npx create-react-app my-app ERORR: rollbackFailedOptional

Question

The command create-react-app my-app worked fine for the last week that I have been using it and now it is returning the error "rollbackFailedOptional: verb npm-session 895a42364389108b".

I already tried

npm config rm proxy
npm config rm https-proxy

npm config set registry http://registry.npmjs.org/

I am still getting the same error.

Edit:

after letting it fail completely it says the following:

npm ERR! code ENOTFOUND
npm ERR! errno ENOTFOUND
npm ERR! network request to http://registry.npmjs.org/create-react-app failed, reason: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND domain
npm ERR! network This is a problem related to network connectivity.
npm ERR! network In most cases you are behind a proxy or have bad network settings.

Answer 1

I figured it out. I did

npm config get proxy

it returned null

So I had to go to "C:\Users\Myname.npmrc", open it in a notepad and then delete whats in there and add

proxy=http://yourorganizationproxy.com:8080
https-proxy=http://yourorganizationproxy.com:8080

Answer 2

As Caleb indicates you should go to "C:\Users\<user>" and check for.npmrc file, then edit with any notepad app. Then you should

• Delete everything
• Add:

 proxy=http://yourorganizationproxy.com:8080 https-proxy=http://yourorganizationproxy.com:8080 strict-ssl=false

• Save

Hope it helps
