Unable to gather build info for Node app w/ npm

[eric-gonzalez-tfs]

Describe the bug

The JFrog CLI is unable to publish build info for my application. I see errors regarding failed checksum calculations.

Current behavior

This shows the initial setup that I have been using to test:

Moments later the app runs it's npm preinstall and prepare scripts, and we start seeing some additional details populate the logs...

• A huge JSON object produced by npm ls
• A long list of failed checksum warnings:

The temp build file looks like:

When I try a dry-run of the publish build info, I don't see any depedencies being captured.

Reproduction steps

rm -rf node_modules 
npm cache clean --force
jf npm --version # should equal 10.2.4
jq '.lockfileVersion' package-lock.json # should equal 3
jf rt bc "build-prefix/my-app" "v1"
export JFROG_CLI_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG
jf npm ci --build-name="build-prefix/my-app" --build-number="v1" --threads=1
jf rt bp "build-prefix/my-app" "v1" --env-exclude="*password*;*psw*;*secret*;*key*;*token*;*auth*;" --dry-run

Expected behavior

The JFrog CLI captures the dependencies correctly and the the rt bp dry run displays the correct dependencies.

[eric-gonzalez-tfs]

Hi JFrog team, do you have any recommendations here?

@omerzi @eyalbe4 @yahavi

[Or-Geva]

@eric-gonzalez-tfs, please remove any post or pull scripts from the package.json as they may interfere with the checksum calculations.s.

[eric-gonzalez-tfs]

@eric-gonzalez-tfs, please remove any post or pull scripts from the package.json as they may interfere with the checksum calculations.s.

Hi @Or-Geva - thank you for the details. I can definitely test that and follow up.

Can you confirm if removing preinstall, postinstall, or other lifecycle scripts from package.json is the official JF recommendation? This approach isn't practical as these scripts are crucial for our workflows.

Please advise on a more sustainable solution.
