npm 错误！ 解析 ' 附近时 JSON 输入意外结束

Question

So this error randomly popped up while I was working on my project:

I've searched online and most of the answers ask to run npm cache clean --force . This did not work for me :(

I've also tried to reinstall npm but still get the same error.

Here is the error-log:

I've been stuck on this for a while hoping someone can help me out :/

Answer 1

You should try to reinstall entirely nodejs from your computer. This could solve the problem.

sudo apt-get remove nodejs
sudo apt-get install nodejs

Answer 2

You can try "yarn" instead of npm.

Installation (If you are using Mac):

brew install yarn

Or check here https://classic.yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install/

Then just run (Works like "npm install")

yarn

Answer 3

try npm cache clean --force , fixed the issue for me.

For my Vue.js project this problem was solved by first deleting the package-lock.json file and then running npm install
