We are intermittently seeing build failures when we try to deploy our code with azure static web apps. Often, the deployment fails with the following message:
npm warn exec The following package was not found and will be installed: @azure/static-web-apps-cli@2.0.4 npm warn deprecated inflight@1.0.6: This module is not supported, and leaks memory. Do not use it. Check out lru-cache if you want a good and tested way to coalesce async requests by a key value, which is much more comprehensive and powerful. npm warn deprecated glob@7.2.3: Glob versions prior to v9 are no longer supported npm warn deprecated rimraf@2.7.1: Rimraf versions prior to v4 are no longer supported npm warn deprecated sudo-prompt@8.2.5: Package no longer supported.

The
spawn ETXTBSYerror occurs when a file is being accessed or modified by another process, which can happen during deployment. This is especially common in environments like GitHub Actions, where multiple processes may try to read or write to the same files simultaneously.- Sometimes file locks are temporary, and restarting the process can resolve the issue. If you're using a CI/CD pipeline, such as GitHub Actions, consider
restartingthe build job. - Outdated npm packages can occasionally lead to deployment problems. Clearing the
npm cacheand reinstalling the dependencies may help resolve these issues.
npm cache clean --force npm install- The warnings in the logs regarding deprecated npm packages
(glob, rimraf, and sudo-prompt)suggest that the current versions are no longer supported. To prevent any compatibility issues, please update the following packages to their latest versions.
npm install glob@latest rimraf@latest sudo-prompt@latest- You can check if other packages in your
package.jsonfile need updates by running the command below.
npm outdated- Make sure no files in your build directory are being used by other processes. If you're on Linux or macOS, you can use these commands to check for locked files.
lsof | grep <filename>- Make sure that you should use latest version of CLI.
npm install -g @azure/static-web-apps-cli@latestAfter completing the above checks, please re-run the deployment. If you are using GitHub Actions, you can manually trigger the build or redeploy the Azure Static Web App by starting a new pipeline run.
