Not able to successfully build polyfill-service

See original GitHub issue

Not able to successfully build polyfill-service. Hi, The instructions mentioned in CONTRIBUTING.md was followed:

$ git clone https://github.com/Financial-Times/polyfill-service.git
$ cd polyfill-service
$ npm ci
$ npm run build # build the assets for the website
$ npm start # start a server on localhost:8080

But whenever I am building the application and executing the second last step i.e. “npm run build” I am getting error. The npm log is attached below:

/opt/polyfill-service# npm run build

I can confirm that if you were running as root, npm set unsafe-perm true resolves the issue:

@aniket-gangadharan Are you running npm ci as the root user? If so npm will not run postinstall scripts unless you set unsafe-perm to true like so – npm set unsafe-perm true.
