[BUG] Exit handler never called on npm ci

[TobiasBabin]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

This issue exists in the latest npm version

• I am using the latest npm

Current Behavior

I'm seeing this output in our Docker build in the step RUN npm ci:

#12 [base-build 4/5] RUN npm ci
#12 7.165 npm error Exit handler never called!
#12 7.165 npm error This is an error with npm itself. Please report this error at:
#12 7.165 npm error   <https://github.com/npm/cli/issues>
#12 7.166 npm error A complete log of this run can be found in: /root/.npm/_logs/2024-07-19T06_11_36_243Z-debug-0.log

Expected Behavior

RUN npm ci completes successfully and Docker build continues

Steps To Reproduce

Our Dockerfile up to this point:

FROM node:slim as base-build

COPY package.json package-lock.json /site/

WORKDIR /site

RUN npm ci

Extract of package.json:

{
  ..
  "engines": {
    "node": ">=16.16.0"
  },
  ..

Then run docker build -t some-tag .

Environment

• OS Name: Ubuntu 22.04.4 (GitHub runner)

Output of npm config ls:

#10 0.500 ; node bin location = /usr/local/bin/node
#10 0.500 ; node version = v22.5.0
#10 0.500 ; npm local prefix = /site
#10 0.500 ; npm version = 10.8.2
#10 0.500 ; cwd = /site
#10 0.500 ; HOME = /root

This also happens when running npm install with the latest version

Same issue we are facing, any work around?

[IgorOhrimenko]

Yes, just replace from node:22 to node:22.4.

[pietrykovsky]

actually this issue has been reported earlier - #7657

the workaround for this is to change the node-version to older version. in my case it was to change from node-version: '22.x' to node-version: '22.3.x'

[tanusharma10]

hey, I am using node:bookworm-slim

[pietrykovsky]

just use the image with older node version <= 22.4.x

[tanusharma10]

this will affect build size right?

[pietrykovsky]

there might be few mb of difference, try node:22.3.0-bookworm-slim

[tanusharma10]

thanks all that worked.
