Salesforce CLI link plugin issue

[JaniszewskiMarcin]

Summary

When updating CLI version to the latest one we can not link plugins. Error message: "@salesforce/cli: Linking plugin ../pluginName... ! › Error: /usr/local/lib/node_modules/@salesforce/cli/node_modules/npm/bin/np › m-cli.js install --no-audit --loglevel=silent --no-fund exited with code 2 › Try this: Run with DEBUG=@oclif/plugin-plugins* to see debug output."

We start to observe this errors happening from version 2.35.6 (April 3, 2024) and even now the newest version 2.44.8 (Jun 5, 2024) [stable] still causes same issues.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Update CLI version to the newest one for now 2.44.8 (Jun 5, 2024).
2. Try to link plugin from your local device.

Expected result

Proper plugin linking.

Actual result

Plugin is not linked and can not be use in other parts of script.

System Information

• Terminal Powershell
• Command: sf plugins link "pluginName"

Additional information

No additional information.

Hello @JaniszewskiMarcin :wave: It looks like you didn't include the full Salesforce CLI version information in your issue. Please provide the output of version --verbose --json for the CLI you're using (sf or sfdx).

A few more things to check:

• Make sure you've provided detailed steps to reproduce your issue.
  • A repository that clearly demonstrates the bug is ideal.
• Make sure you've installed the latest version of Salesforce CLI. (docs)
  • Better yet, try the rc or nightly versions. (docs)
• Try running the doctor command to diagnose common issues.
• Search GitHub for existing related issues.

Thank you!

That's a typescript error but sf plugins link doesn't build your plugin when you link it 🤔

could it be that you have a postinstall script in your plugin that tries to build it? if so, you might need to fix the error in your plugin first.

Ticket to be closed indeed there was deprecated member named 'JwtOAuth2Config' should be 'OAuth2Config' in my scripts. Main issue was that in Visual Studio Code search function do not scan all the files and I assumed we do not have any of those variables or at least not on our side. Thanks for help!

Since problem is resolved I'am closing the issue.
