Vaadin 23.1.2 - Error During Maven Build - TypeError: invalid options argument - opts-arg.js:13

[bryan-schuknecht-noaa]

Hello.

My apologies if this is a repeat. I'm having trouble finding solutions for this issue.

We are unable to build Vaadin via Maven suddenly.

Vaadin version: 23.1.2
Maven version: 3.8.6
Java version: openjdk 11.0.16.1

Command: mvn clean install -DskipTests -Pproduction

Error:

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

The same thing can be seen in the Flow validation build, e.g. here https://github.com/vaadin/flow/actions/runs/3149162731/jobs/5121029735

Started yesterday

Do you have a project to share where the problem can be reproduced? The Flow build problem does not reproduce well outside the automated build

[Artur-]

Also, is it related to using pnpm as you seem to be using?

[Artur-]

Possibly related to pnpm/pnpm#5412

[Artur-]

As #14686 fails, it seems not related to the pnpm version

[Artur-]

The problem in the Flow build has presumably been resolved by #14696 which caused the target/frontend/version.json file to contain both webpack and Vite dependencies. Not sure why you would see that in your project though but hopefully it will be resolved by the same fix

@bryan-schuknecht-noaa could you please test with 23.2.3 ?

[bryan-schuknecht-noaa]

Thanks for your patience. I asked the developers to upgrade their application to Vaadin 23.2.3, and it looks like that resolved this issue. We can build the applications with Maven again:

Thanks again for your help!

As the issue seems to have passed with the newer version I'll close this ticket.
Please open a new issue with details if it happens again.
