             Summary: UI module builds fail with npm "Cannot read properties of null (reading 'edgesOut')"
                 Key: KNOX-3518
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KNOX-3518
             Project: Apache Knox
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 3.1.0
            Reporter: Sandor Molnar
            Assignee: Sandor Molnar
             Fix For: 3.1.0


Since vitest 4.1.12 was published (2026-10-15), npm install fails in every Angular UI module, which breaks the full Maven build:

[INFO] Running 'npm install' in .../gateway-admin-ui
[INFO] npm error Cannot read properties of null (reading 'edgesOut')
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal com.github.eirslett:frontend-maven-plugin:1.15.1:npm (npm install) on project gateway-admin-ui

Affected modules: gateway-admin-ui, knox-homepage-ui, knox-token-management-ui, knox-token-generation-ui, knox-webshell-ui.

*Root cause:*
 - The UI poms delete package-lock.json on clean, so every build resolves dependencies fresh from the registry.
 - @angular/build, which the token UIs pull in through @angular-devkit/build-angular, declares vitest ^4.0.8 as an optional peer.
 - vitest 4.1.12 declares the optional peer @vitest/browser-webdriverio ^4.1.11. Version 4.1.12 of that package was never published, so npm picks 4.1.11, which requires exactly vitest 4.1.11.
 - The npm bundled with Node v22.20.0 (npm 10.9.3) crashes in Arborist#loadPeerSet on this conflict instead of reporting ERESOLVE.

*Fix:* add "overrides":
{code:java}
{ "vitest": "4.1.11" }{code}
to the {{package.json}} of each UI module. None of the UIs uses vitest, so the build output doesn't change. The override can be removed once vitest publishes a consistent release.

Reproduced on master with{{ npm install --dry-run}} on each UI's package.json: all five fail without the override and resolve with it.
