Npm workspace lint in pipeline loops and crashes

[Carl Hodder]

Basically that, it appears you can't run npm --workspace commands in the pipeline:

+ npm run lint

> frontend-next@0.1.0 lint /opt/atlassian/pipelines/agent/build

> npm run lint --workspaces

> frontend-next@0.1.0 lint /opt/atlassian/pipelines/agent/build

> npm run lint --workspaces

> frontend-next@0.1.0 lint /opt/atlassian/pipelines/agent/build

> npm run lint --workspaces

> frontend-next@0.1.0 lint /opt/atlassian/pipelines/agent/build

> npm run lint --workspaces

Continues until it crashes, and then you get a extremely large number of errors.

The first of which is:

npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE

npm ERR! syscall spawn sh

npm ERR! file sh

npm ERR! path sh

npm ERR! errno EAGAIN

npm ERR! frontend-next@0.1.0 lint: `npm run lint --workspaces`

npm ERR! spawn sh EAGAIN

npm ERR!

npm ERR! Failed at the frontend-next@0.1.0 lint script.

npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

and then this repeated about 100 times:

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:

npm ERR! /root/.npm/_logs/2021-08-19T23_27_12_631Z-debug.log

npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE

npm ERR! errno 1

npm ERR! frontend-next@0.1.0 lint: `npm run lint --workspaces`

npm ERR! Exit status 1

npm ERR!

npm ERR! Failed at the frontend-next@0.1.0 lint script.

npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

The pipeline is only on step 2:

1) npm install

2) npm run lint

And lint script is 'npm run lint --workspaces', I have three apps. Pipeline uses image:node-12.22.5

nvm - the official node 12 images install an old npm - 6.14.14, and npm workspaces are in npm 7.
