Hello @officialrajdeepsingh and welcome to the community!

Can you try running the following command:

npm update core-js

Let us know if this fixes your issue.

Hi @officialrajdeepsingh.

It looks like your computer cannot create symlinks, which used internally when npm deals with local packages.

Could you please do npx frontity info in the root folder of your Frontity project and paste your results here to know more about your system?

@t00much

I fixed my issue, for my case the error happens because I created the project on the exFAT partition. The issue was gone when I created project on the NTFS partition.

Thanks,

Recently have this issue in a new vercel project. Any ideas why getting a symlink EISDIR error when deploying there?

8

Here are the steps to replicate this:

  1. Clone new frontity project
  2. Go on to vercel and publish
  3. Cannot build due to EISDIR error

Something with symlinks not working?

Still looking for assistance as this doc: Deploy Frontity using Vercel - Frontity Docs is basically not working due to the error above.
