man i just wanted to code and have a job..... now my computer is broken because of this problem ,probably because of all the things ive done/downloaded etc. lol

[detj]

@lewsea try removing node & npm completely and re-install. see if that fixes the issue.

[lewsea]

@detj already did that 😑 but still get the same error

[ljharb]

@lewsea can you try npm install -g npm@next-7 and see if that works?

[OksXen]

Same here. Trying to run this command: c:\ npm adduser --registry https://pkg.domain.io

Sometimes I see the same error on Win10 / Node14.13.1 / Npm7. I was deleting all cache, reinstalling nodejs and npm, but error is still there. It may be related to an unstable network connection...

[kaznovac]

npm cache verify this fixed this problem for me

[shreeyaBuilds]

the same issue tried all above all solutions but still same error

[lewsea]

@Shreeyag29 it do be like that sometimes

[Indieaiden]

Same error here trying to install some pre-edited bootswatch theme to work with. 2020-10-27T15_13_22_122Z-debug.log

That's the log, also made a cache verify and such. Still not working.

Node v14.14.0 NPM 6.14.8 Windows 10 machine

Facing this error when running the command 'npm outdated'

npm ERR! cb() never called!

[kaznovac]

ignore my previous comment about npm cache verify, i just got lucky while installing (1600-1700 packages)

this seems to have something with network state and/or network tools (bunch of errors while trying yarn install might be a hint); i've disabled little snitch and adguard also switched to cell hotspot, and installation worked (don't have time to experiment further, deadline is tomorrow xD)

[lewsea]

@kaznovac yeah i think it has something to do with network/firewalls and antivirus software, good thing it worked for you

[mrpickles3rd]

I had the same issue when I was connected to a slow VPN, 4 or 5 time it errored. Disconnecting from it and having a good network connection fixed it for me.

[indietato]

Hi guys, I had the same issue and I finally found the problem, the problem is the antivirus, I disabled it that worked.

[GourabSanyal]

Faced the same error. Was stuck with it for a long time.

My os is windows 10 pro.

This is how I got out of it :

1. Clear all the npm-cache first, and install the latest version of Node.
2. Uninstall the create-react-app globally using npm uninstall -g create-react-app in the Node terminal.
3. then runnpx create-react-app <app name>

I don't know why but the last two methods worked only when I deleted the logs first.

Hope this works for you.

I built my apps with Docker Compose, and each Nodejs service ended with an error: "npm error cb() never called!". I have tried everything: cache cleaning, reinstall, etc. The interesting thing is that everything works on my Macbook. So, I thought it must be something with a network or Windows. So, I decided to go via VPN, and it worked. I don't know the exact problem it solves, but this thing worked for me.

[lewsea]

man every time there's a new comment here, it brings back the nightmare this problem has caused.

[EliasMwita]

no answer at all

[EliasMwita]

i face the same error when i want to create the my application

[EliasMwita]

ERROR in /js/app Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'C:\Users\ELIAS MWITA NSONGO\Desktop\projects\laravel-studying\resources\scss\app.css' in 'C:\Users\ELIAS MWITA NSONGO\Desktop\projects\laravel-studying'

webpack compiled with 1 error

[Sapnajha19]

@alexcruztech Hey can you tell me how to disable it?

[indietato]

@Sapnajha19 Hey sorry for the late answer, I think I was using Avast, so I just uninstalled and that works for me.

There is a high probability that there has some packages incompatible with nodejs or npm version。I solved this problem when I use yarn and yarn told me more details about the incompatible version.Finally I use nvm to manage the node version and npm install successfully
