Getting a 404 on an npm install for har-validator-5.1.2.tgz

[ToobzMD]

When I run an npm install, I am now getting a 404 on the har-validator-5.1.2.tgz package. This just started occurring over the weekend.

15420 error code E404
15421 error 404 Not Found: har-validator@https://registry.npmjs.org/har-validator/-/har-validator-5.1.2.tgz

NPM version: 5.6.0
Node version: 8.9.4

@ahmadnassri There is a version mismatch for this package and the npm/yarn repos. The current version is 5.1.2 and it is published under 5.1.3

@kevincolten I hear you, but there are many old versions of various npm libs that are specifically looking for 5.1.2. protactor being one of them. I don't see a way to redirect specific npm packages that I don't control. Would you be able to push whatever the latest is out as 5.1.2 out to the npm repo?

Anyone have a solution for this?

Edit:
I assume most people will be able to avoid having to take the steps I did, but just in case I'll document what worked for me.

As @danoc wrote below, bumping my package version ultimately fixed this for me, but not until I had manually removed har-validator@5.1.2 from my yarn.lock file.

I'd try other techniques first, but manually editing yarn.lock, upgrading my dependency (cypress), and then re-running yarn to fix the lock file did the trick for me.

Was able to work around this by bumping up the version of the package I had that depended on har-validator.

If using Yarn, you can figure this out by running yarn why har-validator.

I was able to fix one of two projects by uninstalling and reinstalling the package with the dependency on har-validator.

For some reason, this didn't help with my second project. To resolve that one, I replaced the har-validator entry in package-lock.json with this:

    "har-validator": {
      "version": "5.1.3",
      "resolved": "https://registry.npmjs.org/har-validator/-/har-validator-5.1.3.tgz",
      "integrity": "sha512-sNvOCzEQNr/qrvJgc3UG/kD4QtlHycrzwS+6mfTrrSq97BvaYcPZZI1ZSqGSPR73Cxn4LKTD4PttRwfU7jWq5g==",
      "requires": {
        "ajv": "^6.5.5",
        "har-schema": "^2.0.0"
      }
    }

That resolved my second project.

hope this helps

Installing har-validator 5.1.3 in my project solved the issue for me.
Hope this is fixed soon, though.

@cdimascio is my hero for the day. This corrected my problem.

[Kmaschta]

Does someone have contacted NPM about that issue?

[guanxf]

update the package (like request 2.88.0 dependency of har-validator ~5.1.0)

[hodgef]

This issue seems to be causing my Travis CI tests to fail early. Reached out to npm support about it to see if they can redirect 5.1.2 -> 5.1.3

Edit: npm install har-validator@latest --save-dev fixes it.

Delete yarn.lock or package-lock.json and install dependencies again fixed my problem. A new patch version v5.1.3 was linked in my new lock file.

There is a version mismatch for this package and the npm/yarn repos. The current version is 5.1.2 and it is published under 5.1.3

@kevincolten how did this problem occur? The behavior seems as if someone ran npm unpublish har-validator@5.1.2 after the package was originally published. (?)

That worked for me. Don't know why... ^^ Thanks

All you need to do is delete "package-lock.json" and run command "npm install"

[blessochampion]

Yarn install fixed this for me.
