[Bug?]: Redwoodjs flightcontrol web deployment failing

[joeyhotz]

What's not working?

Trying to deploy a redwoodjs app using flightcontrol but it's failing on the web deploy.

23:10:09: #11 [stage-0  7/10] RUN --mount=type=cache,id=G72QpPNA6IY-/usr/local/share/cache/yarn/v6,target=/usr/local/share/.cache/yarn/v6 yarn install --frozen-lockfile --production=false

23:10:09: #11 ERROR: executor failed running [/bin/bash -ol pipefail -c yarn install --frozen-lockfile --production=false]: exit code: 1

How do we reproduce the bug?

Running the script with yarn v3. I believe that whatever script it is running is only built to support yarn v1 as production=false doesn't seem to be valid input anymore.

This seems to be an issue with the buildpack used by Flightcontrol. There is a similar one opened HERE. As a workaround, you can edit your flightcontrol.json and add the following line above the "buildCommand" definition of both API and web:

"installCommand": "NODE_ENV=development yarn install --frozen-lockfile",

It will have the same result of having --production=false.

Your service will look like:

 {
          "id": "redwood-api",
          "name": "Redwood API",
          "type": "fargate",
          "buildType": "nixpacks",
          "cpu": 0.25,
          "memory": 0.5,
          "installCommand": "NODE_ENV=development yarn install --frozen-lockfile",
          "buildCommand": "yarn rw deploy flightcontrol api",
          "startCommand": "yarn rw deploy flightcontrol api --serve",
          "port": 8911,
          "healthCheckPath": "/graphql/health",
          "envVariables": {
            "REDWOOD_WEB_URL": {
              "fromService": {
                "id": "redwood-web",
                "value": "origin"
              }
            },
            "DATABASE_URL": {
              "fromService": {
                "id": "db",
                "value": "dbConnectionString"
              }
            }
          }
        },

Thanks @rgrativol! One thing I'd add: use --immutable instead of --frozen-lockfile. They're the same thing, but yarn plans to remove the latter at some point (according to their docs: https://yarnpkg.com/cli/install#details).

I'll try reproducing this and see if I can get in touch with the flightcontrol team to get this working out of the gate.

I received the same error building the web deployment on render.com but was able to fix it by passing the env SKIP_INSTALL_DEPS=true and running yarn on my own.

Fix found via this https://community.render.com/t/support-for-yarn-2-workspaces/135/4 and should be the default env for Render.
