modules and package-lock

and.....

I don't get it

[clever echo]

😭

[calm talon]

wtf is even going on

[clever echo]

Have you tried running it on a different machine just for Shiz and Giggles to see?

[calm talon]

Don't have one at hand rn

[clever echo]

Ah

[calm talon]

I will try the re-cloning thing

[clever echo]

Well I know you don't know me from the next average joe but if you want to add me to the repo I would be happy to test 👍 it for you, though I only have my macbook atm

[calm talon]

I'll take you up on that if the git gambit falls flat

oh my god

[clever echo]

very strange

[calm talon]

Ok, a friend told me to try to purge the pnpm store, maybe its corrupted

[median loom]

haha, just found that page in docs
https://pnpm.io/uninstall#removing-the-global-content-addressable-store

[clever echo]

At this point I feel like its all worth a shot haha

[calm talon]

takes a while to run :V

how

[median loom]

hmm. it might be worth switching to another package manager for just this project if you're the only dev (or discuss it with your team if you're on one)

[clever echo]

Wow lets not get dramatic now, no need to inflict NPM on anyone (kidding)

[calm talon]

I FINALLY SOLVED IT.

[median loom]

what was the cause?

[calm talon]

This package does not exist, so it's not linking to anything (fluke on my part), not a single clue how, but it launched some rube goldberg machine that caused the issue. Removed that line, pnpm i, works. Add it back in, pnpm i broken

I know that correlation is not causation, but this correlating perfectly to that is all I care about, this goes YEET

[clever echo]

Good find, out of curiosity how did you find out the package didn't exist? Did you just look them all up online? xD

[calm talon]

Yes

[calm talon]

Most I know for a fact that they exist, so like I don't need to check dprint or unlazy, it's not that bothersome

like 3 candidates

[clever echo]

Nice, some good old fashioned detective work haha

Glad you got it working ❤️

If your issue is resolved, please help by doing the following two steps:

1. From the ellipses (3-dot menu) in the top-right corner of the post (not the first message), edit the tags to include the Solved tag.
2. From the same ellipses, select Close Post.
   Your post will still be available to search and can be re-opened simply by replying in it. Closing a post moves it down with older posts, so we can more easily focus on issues that still need to be resovled.
   Thank you for your help!

[calm talon]

Idk if solved is the right verb, kinda feel like I uncovered something deeper in pnpm... But thats for someone else to stumble-upon, it seems...
