Actual behavior.

When I am running rush update, it is showing error : The system cannot find the path specified.
`The command failed:

What is the expected behavior?
It should run rush update command & then after rush build

@gauravgoyal5 Can you create a repro and share the code? Also, is this something that suddenly started to fail for you (Was it working before)?

[gauravgoyal5]

Correct. It started suddenly. It was working before.
I am trying to create new project in SPFx & got the same issues. I tried so many times with different locations as well but getting same issue.

Hi,

I tried to run the Powershell ISE & got detailed error :

D:\SPFx\Code\Production\MyTestProject\common\temp\npm-local is a symlink to a folder under your HOME directory. Can you take a look at that folder and make sure it points to something valid?

Did you recently move your HOME directory?

[gauravgoyal5]

npm-local folder is present as symlink under D:\SPFx\Code\Production\MyTestProject\common\temp.
No I have not moved. I am getting same issue when creating new structure in new place as well.

[dmichon-msft]

I notice the listed paths seem to be missing a \ between node_modules and .bin; this suggest that there is a missing trailing slash in a configured path for npm-local

[gauravgoyal5]

Thanks for the reply. Can you please let me know in which file and path, I should add ""?

[gauravgoyal5]

I tried to search for path which shown in log :
The command failed:
D:\SPFx\Code\Production\MyTestProject\common\temp\npm-local**node_modules.bin**npm install --cache D:\SPFx\Code\Production\MyTestProject\common\temp\npm-cache --tmp D:\SPFx\Code\Production\MyTestProject\common\temp\npm-tmp
ERROR: Error: The command failed with exit code 1

I found that, in npm-local folder there is no node_module folder present.

I has a similar issue, for me it was an invalid package.json file.

  "devDependencies": {
    "tslib": "^2.3.1"
  },

vs

  "devDependencies": {
    "tslib": "^2.3.1", 
  },

What resolved it for me was to delete the .rush folder in C:\Users\MyUser and reinstall rush. Not sure I even needed to reinstall rush to be honest. I noticed the .rush folder popped back up after running rush update.

[gomain]

This also happened to me and indeed it was a trailing comma in one of a package.json file in the "keywords" section.

The error message in very misleading though. I was getting

Rush does complain about syntax error in rush.json so would have expected the same for other json files. Well this is pnpm failing without complaining about malformed json.
