为“npm install --save-dev eslint --verbose”获取“错误：EINVAL：无效参数，读取”

Question

Any ideas/assistance here re how to get "npm install --save-dev eslint --verbose" working. I keep getting:

Error: EINVAL: invalid argument, read

I've setup up a new react-native project:

react-native init gcLists

E:\gcLists>npm -v
5.5.1
E:\gcLists>yarn -v
1.2.1
E:\gcLists>react-native -v
react-native-cli: 2.0.1
react-native: 0.49.5

npm install --save-dev eslint --verbose

Last part of the log:

Answer 1

Since you are using drive letter E:, you might be on a portable drive. I had the same problem using an USB-Stick formatted on FAT32. I solved it reformatting to NTFS.

Answer 2

What helped me was to also delete my package-lock.json file.

rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json
npm i

Answer 3

Sometimes some packages have issues with npm. This could be base on combination of OS/package version/node version/npm version compatibility issue.

In such cases best thing is to do is try and use some other package manager. Try this with yarn

yarn add eslint

Answer 4

Same problem happened to me and what i did was deleting the whole node_modules folder and run npm install again. It fixed the error. The reason was in the initial npm install it was closed in the middle by me which crashed some files.

Answer 5

Try cleaning the npm cache:

npm cache clean

Then try again.

Answer 6

I was getting the error when I did npm update so i deleted some npm outdated node_modules and ran npm update again and it worked.

yarn upgrade also fixed the thing.
