npm error Error: command failed
npm error   in workspace: @aceik-demo/aceik-demo@0.0.0
npm error   at location: /home/runner/work/aceik-sandpit-xmc/aceik-sandpit-xmc/src/rendering/apps/aceik-demo
Error: Process completed with exit code 1.

To Reproduce

1. npx create-sitecore-jss nextjs,nextjs-sxa,nextjs-multisite,nextjs-xmcloud
2. Configure the structure into an npm workspace per https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v10/using-npm/workspaces then run npm install so that the node_modules folder doesn't exist in the same directory as the app, but is instead in a parent folder
3. npm run build

Expected Behavior

Build success

Possible Fix

Update https://github.com/Sitecore/jss/blob/8c23ac3af2341d0115268349581891fd9d049ebd/packages/sitecore-jss-dev-tools/src/templating/metadata.ts to have better error handling
