[anthonyaam]

I have the same problem beginning yesterday.

[danherd]

Has anyone got a temporary fix for this?

[anthonyaam]

@danherd use pngquant-bin 3.1.1 for now.

[danherd]

@anthonyaam alas, this package is a dependency of a dependency of a dependency... and the version being used is not something I can control!

[anthonyaam]

@danherd if you have someone on your project that hasn't run npm update yet you could have them check in a package-lock.json file that references pngquant-bin 3.1.1.

If that's not an option then your situation becomes more difficult...I think you'll have to submit PRs to update the dependencies you're importing or just wait for this root issue to be resolved...

[danherd]

@anthonyaam yeah I think I can probably wait it out - funnily enough, even with this error being displayed on yarn install --production, all my assets seem to build OK anyway!

[wawanopoulos]

Could you please provide a quick fix for this issue ? It's very boring..

[abetwothree]

The issue seems to be this commit added a few days ago. It stops npm if the build fails:

And yes, I am also having this issue.
