Current Behavior

I’m encountering an issue with installing npm packages in my project. Although I can run the project using npm, I’m unable to install any new packages. (I got a bunch of http fetch GET 200, but the install process never ends...). This problem started yesterday, and despite trying various solutions found online, I haven’t been able to resolve it. Here are the commands I’ve already tried without success:

npm config set registry https://registry.npmjs.org/

npm config set registry http://registry.npmjs.org/ --global

npm cache clear --force

npm config set loglevel info

npm install --versbose

npm config rm proxy
npm config rm https-proxy                        
sudo npm install -g npm@latest                   

rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json           

npm install npm@latest -g  

sudo chown -R 501:20 "/Users/carolma/.npm"       

rm -rf ~/.npm   
rm -rf node_modules                                                                                             
rm -f package-lock.json                          

sudo chown -R `whoami` /usr/local

I don’t believe there’s a network issue since the URL like https://registry.npmjs.org/@cyntler%2freact-doc-viewer (the package I tried to install) can be accessed through web browser and curl command, but I still can’t diagnose the problem. I’ve attached two debug logs: one from running npm install &> text.txt and one from trying to install a package. npm_install.txt debug_log.txt

Expected Behavior

The expectation is that packages can be installed successfully in a short period of time.

@Carol-cs if it's possible, could you please provide package name, package.json or lock file for which this issue is happening? It would give us direction to reproduce this issue if it's happening every time on install.

@Carol-cs I experienced the same thing today. I tried using NVM with a different Node version, and it worked.

I was having infinite loading issues on v22.5.0 when running npm i.

I upgraded to v22.5.1 and no issues.
