Good morning.
I’m writing this post because I’m facing a strange error with buildNpmPackage that doesn’t seem to be documented anywhere.
When trying to build the attached flake, in fact, NPM fails with the following error:
npm ERR! path /nix/store/lygyvacyjpmfsji3ym4n4d2wi4fxc0h5-antares-v0.7.9-npm-deps/_cacache/tmp
npm ERR! errno -13
npm ERR!
npm ERR! Your cache folder contains root-owned files, due to a bug in
npm ERR! previous versions of npm which has since been addressed.

npm ERR! Log files were not written due to an error writing to the directory: /nix/store/lygyvacyjpmfsji3ym4n4d2wi4fxc0h5-antares-v0.7.9-npm-deps/_logs

Personally, I find this pretty puzzling, as (citing the nixpkgs manual) “buildNpmPackage allows you to package npm-based projects in Nixpkgs without the use of an auto-generated dependencies files […] by […] creating a reproducible cache that contains the dependencies of a project, and pointing npm to it”, which makes links to the root-owned Nix Store expected.
Can someone point me to what I’ve done wrong in writing the derivation? Thank you very much in advance!
