vite-plugin-checker invokes node: /usr/bin/env: 'node': No such file or directory

[alexgleason]

Version: Deno 2.0.5

Using vite with vite-plugin-checker causes it to invoke Node, and the build fails:

/usr/bin/env: 'node': No such file or directory

Normally Deno is supposed to override calls to node to deno, but it's failing to do so here.

Here is a reproduction Dockerfile:

FROM denoland/deno:2.0.5

WORKDIR /app

RUN deno run -A npm:create-vite@latest -t react-ts .
RUN deno install

RUN deno add npm:vite-plugin-checker

RUN cat <<EOF > vite.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import react from '@vitejs/plugin-react'
import checker from 'vite-plugin-checker'

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [react(), checker({ typescript: true })],
})
EOF

RUN deno run -A npm:vite build

The dockerfile does not build:

I think this was caused by npm lifecycle scripts.
I'm facing the same issue while executing the docker production build.

In Dockerfile:

FROM denoland/deno:debian-2.0.3
...
RUN deno install --allow-scripts=npm:[email protected]

Error:

3.345 error: script 'install' in '[email protected]' failed with exit code 1
3.345 stderr:
3.345 /usr/bin/env: 'node': No such file or directory

How to execute npm lifecycle scripts if there is no NodeJs runtime in the Deno docker image? Is there any way to execute npm lifecycle scripts using Deno runtime? Or did I miss something? Any help is much appreciated.
