M1 error getting installed npm version: error running npm command: No preset version installed for command npm

Description of the issue

Hello,

Just recently, using the Run NPM step stopped working on my M1 Medium Bitrise pipeline. It gives me the following error:

Config:
- Workdir: /Users/vagrant/git/app
- Command: ci
- NpmVersion: 
- UseCache: false
Autodetecting npm version
Checking package.json for npm version
Could not read version information from package.json

$ npm "--version"
error getting installed npm version: error running npm command: No preset version installed for command npm
Please install a version by running one of the following:
asdf install nodejs 14
or add one of the following versions in your config file at /Users/vagrant/.tool-versions
nodejs 12.22.9
nodejs 16.19.1
nodejs 19.8.1

which is weird, because I have a Script step earlier in the pipeline that using npm explicitly like and it succeeds:

+ npm install -g appium@next --unsafe-perm=true --allow-root

Environment:

Where did the issue happen?

It’s running on BitRise
Xcode 14.1.x, on macOS 13.2 (Ventura) M1 Medium

Which build Step causes the issue and which version of the step?

Run NPM Command v1.1.6 (I also tried 1.1.4)

Reproducibility

Does a “Rebuild” help? (You can trigger a rebuild from the Build’s page, by clicking the “Rebuild” button in the top right corner of a finished build) : NO
Does a rebuild without caches help? (You can remove the Cache:Pull and Cache:Push steps temporarily to not to use the cache, or you can delete all the caches on the Settings tab of the app. : NO
Does the issue happen sporadically, or every time? : Every time
Does upgrading the build Step to the latest version help? : NO
When did the issue start? : Today (June 22, 2023)

Local reproduction

Can it be reproduced on your own Mac/PC by following our local debug guide? Please follow at least the first section (“Testing with a full clean git clone”) to make sure to test the state of the code what bitrise.io will get when it does a git clone in the clean environment! If possible please note which sections you tried.

No

Local reproduction: Linux / Android (docker based) stack builds

It’s not on Linux or Docker.

New info, this appears to only be happening in the git directory.

I have logged into the machine running the pipeline using the Remote Access instructions (Remote access - Bitrise Docs) and when I run npm --version in the home directory, I get that it’s version 8.19.3 but when I go into the git directory, then it complains:

The same problem started occurring for us since yesterday. We were able to solve it by deleting the .nvmrc file in our project.

I managed to work around this issue by copying the .tool-versions file found in /Users/vagrant into /Users/vagrant/git with the following step right before the npm command:

    - script@1:
        inputs:
        - content: |-
            #!/usr/bin/env bash
            # fail if any commands fails
            set -e
            # make pipelines' return status equal the last command to exit with a non-zero status, or zero if all commands exit successfully
            set -o pipefail
            # debug log
            set -x

            # write your script here
            cp ../.tool-versions ./.tool-versions

            # or run a script from your repository, like:
            # bash ./path/to/script.sh
            # not just bash, e.g.:
            # ruby ./path/to/script.rb

The important bit is cp ../.tool-versions ./.tool-versions

If you are using the workflow editor on bitrise, you simply need to run that command with the “Script” step

I have submitted a ticket to their support, hopefully this issues gets taken care of soon. It’s not fun to come back from a weekend with your builds failing

I started getting the same error but for node

“No preset version installed for command node”

Adding a .tool-versions file to my repository fixed it for me.

niko.le · June 28, 2023, 11:02am

I fixed the npm --version error with your solution but my unit tests are unable to run with this error
TypeError: Cannot assign to read only property 'performance' of object '[object global]' at Object.<anonymous> (node_modules/react-native/jest/setup.js:401:20)

anybody have this same issue?

Response from the bitrise team to the ticket:

I apologize for the inconvenience, our recent stack update brought some changes, notably our use of ASDF as the Ruby version manager. asdf was already in use on our stacks but one of the issues that users are facing is that If the project has a .node-version file in the project root, ASDF now tries to activate that version. Previously this file was ignored.

I have seen users resolve this by removing the .node-version alternatively you can add a script (step) that uses asdf to install the desired version.

asdf install nodejs <version you want>
asdf global nodejs <version you want>

I hope this information is useful, apologies for the inconvenience once again.

Hello,

I’ve been facing the problem that my Workflow has to use ruby “3.1.0”. So according to [Ruby versions on Bitrise - Bitrise Docs](https://bitrise ruby guide), I added this as a script step…

asdf install ruby 3.1.0
# bitrise said "ruby 3.1.0 is already installed" 😑
asdf global ruby 3.1.0

But I noticed that even though add a step and install and global, I found not be able to run these commands, fastlane, pod, gem.

So I’ve checked what shims are exist.

# After asdf install, asdf global... even asdf reshim
+ ls /Users/vagrant/.asdf/shims
appcenter

Then I checked asdf has changed…

+ which ruby
/Users/Vagrant/.asdf/shims/ruby
+ ruby -v
ruby 3.1.0p0 (2021-12-25 revision fb4df44d16) [arm64-darwin21]
+ asdf current ruby
ruby            3.1.0           /Users/vagrant/.tool-versions

But I will get something…

gem install fastlane
/var/folders/69/qgnyrbkx23dbp0p6p_b6bc9m0000gn/T/bitrise289696288/step_src/._script_cont: /Users/vagrant/.asdf/installs/ruby/3.1.0/bin/gem: /Users/vagrant/ruby31/bin/ruby: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

gem install fastlane
/var/folders/69/qgnyrbkx23dbp0p6p_b6bc9m0000gn/T/bitrise289696288/step_src/._script_cont: /Users/vagrant/.asdf/installs/ruby/3.1.0/bin/gem: /Users/vagrant/ruby31/bin/ruby: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

gem
/Users/Vagrant/.asdf/lib/commands/command-exec.bash: /Users/Vagrant/.asdf/installs/ruby/3.1.0/bin/gem: /Users/vagrant/ruby31/bin/ruby: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
/Users/Vagrant/.asdf/lib/commands/command-exec.bash: line 28: /Users/Vagrant/.asdf/installs/ruby/3.1.0/bin/gem: Undefined error: 0

So I guess that It seems to be asdf install is not working. Do you guys have any ideas for that…?? I’ve been spending for this so long time.
