Bolt.new unable to get past 'npm install && npm start' setups

[magusonline]

Describe the bug

There seems to be issues with Bolt.new setting up dependencies of any kind. They offer "fixes" which essentially loop into various recursion loops of the same problem to "fix" without actually fixing anything.

Link to the Bolt URL that caused the error

https://bolt.new/~/sb1-nwbhho

Steps to reproduce

1. Click 'fix'
2. Wait for resolution
3. Click new 'fix'
4. Wait for resolution
5. Click new new 'fix'
6. Wait for resolution
7. Click new new new 'fix' (it's actually 3's issue repeated)
8. Wait for resolution
9. Click on new new new 'fix' (it's actually 1's issue repeated)

Expected behavior

It should install the dependencies instead of going down an infinite loop.

@kirjavascript any updates on this?

We've been trying to improve on this in the background but due to the nature of the problem it's quite difficult to diagnose.

Could you try again from a fresh project, and let us know the prompts you used to get there?

@kirjavascript I have tried multiple projects; it mostly only happens when I ask for a portfolio site. It gets stuck right about when it tries to install idealtree builddeps. I think a good solution is to use https://bun.sh/ instead of npm, as it's abhorrently slow.

I have the same issue. The error says that it's using "https" for some request but only "http" is allowed.

Same issue here; nothing I make gets past npm install and npm run dev. It tells me:
npm ERR! code ERR_INVALID_PROTOCOL npm ERR! Protocol "https:" not supported. Expected "http:" npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in: /home/.npm/_logs/...

And for npm run dev, I get:
