Build log

I'm testing the Yocto Project Documentation for creating NPM packages (https://docs.yoctoproject.org/dev-manual/common-tasks.html#creating-node-package-manager-npm-packages).

I managed to create a recipe for cute-files 1.0.2 using devtool, but I can't manage to build the recipe. Here's what I get:

/home/mike/work/yocto/poky/build/workspace/sources/cute-files/node_modules/get-intrinsic --ignore-scripts=true failed with exit code 127, output:

> get-intrinsic@1.1.2 prepack
> npmignore --auto --commentLines=autogenerated

sh: 1: npmignore: not found

I do have the "nodejs" package in my image though, as recommended by the manual.

The recipe and full log files are available in https://bootlin.com/~mike/pub/yocto-project/npm-2022-06-21/.
