Fresh Install Cleanup

Quick Reference

# Full cleanup and reinstall
rm -rf node_modules .turbo packages/*/node_modules packages/*/.turbo packages/*/dist
find packages/*/src -type f \( -name "*.js" -o -name "*.js.map" -o -name "*.d.ts" -o -name "*.d.ts.map" \) -delete
find packages -name "*.tsbuildinfo" -delete
rm -f .tsbuildinfo
pnpm install
pnpm run build:packages

Common Issues & Fixes

1. Stale tsbuildinfo Files (Incremental Compilation)

Symptoms:

• tsc

  runs without error but produces no output
• Turbo shows "cache hit" but dist/ folders are empty
• Turbo warns: "no output files found for task @orient/mcp-tools#build"
• Build completes "successfully" but dependent packages fail with TS2307

Cause: TypeScript's

.tsbuildinfo

files store incremental compilation state. When stale, tsc believes everything is up-to-date and skips compilation entirely - even when dist/ is empty.

Key indicator: The warning "no output files found" after a build means tsbuildinfo is stale.

Fix:

find packages -name "*.tsbuildinfo" -delete
rm -f .tsbuildinfo

Verification (critical step after cleaning):

# Rebuild
pnpm run build:packages

# Verify dist directories are populated BEFORE proceeding
ls packages/mcp-tools/dist/index.js
ls packages/core/dist/index.js
ls packages/agents/dist/index.js

If dist/ is still empty after rebuild, check for other issues (stray files in src/, turbo cache).

2. Stray Compiled Files in src/

Symptom: Build errors about missing modules even though dependencies are installed.

Cause: Previous builds left

.js

,

.d.ts

,

.js.map

,

.d.ts.map

files in

src/

directories instead of

dist/

.

Fix:

find packages/*/src -type f \( -name "*.js" -o -name "*.js.map" -o -name "*.d.ts" -o -name "*.d.ts.map" \) -delete

3. Turbo Cache Issues

Symptom: Build appears cached but dist folders are empty or stale.

Fix:

rm -rf .turbo packages/*/.turbo

4. Stale Worktrees

Symptom: Many old worktrees consuming disk space.

Check:

git worktree list

Fix:

# Remove worktree directories
rm -rf ~/claude-worktrees/orient/*
rm -rf ~/.cursor/worktrees/orient/*
# Prune git references
git worktree prune

5. Stale Fresh Install Folders

Symptom: Multiple

orient-fresh-*

directories in parent folder.

Fix:

rm -rf ../orient-fresh-*

6. Module Resolution Errors (TS2307)

Symptom: Build fails with

error TS2307: Cannot find module '@orient/mcp-tools'

or similar.

Cause: Turbo's dependency graph wasn't respected because:

• Stale tsbuildinfo made turbo think prerequisite packages were already built
• The

  dist/

  folder was empty or missing despite turbo showing "cache hit"

Troubleshooting:

1. Verify turbo.json has

   "dependsOn": ["^build"]

   for the build task
2. Check package.json has correct

   workspace:*

   dependencies
3. Manually verify prerequisite package dist exists:

   ls packages/mcp-tools/dist/index.js
   

Fix: Clean tsbuildinfo and turbo cache, then rebuild:

find packages -name "*.tsbuildinfo" -delete
rm -rf .turbo packages/*/.turbo packages/*/dist
pnpm run build:packages

Full Cleanup Procedure

1. Remove node_modules and build artifacts:

   rm -rf node_modules .turbo packages/*/node_modules packages/*/.turbo packages/*/dist
   

2. Clean stray compiled files from src directories:

   find packages/*/src -type f \( -name "*.js" -o -name "*.js.map" -o -name "*.d.ts" -o -name "*.d.ts.map" \) -delete
   

3. Clean tsbuildinfo files:

   find packages -name "*.tsbuildinfo" -delete
   rm -f .tsbuildinfo
   

4. Clean worktrees (optional):

   rm -rf ~/claude-worktrees/orient/* ~/.cursor/worktrees/orient/*
   git worktree prune
   

5. Fresh install:

   pnpm install
   

6. Build packages:

   pnpm run build:packages
   

7. Verify build completion (critical - don't skip):

   # Turbo's "cache hit" can be misleading - always verify dist/ exists
   ls packages/*/dist/index.js
   

   If any package is missing dist/index.js, clean tsbuildinfo and rebuild that package.

Docker Testing Mode

Running Tests with Docker Stack

./run.sh test        # Build and start full Docker stack
./run.sh test pull   # Use pre-built images from ghcr.io (requires auth)
./run.sh test status # Check container health
./run.sh test stop   # Stop containers

7. Docker Build Hangs on Metadata Loading

Symptom:

./run.sh test

hangs at "load metadata for docker.io/library/node:20-alpine"

Cause: Docker buildx can be slow to fetch metadata from Docker Hub on macOS.

Workaround: Use existing local images without rebuilding:

cd docker
docker compose --env-file ../.env -f docker-compose.v2.yml -f docker-compose.local.yml --profile slack up -d --no-build

8. Port Conflicts (9000, 5432, 80)

Symptom:

Bind for 0.0.0.0:9000 failed: port is already allocated

Cause: Dev containers (orienter--0) share ports with test containers (orienter-).

Fix: Stop dev containers first:

docker stop orienter-nginx-0 orienter-postgres-0 orienter-minio-0
docker rm orienter-nginx-0 orienter-postgres-0 orienter-minio-0

Then start test containers:

./run.sh test

9. ghcr.io Authentication Required

Symptom:

./run.sh test pull

fails with 401 Unauthorized

Cause: Private images require GitHub authentication.

Fix: Either authenticate to ghcr.io or use local builds:

# Option 1: Authenticate
echo $GITHUB_TOKEN | docker login ghcr.io -u USERNAME --password-stdin

# Option 2: Use local images (skip pull)
./run.sh test  # builds locally

Verification

After cleanup and rebuild, verify:

# Check dist directories exist
ls packages/*/dist

# Run unit tests
pnpm run test:ci

# Run e2e tests with Docker stack
./run.sh test status  # Ensure all healthy
E2E_TESTS=true pnpm vitest run tests/e2e
