to file, without success.
Description of the problem
I have some links to cloud sandboxes. The underlying folder updates from time to time. The yarn cache in the cloud sandbox keeps growing as dependencies are added/updated, but unused ones stay in the cache. This goes on until the sandbox fails to initialize due to ENOSPC errors.
How has this issue affected you? What are you trying to accomplish?
All our codesandbox examples break after a while.
To Reproduce
- create link to cloud sandbox. e.g. https://codesandbox.io/p/sandbox/github/mui/mui-toolpad/tree/master/examples/custom-datagrid-column
- over time update the package.json in that folder with new/updated dependencies
- watch the link break over time
- forked sandboxes have the same problem
You can observe by forking https://codesandbox.io/p/sandbox/github/mui/mui-toolpad/tree/master/examples/custom-datagrid-column
run
du -sh $(yarn cache dir)
yarn cache clean
yarn
du -sh $(yarn cache dir)
Notice how the second time around the sandbox installs correctly, and the cache folder size is much smaller
I also noticed yarn cache list fails
$ yarn cache list
yarn cache v1.22.19
error An unexpected error occurred: "There should only be one folder in a package cache (got in /project/home/janpot/.cache/yarn/v6/npm-@emotion-react-11.11.1-b2c36afac95b184f73b08da8c214fdf861fa4157-integrity/node_modules/@emotion)".

Research direction
Start by reproducing the cloud sandbox failure with the linked example, then compare the Yarn cache before and after running yarn cache clean and yarn. Investigate the sandbox's dependency-cache handling and the reported yarn cache list failure. Done means repeated dependency updates no longer exhaust the sandbox or leave the example unable to initialize.
