Steps to reproduce

Hello everyone,
During deployment, the process fails when executing npm:install:

[116.203.73.113]  error  in deploy.php on line 29:
[116.203.73.113] run kill -9 -
[116.203.73.113] err bash: line 1: kill: -: arguments must be process or job IDs
[116.203.73.113] exit code 1 (General error)

I’ve tried using both the npm contrib recipe and the webpack-encore contrib recipe, but the issue persists.
Interestingly, running npm ci manually works without any issues.

NPM Version: 10.2.4

Has anyone encountered this issue before or might have an idea how to fix it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance 🙌

Try to increase timeout for this command. I think your npm install is too long and Deployer tries to kill it but unsuccessfully.

I already set it to 10 Minutes and 20 Minutes...
If i cd into the release and manually execute a npm install or npm ci it finishes after 5 seconds.

After closer Insepction it seems like it installs all the dependencies with out a problem. The node_modules folder is filled with modules and after 5 Seconds the count, which was determined via ls -1 | wc -l, does not change. Even in old releases the count is the same.

It seems like it has a problem with finishing the install process... I guess
