While building a docker files i'm getting error executor failed running [/bin/sh -c npm install]: exit code: 1

I’m trying to build an image of my node application but upon execution it shows the error.

PS C:UsersvallabhDesktopvisits> docker build .

    Check first if you have a similar issue as in here:

    This issue is happening due to changes in NodeJS starting with version 15.

    When no WORKDIR is specified, npm install is executed in the root directory of the container, which is resulting in this error.

    Executing the npm install in a project directory of the container specified by WORKDIR resolves the issue.

    In your case, make sure to set WORKDIR to where your node app resides in your image that you are building.

    I had this error and none of the above answers helped, the solution provided by ChatGPT helped me in this case, all I needed to do was-

    1. Remove my node modules folder

      sudo rm -r node_modules

    2. install node modules again

      npm i

    3. re-run the docker start command

      docker-compose up –build
