Can't patch package @strapi/admin

[davefv]

Hi,

After patch file I execute:

npx patch-package @strapi/admin

With result:

patch-package 6.4.7

• Installing @strapi/admin@4.1.0 with npm
• Diffing your files with clean files

}

My environment:

OS: Ubuntu 20.04
Node: v14.15.1
npm: 8.5.1

Can you help me?

Thank you very much!

@davefv you've closed this issue, but could you please let us know what was the reason. I have the same problem as well

I don't remember the exact solution, but I think:

• Update to Node v14.19.1
• Backup @strapi/admin patch changes (IMPORTANT for not to lose the changes)

rm -rf build/
rm -rf node_modules
rm package-lock.json
npm i

• Apply patch changes over @strapi/admin

npx patch-package @strapi/admin
npm run build

Hope this helps!
