npm install hangs on extracting faker

Question

I'm trying to get working my project based on EmberJS on another computer. I've cloned the repo, and when I'm trying to run npm install it hangs on extracting Faker package.

extract:faker: verb gentlyRm don't care about contents; nuking C:\Users\Babanov.Viktor\PhpstormProjects\IdeaPlannerFront\node_modules.staging\faker-c7ff04ca\node_modules

I tried to wait for a couple of hours, and nothing changed. Removing of the .stage directory didn't give any effect.

Here are my package.json contents:

}

Node.js 6.11.2

npm 5.3.0

UPD.

I deleted node_modules directory, installed phantomjs-prebuilt, changed ember-cli-mirage version to the latest stable for me (0.3.1) and explicitly installed faker with npm i --save-dev [email protected] (this version is required by ember-cli-mirage). Now when npm i npm doesn't try to install faker once more. But the error is still here. npm hangs on

extract:core-js: sill extract [email protected]

I guess it is the next plugin to extract after the faker.

Solution 1

• ember-cli is having another dependency called ember-cli-mirage which is dependant on faker.
• On previous machine, check what versions are there for node, npm, ember-cli, bower and phantomjs-prebuilt.

• Either you can use same versions. Or try clearing cache and updating only npm using:

  npm cache clean
  npm i -g npm
  

Updated Answer

Now that you are receiving following error:

extract:core-js: sill extract [email protected]

I dig up more and found that your [email protected] is using [email protected] version which in turn uses [email protected]. If you go to npm@babel-eval-plugin, you will find there github repository link which no longer exist and move to npm@babel-plugin-transform-eval. Hence, this issue might be occurring.

Overall, your ember-cli version 2.13.x is having some not supporting libraries. I will suggest you to upgrade your ember-cli version as mentioned in there release documentation.

npm install -g [email protected] rimraf
rimraf node_modules dist tmp
npm install --save-dev [email protected]
npm install
ember init

I will also suggest to re-clone your repository on fresh location and try these instructions their.

Solution 2

I don't know exactly why, but I had the same issue and when changing "something" in my package.json (not a dependency update, just i.e. my package.json version) the npm install worked again.
