Missing `github-url-from-git` from npm@3 in Node v5 RC1 #3540

rvagg · 2015-10-27T01:47:13Z

If you have this issue, please run sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node_modules/ and try installing again. ~Fishrock123

So it doesn't exist? I.e not checked in? Can you check if it's in the source?

in core

$ find deps/npm/ -name github-url-from-git
$

same as #3494 I suppose

evanlucas · 2015-10-27T01:57:44Z

Is that even a dependency still?

evanlucas · 2015-10-27T02:00:04Z

strange, RC1 works fine for me on OS X

targos · 2015-10-27T05:50:02Z

Is it possible to install it with nvm ? cc @ljharb

ljharb · 2015-10-27T06:57:11Z

@targos sadly I haven't yet had time to finish implementing it. Follow progress at nvm-sh/nvm#779

iarna · 2015-10-27T08:10:03Z

That module isn't used by npm@3 at all (it was supplanted by the more general hosted-git-info)....

I'd love to know what module your npm-debug.log says was trying to load it.

iarna · 2015-10-27T08:11:36Z

(#3494 is caused by node's .gitignore including super broad patterns that include files required by npm, so definitely not related.)

Fishrock123 · 2015-10-27T15:19:21Z

I am unable to reproduce on windows with a basic setup, and it also seems to work fine for @evanlucas.

@rvagg I think this is on your end.

targos · 2015-10-27T19:18:35Z

I am also unable to reproduce on OSX

rvagg · 2015-10-27T22:15:25Z

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node_modules/ and reinstalling fixed for me, would love an explanation of why I might have been hit with this to know if this might be a general problem with v5.0.0 when goes out? perhaps a particular upgrade path (I'm experimenting with different options now)

Fishrock123 · 2015-11-02T16:21:07Z

Maybe related to #3606

jbergens · 2015-11-12T09:52:09Z

I still get this with npm 5.0.0 (not rc) on Windows. Might be some installation issue with the upgrade. I also have moved my npm folder to /dev/npm instead of {APPDATA}/npm and updated npmrc.

chrilith · 2015-11-12T09:53:55Z

Hi,

Just install Node.js v5.0.0 with npm 3.3.6 on Windows over an existing v0.12.x and I had the same issue.

It seems that some old dependencies remain on the machine (the old folder nodejs/npm isn't removed) on installation.

Removing everything fixed the problem for me.

Thanks

GregWoods · 2015-11-13T14:27:00Z

Same for me @chrilith.

Uninstall
Manually delete residual Program Files/Nodejs folder
Reinstall

Problem gone.
Thanks

jokeyrhyme · 2015-11-18T23:21:09Z

A colleague on OS X installed the Node.js 4.2.2 LTS, then installed/upgraded to the Node.js 5.1.0 stable (using the .pkg files from the official website). We ended up with the issue reported here, and had to manually uninstall Node.js and reinstall 5.1.0 in order to fix things. Just FYI.

krisgnyc · 2015-12-07T03:24:23Z

Same problem here...Had to delete node_modules in usr/local/lib/ to fix things

kruncher · 2015-12-10T03:22:18Z

Again, same issue for me on OS X. But oddly I did not experience this issue on Windows 7.

surger · 2015-12-19T08:15:58Z

Had a same troubles on Windows 7 x64

And npm go to work, may be it will useful for somebody

Joeldk · 2015-12-28T16:29:34Z

Thank you @surger. Worked for us.

flouc001 · 2016-02-08T14:57:21Z

@chrilith thanks for your comment, just hit this issue and indeed it was residual files under the "Program Files/nodejs" directory causing the issue.

Jameskmonger · 2016-02-17T17:14:55Z

@GregWoods That worked, thanks.

emazzu · 2016-02-18T17:46:44Z

How can I resolve the same problem ???

emazzu · 2016-02-18T17:47:22Z

@Jameskmonger How did you resolve ?

Jameskmonger · 2016-02-18T18:17:02Z

@emazzu

Uninstall
Delete Program Files\NodeJS
Reinstall

feross · 2016-03-24T08:23:18Z

This issue still exists when upgrading from Node v4 LTS to Node v5.9.1.

MylesBorins · 2016-03-24T08:32:26Z

@feross I think we should be potentially wiping /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm or the windows equivalent in the installer...

iarna · 2016-03-26T00:22:53Z

@thealphanerd I agree, if you wipe the bundled npm from the previous version before installing there won't be problems.

kirkbushell · 2016-03-31T08:11:09Z

Doing what @rvagg stated resolved it for me without any issues.

jnatherley · 2016-04-07T09:39:33Z

Currently using 5.0.0 installed via NVM on OSX, I tried deleting node_modules and the one in /usr/lib and reinstalling node, nothing appears to work..

"normalizr": "git://github.com/gaearon/normalizr.git#master",

Error: Cannot resolve module 'normalizr'

Any ideas? Maybe i've done this the wrong way or i'm missing something obvious.

Will try to sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm and reinstall node.

** Update **

Running sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm and then running the Node.js installer again solves this problem.

Thank you @stevenbeeckman

@GregWoods thanks the below worked for me..
Uninstall

praveen262k · 2016-12-28T04:09:07Z

For me npm clean cache did the trick

herebebeasties · 2017-04-20T16:44:35Z

See npm/npm#14026 which is the same as this. IMO this bug should be reopened as this is really a Node installer issue, surely (it should remove any existing files before writing new ones).

jcicero518 · 2017-08-01T01:38:50Z

This is still an issue with v6.11.1 on Mac OSX. I get the "Cannot find module 'github-url-from-git'" error when attempting to do anything with NPM.

I removed /usr/local/lib/npm and ran the installer again, which fixed it. I second re-opening this issue. I was able to solve it quickly (with the help of people here) but there's clearly an issue with the installer.
