Describe the bug 📉
I am setting up ERPNext to be able to use HRMS, and for this, I am following the documentation of both.

First, I am using this installation method for ERPNext: https://github.com/frappe/bench?tab=readme-ov-file#easy-install-script.

After I was able to run the containers using this installation method, I followed this tutorial here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3rwp-3UM_E&ab_channel=syncbricks, where it shows how to install HRMS in ERP within Docker.

In the video, he is able to run the command bench get-app hrms normally, but when I execute it the same way as in the video, inside the container, I get this "error" at the point where the command bench build --app hrms is executed. The error is the following:

$ bench build --app hrms

✔ Application Assets Linked

After that, everything works normally until the end. The problem is that after running the upgrade command, which forces the migrate for the sites, the assets of my project are lost...

I noticed that inside the assets folder, after running get-app, the symbolic links for ERPNext and Frappe are lost.

Can anyone help me? Can you tell me if this is related to my site losing the assets?

The way I solved it was by running the build manually using the --hard-link option.

P.S. I ran the install-app command.
