Dev build fails when rebuilding presentation

Hello! I have a very simple presentation that builds successfully the first time, but then fails to rebuild once a change is made. If you simply save the file, the build does not fail, but any modification results in the following error:

Error: Command failed with exit code 1 (EPERM): gatsby develop --host localhost --port 8000 --open
    at makeError (/app/node_modules/execa/lib/error.js:59:11)
    at handlePromise (/app/node_modules/execa/index.js:112:26)
    at processTicksAndRejections (internal/process/task_queues.js:93:5)

The code is running within a docker container. Here’s the docker-compose file:

version: "3.6"
services:
    present:
        image: node
        volumes:
            - ./:/app
        ports:
            - "8000:8000"
        working_dir: /app
        entrypoint: ["npm"]
        command: ["start"]
    npm:
        image: node
        volumes:
            - ./:/app
        working_dir: /app
        entrypoint: ["npm"]
        command: ["--version"]

The present service issues the following npm command as defined in the “package.json” file:

"start": "mdx-deck presentation.mdx"

The actual presentation, saved as “presentation.mdx”, is as follows:

# Presentation Title

---

# About Me

Here’s how to setup and reproduce the issue (docker commands are run with sudo on my machine):

1. Install the framework: docker-compose run --rm npm i -D mdx-deck
2. Run the presentation service: docker-compose run --rm --service-ports present
3. The build will finish and you can see the presentation in the browser of the host
4. Save the “presentation.mdx” file without making any modifications
5. Notice that the info statement is logged, but the service remains stable
6. Modify the “presentation.mdx” file and save
7. The error mentioned above appears and the docker service dies

I noticed issue #416 which had a very similar error, but the “package-lock.json” file shows the gatsby-plugin-compile-es6-packages package as being installed at version “2.1.0”.

I also tested making the changes within the container to eliminate the possibility of filesystem issues. No matter how the presentation is modified, the error still occurs.

For anybody looking for a quick workaround in the meantime, just add this to your package.json (if you’re using yarn):

"resolutions": {
  "mdx-deck/**/gatsby": "2.18.4"
}
