[BUG] "ERR! Cannot find module 'agentkeepalive'" trying to "npm install -g [email protected]" #2818

codingthat · 2021-03-04T11:48:49Z

As far as I know, this is not:

[BUG] npm install -g npm may break npm installation #555 (I don't recall trying to upgrade and breaking anything, previously; plus, npm is not installed as root: if I try the same command with sudo, I get sudo: npm: command not found)
[BUG] when globali install v7 I can not instal v6 #2454 (I'm running npm 7.5.3, not 6.x)
[BUG] npx behavior in CI environments #1935 (not npx, not CI, just a local Linux environment)

Current Behavior:

When I open a terminal, I get this message:

npm notice
npm notice New minor version of npm available! 7.5.3 -> 7.6.0
npm notice Changelog: https://github.com/npm/cli/releases/tag/v7.6.0
npm notice Run npm install -g [email protected] to update!
npm notice

When I run npm install -g [email protected] as it suggests, I get:

npm ERR! code MODULE_NOT_FOUND

Expected Behavior:

A successful upgrade to npm 7.6.0.

Steps To Reproduce:

In Linux Mint 19.3 64-bit,
With nvm installed and pointing to v12.16.1 as the default,
Run npm install -g [email protected]
See the above error

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

codingthat · 2021-03-04T11:56:56Z

Interestingly, despite npm --version showing 7.5.3 (matching the terminal notice I was given), I discovered this in attempting to update Node.js itself using nvm just now:

$ nvm use 14.16.0
Now using node v14.16.0 (npm v6.14.11)

So...I ran nvm install-latest-npm and that worked. Now nvm reports npm 7.6.0, and so does npm --version. Hurray!

I guess then the notice should be changed for those of us running nvm?

(I'm also curious why the recommended method didn't work, because I'm pretty sure I've upgraded exactly the same way previously, without trouble.)

ljharb · 2021-03-04T14:33:42Z

Unfortunately npm v7.5.3 had some issues, and once you'd upgraded to it in your node v12.16.1, you may have had to uninstall and reinstall that node version to be able to get a newer version of npm. I don't think this has anything to do with nvm itself (except that you were able to switch to a different node version that avoided the problem)

codingthat · 2021-03-04T15:08:02Z

Ah, OK...I didn't have to uninstall anything, I just used nvm to install the latest Node.js and then used nvm to install the latest npm. I'm not sure installing the latest Node.js even helped, necessarily, because as you can see above, the latest still had npm v6 attached to it.

ljharb · 2021-03-04T15:29:59Z

Only node 15 ships with npm 7 initially.

paulvandenburg · 2021-03-05T09:46:12Z

I'm not sure if this is the exact same issue, but I also have trouble upgrading my npm to the latest version (now 7.6.1) and I'm on Linux Mint 19.3 as well.
I'm not using nvm but using node 14.16.0.
I'm currently already on npm version 7.6.0, but attempting the upgrade (npm i -g npm) gives a similar error:

Had the same problem on Mac OS when running npm install -g [email protected] it works perfectly by running npm install -g npm@latest
Hope it helps :)

paulvandenburg · 2021-03-08T20:39:24Z

Just retried the same npm i -g npm and it succeeded this time. Maybe there was some quirk in the npm repos that has been resolved in the mean time?

codingthat · 2021-03-09T11:25:50Z

Interesting that the different formats give different results even though they target the same version in the end! Maybe that's the easiest way to fix the notification text so that it's universally applicable, then...

When removing the line npm set progress=false it works every time 🤔

This appears to be a transient issue. Using these repro steps, sometimes the install succeeds, and sometimes it fails with Cannot find module 'agentkeepalive':

Just to add a data point, if it helps:

Same error as OP for node v15.5.0 installed via nvm 0.35.3 on Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS. Installed agentkeepalive manually to get npm updated.

Same on Big Sur 16" MBP 2019. I predict 3,000 "me too" comments coming soon. 🤔

Perhaps obviously, installing agentkeepalive will then allow you to upgrade your npm: npm i -g agentkeepalive

hs749 · 2021-04-30T14:38:15Z

I got the same error (ERR! Cannot find module 'agentkeepalive') when trying to run the update for npm globally:
npm install -g [email protected]
Then after I installed module 'agentkeepalive' globally, i.e. npm install -g agentkeepalive, ran the npm update again and it worked. Maybe a temporary workaround ?

Thanks @evictor (and @hs749 for confirming), it seems to be a solid workaround, worked like a charm for me :)

I had the same issue while trying to update npm from 7.11.2 to 7.13.0:
npm ERR! code MODULE_NOT_FOUND npm ERR! Cannot find module 'agentkeepalive'

I installed "agentkeepalive" (npm install -g agentkeepalive) and then I've been able to install 7.13.0 without any issue.

stickyburn · 2021-05-18T21:38:46Z

It makes sense for the update to work after a npm install -g agentkeepalive , but shouldn't this be included in the build if it's a needed dependency?

[Faced on Arch 5.12.4 Intel]

ljharb · 2021-05-18T22:43:37Z

@yashank09 i believe it's long since been fixed, but anyone stuck on older npm versions where this problem exists can't ever avoid having this problem.

stickyburn · 2021-05-19T02:36:14Z

@ljharb I see. I was setting up a new system so just installed nvm on arch. The older version was included by default which led me to this error. This should be resolved once nvm upgrades to the latest version out of box.

ljharb · 2021-05-19T02:48:57Z

@yashank09 it's got nothing to do with nvm. the version of node installed is determined by your .nvmrc file, your nvm default alias, or the version you pass to nvm install - it doesn't do anything specific by default.

This happened to me today as well (Ubuntu 20.04, x86_64, Node.js v14.15.4, npm was 7.12.1):

Dropping the version constraint worked:

Please consider fixing this bug or at least changing the suggested upgrade command.

This bug was fixed in v7.17.0 and was due to some lazy loading of agentkeepalive in a subdependency of npm-registry-fetch. It should not happen in versions going forward.

ref: e92b5f2

wraithgar · 2021-06-23T20:22:24Z

If you are consistently getting this error, and omitting the version does not work, you can install the newest npm via our install script:

$ curl -qs https://www.npmjs.com/install.sh|sh

Same on Big Sur 16" MBP 2019. I predict 3,000 "me too" comments coming soon.

Perhaps obviously, installing agentkeepalive will then allow you to upgrade your npm: npm i -g agentkeepalive

Thanks, fixed it for me!

Same here, thank you.

I've just come across this issue and what solved it in my case was switching node (using nvm) from v14.15.1 to v14.17.0.
