Volta fails to download node/npm #540

Closed npaton closed 3 months ago

npaton commented 3 months ago

Is there an existing issue for this?

What happened?

Sometimes volta will fail to download node or npm. Apparently due to a bad response from the node/npm servers. Maybe the client from which it is being downloaded is hitting some sort rate limit. This might happen on a CI such as Github Actions, or on a large private network such as a corporation or university. Not sure, speculating.

The first solution to try out is to just try again.

This is the issue on the volta project: https://github.com/volta-cli/volta/issues/1523

This is a potential workaround: https://github.com/volta-cli/volta/issues/1523#issuecomment-1975265044
