In local env (macOS) it may go away after several retries, but then returns, which makes it intermittent.\n\nTo repro it locally:\n\n```\ngit clone https://github.com/appium/appium.git\ngit checkout 1392fc7fb123745db4ed91644cefede5cf5cec8b\nnpm run build\ncd packages/images-plugin\nnpm run test:e2e\n```\n\n### How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?\n\nAlways reproduces in CI, randomly reproduces in local env\n\n### What is the expected behavior? Why is that the expected behavior?\n\nI expect the test to pass, or at least provide a meaningful stack trace, so I can trace and fix the original issue if it's in my code.\n\n### What do you see instead?\n\nhttps://github.com/appium/appium/actions/runs/27947241178/job/82695020982?pr=22415\n\n### Additional information\n\nThe PR address: https://github.com/appium/appium/pull/22415\nFailing job example: https://github.com/appium/appium/actions/runs/27947241178/job/82695020982?","author":{"url":"https://github.com/mykola-mokhnach","@type":"Person","name":"mykola-mokhnach"},"datePublished":"2026-06-22T11:04:33Z","url":"https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/64061"}
