I'm trying to add Nx to my TS monorepo.
On first try, I installed it (pnpm i nx) but any run would hang on indefinitely. So I removed it, tried to reinstall it but now it hangs at postinstall
node_modules/.pnpm/nx@19.5.0_@swc+core@1.7.10/node_modules/nx: Running postinstall script
I tried other approach like pnpm dlx nx@latest init or even npx nx@latest init but it hangs at
NX 🧐 Checking dependencies
Also tried pnpm dlx create-nx-workspace from scratch but it hangs on the second step
Creating your workspace in test-nx
I tried multiple versions of Nx (from 19.5.0 to 19.5.7), multiple versions of PNPM and NPM. I cannot pinpoint what common operation hangs everytime. I removed node_modules, lock files, purge cache but nothing works and I'm out of solution.
Do you have any leads?
Env
Ran into this issue. It was due to a .gitignore file in one of the parent directories of my nx repo with the following contents:
*
nx post install stopped hanging after this .gitignore had been deleted, this might not be the cause of your issue, but you can try moving your project to a directory on a higher level with less parents to see if this issue still persists
