How to solve yarn build error - Error: ENOTEMPTY: directory not empty, rmdir '/frontend/out/node_modules/cacache/node_modules/.bin'

Question

I am deploying project with NextJS, Django, Postgres, Nginx in Docker Compose, it works fine in local (ubunutu 18.04). But in the server (ubuntu 20.04) it raises Error: ENOTEMPTY: directory not empty, rmdir '/frontend/out/node_modules/cacache/node_modules/.bin' error. How to fix this. P.S. I am using wait-for.sh for frontend to wait for api service to be ready(otherwise I also get build error) and my local docker version is Docker version 19.03.12, build 48a66213fe, my servers docker version is Docker version 19.03.11, build dd360c7 maybe possible causes of the error?

My Dockerfile for frontend service:

USER root
WORKDIR /frontend
COPY . /frontend

# Add wait-for-it
COPY wait-for.sh wait-for.sh
RUN chmod +x wait-for.sh

RUN yarn

My docker-compose.yml:

services:
  db:
    image: postgres:12.0-alpine
    volumes:
      - postgres_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data/
    environment:
      - POSTGRES_USER=purple_postgres_user
      - POSTGRES_PASSWORD=purple_p@ssW0rd
      - POSTGRES_DB=purple_db
  web:
    build: .
    command: python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
    #    command: ./manage.py purple.wsgi:application --bind 0.0.0.0:8000
    volumes:
      - ./backend/:/home/purple_user/purple/
      - static_volume:/home/purple_user/purple/static/
      - media_volume:/home/purple_user/purple/media/
    expose:
      - 8000
    ports:
      - 8000:8000
    env_file:
      - ./.env.dev
    depends_on:
      - db
  nginx:
    build: ./nginx
    ports:
      - 80:80
    volumes:
      - static_volume:/var/www/staticfiles/
      - media_volume:/var/www/mediafiles/
      - build_folder:/var/www/frontend/
    depends_on:
      - web
  frontend:
    container_name: frontend
    build:
      context: ./frontend
    volumes:
      - build_folder:/frontend/out
    depends_on:
      - web
    command: ./wait-for.sh web:8000 -- yarn build
volumes:
  postgres_data:
  static_volume:
  media_volume:
  build_folder:```

For me, the solution was, to delete the volume of frontend service, which is named build_folder. To get correct name of the build folder you can run docker volume ls - for me it was purple_build_folder - and the delete folder by running docker volume rm [volume name] command.
