NPM install issue

[Noitidart]

For some reason, I cannot install (npm i) other packages while this package is installed. I get the error below. I have to first npm un react-native-material-menu and then install the other package then I can install this back. Is this just me?

OS: Windows 10

@Noitidart can you fully remove node_modules folder?
rm -rf node_modules
then run
npm install or yarn

[Noitidart]

Thanks mxck! I will try that on Monday please :)

[Noitidart]

Thanks so much @mxck for leaving this open for me. I haven't been able to fix this. I'm not sure why. I'll close this out. It seems something specific to me. Thanks very much again. I'll update you when I find a fix. :)

[Noitidart]

Oh just an update to the stuff I tried:

• the rm -rf node_modules then npm i
• created a new react native project react-native init and tried it here

Same results in both. Will keep you updated.

@mxck Im still having this problem even in new project.

I was wondering what was the equivalent of rm -rf node_modules in windows, do you know please?

I had this issue. I switched to using yarn instead of npm and it doesn't happen anymore.

[Noitidart]

@kcbar that's an interesting note. It would be nice to find the root cause though.

[mxck]

Ok, I reopen ticket and test with NPM

[Noitidart]

Thanks @mxck!

[mxck]

@Noitidart I don't have any errors at my Mac with npm.

❯ npm --version
5.6.0

What version you using?

[Noitidart]

@mxck I am on windows, also 5.6.0

@mxck I'm on mac, it happens when I run npm install a second time, the first time goes well.

I think the issue is that in the package we get from npm there's a .git folder, you should not package that one.

Removing the .git directory inside node_modules/react-native-material-menu works

rm -rf node_modules/react-native-material-menu/.git

[mxck]

Hm. Ok I check it later. Thanks! ср, 31 янв. 2018 г. в 23:38, Gonçalo Margalho <notifications@github.com>:

Thanks to you man, if you solve it would be very good for us :)

[mxck]

By default, the following paths and files are ignored, so there's no need to add them to .npmignore explicitly:

.*.swp
._*
.DS_Store
.git
.hg
.npmrc
.lock-wscript
.svn
.wafpickle-*
config.gypi
CVS
npm-debug.log

Hmm. Something goes wrong. :)

[mxck]

Fixed in c398fc4

[mxck]

NPM have a bug with it npm/npm#19073
Publish last version with yarn :)

[Noitidart]

Woohoo it works!!! Thanks all!!
