I downgraded to Node.js 14 because the issue started after upgrading to Node.js 16.so i rewinded back to see if the issue will disappear and here is the current log
I’d better look up what a nested alias even is
says it’s about having an aliased dependency that itself has an aliased dependency. an aliased dependency supposedly being
npm install <alias>@npm:<name>:Install a package under a custom alias. Allows multiple versions of a same-name package side-by-side, more convenient import names for packages with otherwise long ones, and using git forks replacements or forked npm packages as replacements. Aliasing works only on your project and does not rename packages in transitive dependencies. …
are there any hints in the /tmp/npm-cache/…/_logs/…-debug.log file about what has all these aliases?
i checked the /tmp/npm-cache/…/_logs/…-debug.log file and it says nested aliases not supported even though package.json looks mostly fine; there are no nested aliases visible in the dependencies section, which suggests the issue might be coming from somewhere else
weird, could it be entirely within dependencies and transitive dependencies then?
Don’t know cause today i decided to migrate to express guess what

well the nested alias problem wasn’t necessarily in fastify’s dependency tree, so yeah the inability to get the dependencies installed ought to persist if you switch to express. in fact we should be pretty certain that the nested alias wasn’t in fastify’s dependency tree because the starter project has been able to install fastify just fine
do you have suggestions for identifying or resolving the nested alias issue in the project?
it looks like the log file will show what it’s trying to install when it encounters this. in that github issue, it was like this:
17 silly saveTree └── @reedsy/[email protected]
18 verbose stack Error: nested aliases not supported
18 verbose stack at ...
and indeed the problem was with this reedsy-sharedb package and its dependency.
can you see what comes right before the error in yours

However, it doesn’t specify which package or sub-package is causing the “nested aliases not supported” error. This makes it difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of the issue.
what package is this?
name and version of my project oh i decided to change for privacy reasons hope you also edit
dang, so no info from that.
next idea then, remove all dependencies and add them back until this happens again
already did that i think it’s a bug on glitch side which affected all my node js projects
which dependency causes it when it’s added?
i think fastify
npm install fastify

npm ERR! /tmp/npm-cache/14.19.1/_logs/2024-09-27T18_58_13_840Z-debug.log
so you’re saying this would happen on a new project if you were to remix the glitch fastify starter?
yeah think so
I can try remixing the starter it from my account and transferring it to your account
yeah do so I would appreciate
k invited you
Didn’t take long enough this was also an issue i was faced with alongside with the
cannot find module

cool so now it’s gotten past the “module fastify not found” error? I’ll take a look at the current status
Hi I’m sorry I don’t know how to message directly on Glitch but I’m having trouble getting your rust compute@edge project to run - I followed the directions but getting some error in terminal - do you know if it’s still supported by Glitch? thanks!
Hi, it should still be supported on glitch but it was always kind of janky and inconsistent anyway. Could you specify which errors you’re getting? A link to the project might also be helpful.
So we don’t pollute this thread with off-topic discussion, it’s probably best if you private message me here (which I suspect you won’t be able to do as a newer forum user?) or create a new thread (and ping me there if you’d like), which is probably the better solution because it’ll be public. Or we can continue here. Whatever works.
