What causes the npm error {errno: -4094, code: 'UNKNOWN', syscall: 'readlink'}? - npm

I have been happily building a next.js app over the last couple days without error. Today I installed the firebase npm and suddenly I am getting a strange error when I try to run "npm run dev?
ready - started server on 0.0.0.0:3002, url: http://localhost:3002
[Error: UNKNOWN: unknown error, readlink 'C:\...\seo-site\.next\server\pages\_document.js'] {
errno: -4094,
code: 'UNKNOWN',
syscall: 'readlink',
path: 'C:\\...\\seo-site\\.next\\server\\pages\\_document.js'
}
Even if I uninstall firebase and roll the entire project back to a working build I still get the same error. If I try to run this "broken" build on another computer with the same version of node and npm it runs completely fine. I've tried running npm cache clean --force and npm install -g npm#latest --force several times without any luck.
I have noticed that as I change things I get the error with a different path. Sometimes it's \webpack-runtime.js sometimes its \errors.js and somethimes it's \pages\_document.js'
I cant find anything online or on stack overflow for an error matching this errno or syscall. Has anyone experienced this before or know what is causing this?

deleting the .next file and running npm run dev fixed the issue. I am not sure why this worked but I think it has something to do with next.js trying to use parts of a previous build when you make updates that are causing errors. deleting folder forces next to rebuild everything again.

I tried to go back directories from command line and then reentered into the workplace directory and tried npm run dev. Worked for me.

Right-click the project folder and from the menu choose "Open in integrated Terminal". Then try to run "npm run dev". If it still doesn't work, go back one folder with the command "cd .." and then go back again to the project folder with "cd project folder name". Try running "npm run dev". It worked for me on both occasions. Hope this helps.

Solved by restarting VS Code 🤔
Error occurred seemingly out of nowhere, when restarting the local server with 'npm run dev'. Just doing minor CSS changes to a component in the Nextjs project.

NPM stuck on idealTree: timing idealTree

Today i decided to start react native cli project. Everything works great since i want to add new lib of course using npm . So i ran npm install ... . And this command always stuck on
Image
idealTree: timing idealTree Completed in 3440ms
And nothing happened. So i tried to ran
npm install --verbose
And again stuck on the same place. Also clear cache npm cache clear --force and nothing happened again. I don'n know how to fix this
I have had npm install freeze on me numerous times, lately. I'm not sure of the cause. When that happens I follow these steps:
Kill the npm install process with ctrl+c.
Delete node_modules. If there are files that you cannot delete because they are currently in use, that may mean that the npm install process was not successfully stopped. Try opening Task Manager and ending all nodejs and terminal processes. If this fails, restart your pc and then delete node_modules
Clean cache and reinstall node_modules with npm cache clean --force && npm i
This has happened to me a few times before and all I had to do was kill my dev server before running npm install.
Hope that helps as well!
I had the same issue on node latest version v18.8.0 and npm v8.18.0, I just downgraded to node 16.6 using nvm and it worked fine.
For me, the issue was that I had node running for a separate project. Terminating the other node process fixed the issue.
When i opened my package.json i saw '~2.2.1' in front of react-native-gesture-handler which probably means that it was notinstalled properly
Just close all terminals and then open task manager and kill all the processes corresponding to NodeJS. Then install it again.
Hopefully it will resolve.
I also faced this problem and the solution was simple by stopping all the "nodejs terminals" that are working outside.
When you stop nodeJS Terminals running in the background, it will complete the current installation process.

When you want to add package on your project it is better to stop server before adding new package.
I had same problem but after doing this it is solved.

Npm install makes Windows crash

Generally when I run npm install sometimes my pc crashes and shows the screen like the image below. I’ve tried removing both the package-lock.json and node_modules. I’ve also run the commands npm rebuild -g and npm cache clean -f.
2 days ago I reinstalled my pc to fabric settings and it still doesn’t help.
I’m using WSL, nodejs v12.10.0 and npm 6.10.3.
Anyone knows what’s up and could help me?

Update
I've been using yarn instead of npm since 3 months back and this problem has never occured again. So if you are experiencing the same problem as me, try it out.

'EPERM: operation not permitted' error when building Nuxt app

Getting one of the following intermittant errors when running npm run dev:
EPERM: operation not permitted, mkdir 'D:\projects\my_project\.nuxt\components'
EPERM: operation not permitted, lstat 'D:\projects\my_project\.nuxt
I tried npm cache clear to no avail. Some people attribute this issue to npm install folders shared on some network, not my case.
Note: this is a random issue. I just tried again after a couple hours and now it works. But when creating this question, it never worked no matter how many times I tried.
Any idea?
I had the same issue. I believe is related on VS Code.
I closed VS Code and stopped my console.
I rebuild Nuxt with 'npm run dev' and reopen VS Code.
Now is working.
To solve this issue is only
Stop dev, Close your CMD and Open CMD again and last you can npm run dev again
Hope this will help you :)
Same issue. I'm on windows with VS code. Closed terminal and run again with administrator, then it worked. Permission issue.
first close the vscode and the bash or cmd runner the project
then
just remove the ".nuxt" directory form root your project
I am using webstorm, and this problem also happened to me. I closed my terminal, then I closed webstrom and opened my IDE again and npm run dev. It solved my problem and maybe it can solves yours.
I was running Nuxt inside Docker, and it seemed that this issue was caused by my Docker images using up all the allotted space.
After cleaning up Docker images and containers, things started working again when I reinstalled.
Edit:
Never mind, this issue happens when I change branches with git. Fixing it is simply about restarting Docker.
For me the issue was that the file rights were given to root rather than to my user.
I fixed it using the command:
chown -R <user>:<group> .nuxt
Make sure to replace the <user> and <group>.
In my situation, dev script was already running so it prevented build script to access that directory.

Can't run 'npm install' on a React-Native project

I am currently trying to run a simulation of a pre-built React Native project on my computer but I couldn't install NPM on the project. Every time I run 'npm install' on the root file of the project, I get the following error:

I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling node and npm, but the problem still persists. I also tried updating pm2, but that doesn't work either. I do not have a very good understanding of how npm works, and honestly could not pin point where the actual problem is. Any help will be much appreciated!

Can't install Semantic-UI via NPM

I've been trying to install Semantic via NPM for a while now and am having problems. I run npm install semantic-ui and it goes through the setup process. However, it stops at Finished 'install' after 3.61 s and never exits the process. If I manually cancel the process and navigate to the semantic folder and run gulp build I'm told there's no local gulp found. So I run npm install gulp just for fun. It installs and I run gulp build again but all of the gulp dependencies are missing.
Any ideas? It's getting frustrating because I've been tinkering with it for a few hours instead of getting to work on the actual project. Running npm install in the semantic directory or my project directory doesn't work either. Thanks for the help!
EDIT: I tried creating a new Ubuntu VM and installing Semantic the same way I was on my Mac. It worked with no problems leading me to believe it's something to do with my configuration on my Mac.
This is really odd, but after I got to the Finished 'install' step, nothing was happening. Just a solid cursor when the node deps should've been installing. I decided to hit return just to see if anything would happen and that seems to have done it. Hitting return gives me the spinning cursor and the deps install. I can successfully run gulp build after that. Weird.
