I actually get a different error when I try and reproduce:

EACCES: permission denied, copyfile '/awx_devel/awx/ui/public/installing.html' -> '/awx_devel/awx/ui/build/installing.html'

I checked, and the /awx_devel/awx/ui/build directory is owned by root. I deleted that directory the re-ran. The directory came back and is owned by root again.

edit: silly me, I was root in the container. Retrying now.
edit: Works for me.

I'd suggest deleting the problematic file/directory rm -rf awx/ui/node_modules outside of the container and then retry.

[chrismeyersfsu]

@SargeTDK I'll mention what I ran into, maybe you hit the same thing. I ran the build as the root user. This created a bunch of dirs as the root user. If you then later run make clean-ui as a non-root user it will succeed, BUT the rm -rf .. commands will hide the failures. The root owned dirs will still exist and cause the build step to fail.

TL;DR run make clean-ui outside of the container or as root in the container then re-rerun the UI build.

[SargeTDK]

I rebuild everything as non-root user and it works for me
