Failed to install plugin

[zorox0x]

Hello I'm getting this error when am trying to install the plugin

Error invoking remote method 'installPlugin': Error: Yarn error warning package.json: No license field

[techchrism]

I've been aware of this for a while but unfortunately, I haven't had the time to look into replicating it. As a workaround, you can open the plugins directory (accessible from the menu) and manually run npm install insomnia-plugin-valorant

[darknblack]

As an alternative to npm install insomnia-plugin-valorant, You can run "git clone insomnia-plugin-valorant" the plugins directory to solve the issue.

[techchrism]

Interesting, I wouldn't expect that to work. Insomnia must automatically be installing plugin dependencies or something along those lines.

[techchrism]

Good news - I'm able to replicate this issue using yarn. Bad news - I haven't been able to replicate this within Insomnia.

First, I found the yarn version by running & "$env:LocalAppData\insomnia\app-2022.7.1\Insomnia.exe" "$env:LocalAppData\insomnia\app-2022.7.1\resources\bin\yarn-standalone.js" -v (in powershell) with the ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE environment variable set to true.

Then I installed yarn with npm install -g yarn@1.22.19 Finally, I got the license warning from running yarn add insomnia-plugin-valorant --no-lockfile --production twice

Any update to this issue? I'm experiencing the same problem.

[techchrism]

I haven't yet found anything that might cause this. Just to test, can you check if installing other insomnia plugins works as expected?

[RiceGrain1]

Nope. I still get the same error trying to install other plugins as well. If I try and manually install it with the code from github I get a different error:

Yeah, if you do a simple git clone, you'd still need to install the dependencies with npm install, which is the cause of the most recent error. Since this happens with other plugins (phew) if you could open an issue at https://github.com/Kong/insomnia/issues and link it here, I'd appreciate it. I did a quick search and at a glance, there doesn't appear to be an existing open issue.

Can I just open a ticket there and add a link that links here?

[techchrism]

Yeah, that would work too. I'd open it myself but I haven't been successful in replicating it within Insomnia.

[RiceGrain1]

So when you try and install the plugin it works for you? Is there a chance we're on different insomnia versions?

[techchrism]

Yes, installing the plugin works fine for me, across multiple versions including the latest.

Okay well now its halfway working and I literally did not change a thing. I am so confused. When I try and make a request most of them just give me an "Error: Timeout was reached" response. Not sure why it wont go through.

Would you like me to still make the issue on the insomnia repo?

[techchrism]

Yes, if you're still able to replicate the issue (perhaps through uninstalling and reinstalling insomnia), I'd appreciate it if you could open an issue on the insomnia repo.

[techchrism]

Replication is trivial - just create a package.json in a parent directory (such as the user home directory) with the contents {}.

Fixed by my PR here https://github.com/Kong/insomnia/pull/6829

I'll close this issue when the fix is merged and released.
