I assume that this is the problem you guys are running into: [`dfx deploy` halts when running `npm run generate` using a protected identity · Issue #2872 · dfinity/sdk · GitHub](https://github.com/dfinity/sdk/issues/2872) Looks like my comment above was wrong: > [@Vivienne](#): > > The build step does not access your identity in any way It should be `The build step SHOULD not access your identity in any way`. Workaround that I can offer right now, which I figured out because of @nolyoi’s suggestion to remove the prebuild step: - edit `package.json` - find field `scripts.generate` - replace `dfx generate ` with `dfx --identity anonymous generate ` This will use the anonymous identity for the build step, (which is available to anyone and not protected by a password) and therefore will not hang the process. ---

Another workaround is to use an identity without encryption til this issue is fixed. dfx identity new xxx **–disable-encryption** ---

@rbole yea we know, this is what i told when I post the first time, btw the solution nolyoi provide work for me when I remove the “prebuild” script, also the solution from Severin work as well if i change the script to : > “generate”: “dfx --identity anonymous generate ``” @FELIX Did you try to remove all your canister and clean up using the cmd line : > rm -rf ./.dfx/\* canisters/\* then try to redeploy again after updating the script in package.json ? ---

To save time, I solved it like this. - Export my identity & remember the ids of your canisters // wallet // backup proyects > **[Highlights of what’s new in 0.10.0 | Internet Computer Home](https://internetcomputer.org/docs/current/developer-docs/updates/release-notes/0.10.0-rn#new-feature-identity-export)** > > An overview of the 0.10.0 release: - Delete all the wsl with the distributions (in my case I use W11 with wsl) - Install ubuntu again and update it ( sudo apt update & sudo apt full-upgrade ) - Install dfx - Import Identity - Set of the previous canisters ( dfx identity set-wallet “id” --network ic) Everything working again. ---

As an extra value to the analysis they did, I can say that this inconvenience does not “break” the process, but rather that it continues (perhaps it enters an infinite loop or similar). I discovered this with the top command, visualizing that the process continues to constantly consume resources.
