[node] can't build anymore: `cache mode is 'only-if-cached' but no cached response available.`

[aunetx]

Hello and thank you very much for this repo,

I own the repository https://github.com/aunetx/deezer-linux, and try to (re)-build my package.
Nearly nothing has changed since last build, but I now get an error from flatpak builder when using make export_flatpak:

It looks like some packages are not cached correctly anymore (@types/semver here, but I don't know if it is the only one since I can't get past it).

I don't know what causes it, it is really pretty hard to get a lot of informations to fix this (especially since the app is extracted from an asar source, the package.json file is changed to include electron and electron-builder, and then it is rebuilt using flatpak... so all I know is that the package is not cached, I don't even know if it changed since last time it worked).

The content of /run/build/deezer/flatpak-node/npm-cache/_logs/2021-11-15T12_49_52_782Z-debug.log is in this pastebin.

If there is a way to fix this, this would be perfect; it looks like #182 but I'm not sure if it is related to git dependencies too.

Thanks a lot,

This is not an answer to the exact issue, but since you're generating the lockfile yourself anyway, consider using Yarn instead. It is by far less problematic for offline builds.

Ok thanks a lot! I will try to use it and update here

Thanks a lot, using yarn fixed everything (and even some little more)!
