Retired Boards Appdev Extensions

Hi I created a new Shopify app using npm init @Shopify_77 /app@latest -- --template=node and was able to run npm run dev. However, after I create an extension with npm run generate extension, when I tried running npm run dev again, I started to receive the following error messages

22:25:21 │ web-backend  │  ELIFECYCLE  Command failed.

The error message is indicating that there’s a permission issue when to write to the gem cache directory (/var/lib/gems/3.0.0/cache/). This often happens because some of the gem files are owned by root or another user, or the permissions are set incorrectly.

Can you run the following command:

sudo chown -R $USER /var/lib/gems/

This command changes the owner of all files and directories under /var/lib/gems/ to the current user. If changing the owner doesn’t solve the problem, you can try to change the permissions of directory.

It turned out to be a package issue. The solution I found was to use pnpm instead of npm and set both of the shopify packages in package.json in the root directory to 3.48.2. I then remove the lock file and node_modules folder and run pnpm i again.
