Workspace creation failure on node:alpine container

[hadrien-toma]

Description

I am facing the following issues when attempting to create a workspace on a node:alpine based container. The container is running on Kubernetes. I precise all of this because it works when simply doing:

docker run --env "NG_CLI_ANALYTICS=ci" -it node:alpine /bin/sh -c "mkdir /home/node/tmp ; cd /home/node/tmp ; npx create-nx-workspace@latest workspace --cli=angular --interactive=false --npm-scope=test --preset=empty --skipGit=true --skipInstall=false --style=scss"

So it seems that this part of the context matters here 🤔.
Besides, if I use the image directly with Docker, it works. So the errors happen only when running on Kubernetes where the workspace destination is mounted as hostPath, so maybe is there some permissions related underlying issue? 😣

Questions

May someone have any idea of why tao/minimist are failing like this or have any keys to share to workaround this issue 🤞 ?

[hadrien-toma]

I tried creating the workspace in the container file system instead of in the volume and it works, so the problem is likely to be on the volume side. 😣

[hadrien-toma]

For information: the problem I experience is related to kubernetes/minikube#4621
