Hi - are there any known issues with Pact and GitLab CI/CD? My pipeline fails with the below error when running

yarn install

on GitLab but having no issues locally.

error ../node_modules/@pact-foundation/pact-core: Command failed.

Any more details than that? e.g. logs? What version of yarn? Is it running in a container (and if so, have you seen https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-js/blob/master/docs/troubleshooting.md

I can confirm that pact works fine in GitLab

Thanks for the replies - @Matt (pactflow.io / pact-js / pact-go) and @Timothy Jones! It is running in a container and using yarn 1.22.19. These are the logs:

I saw someone had a similar issue so have been trying to g++ to our runner image but no luck as of yet.

What kind of container?

It's a docker container - managed to sort it for now by adding

apt update -y && apt install -y build-essential gcc g++

. Going to create a custom image going forward to fit our requirements better. Thanks again for the help 🙂
