Error following symlink

[wburgers]

I'm getting an error during the npm-install task on jenkins.
It does not happen on my laptop.
Is it related to the creation of symlinks by kotlin-frontend-plugin or does it have to do with the sshpk package?

> Task :project-name:npm-install
 This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:

> Task :project-name:npm-install FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Failed to capture snapshot of output files for task ':project-name:npm-install' property 'nodeModulesDir' during up-to-date check.

It looks a little bit like this:
srs/gradle-node-plugin#202

There is a PR for that ... as quick fix you can fork this plugin and apply the changes: #97

Then you are able to set binLinks = false within the npm extension (closure)

Thanks Michel,

I must have overlooked your PR.
Too bad the team hasn't merged it yet.
