Describe the problem/error/question
I am unable to add custom NPM packages anymore. I had this working just the other day, but when rebuilding my custom image, it’s now unable to find the package
I have followed the steps listed here, and they did initially work, but now I am at a loss as to why it’s broken.

This is the output from docker compose build:

Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction! I am sure if will be something I have maybe overlooked, but I cannot for the life of me figure out what it is.
What is the error message (if any)?
