Performing install with ignore optional option hang forever

Unable to make yarn install --ignore-optional work.

What's the best way to reproduce this? I just ran yarn install --ignore-optional in the repository and it looks like it worked, as did yarn add @kalisio/feathers-automerge --ignore-optional in another project.

Did you make sure that you deleted all node_modules are deleted first ? Like this it blocks on my side.

Ok, I am seeing the same thing now. It looks like this is because of esbuild which is used by Vite (used in the frontend example):

[1/3] ⡀ esbuild
[2/3] ⡀ nx
verbose 2.597336208 [esbuild] Failed to find package "@esbuild/darwin-arm64" on the file system

This can happen if you use the "--no-optional" flag. The "optionalDependencies"
package.json feature is used by esbuild to install the correct binary executable
for your current platform. This install script will now attempt to work around
this. If that fails, you need to remove the "--no-optional" flag to use esbuild.
