I have installed Noed JS and NPM. I have cloned the repo from git and trying to run the app in local. But I am facing below proxy issue while running app.

npm install nodemon
npm ERR! code ENOTFOUND
npm ERR! errno ENOTFOUND
npm ERR! network request to https://registry.npmjs.com/nodemon failed, reason: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND 28
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.
npm ERR! network
npm ERR! network If you are behind a proxy, please make sure that the
npm ERR! network 'proxy' config is set properly.  See: 'npm help config'`

I have check with proxy and it is set to below network.

Pinging proxy.internal.domainname.com with 32 bytes of data:

I tried to set proxy to https://registry.npmjs.com/nodemon using below command.

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

When I run npm install after this, again I got the same error.

npm --proxy http://registry.npmjs.org/  install npm
npm ERR! code ENOTFOUND
npm ERR! errno ENOTFOUND
npm ERR! network request to http://registry.npmjs.org/npm failed, reason: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND 28

I have tried many other workarounds from google but still facing the same proxy issue. I am just looking to run this app in local so that I can test my code in local before deploying. Am I missing something here.

Below is my sample package.json file.

      "node": true,
      "jest": true
    },
    "extends": [
      "eslint:recommended"
    ]
  }
}

Edit:

Running the npm config ls command returns the following result:

; cli configs
metrics-registry = "http://registry.npmjs.org/async-each"
scope = ""
user-agent = "npm/6.13.4 node/v12.14.0 win32 x64"

; userconfig C:\Users\username\.npmrc
https-proxy = "http://registry.npmjs.org/"
https://registry.npmjs.com/nodemon = ""
key = ""
registry = "http://registry.npmjs.org/"
strict-ssl = false

; builtin config undefined
prefix = "C:\\Users\\username\\AppData\\Roaming\\npm"

; node bin location = C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe
; cwd = H:\IRB PMX Services\core\src
; HOME = C:\Users\username
; "npm config ls -l" to show all defaults.

Edit 2:

I have now run the following command to delete the erroneous configuration key, i.e. the https://registry.npmjs.com/nodemon = "" part:

npm config delete https://registry.npmjs.com/nodemon

and again ran the npm install command. But again got the proxy error as below:

npm ERR! network request to registry.npmjs.org/async-each/@types%2fnode failed, reason: read ECONNRESET

  • Try running the following command to set the registry to the default URL, i.e. https...: npm config set registry "https://registry.npmjs.org/" Commented Feb 3, 2020 at 12:30
  • @RobC, again proxy error. I have tried many time this command but everytime getting proxy error. npm ERR! network request to registry.npmjs.org/caniuse-lite/-/caniuse-lite-1.0.30000939.tgz failed, reason: read ECONNRESET 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.

I have resolved this issue with below steps :

  1. make sure you have internet connection: ping 8.8.8.8
  2. make sure you have DNS resolver working: ping www.google.com
  3. make sure you can access registry.npmjs.org: ping registry.npmjs.org
  4. make sure you can connect via https.

Run below command in npm command prompt or Visual Studio Code terminal.

npm config rm proxy

npm config rm https-proxy

Try in your browser: https://registry.npmjs.org/

Make sure you are trying to connected to:

registry.npmjs.org

and not to:

"registry.npmjs.org registry.npmjs.org:443"

Use below command to set registry.

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

If you are using a proxy to access the Web, then you also have to configure npm to use it. Use:

npm config set proxy http://username:password@proxyname:8080

npm config set https-proxy http://username:password@proxyname:8080

Points to remember here while setting above two values :

  1. proxyname you need to check with your company network team. Enter that proxy URL in above 2 values.
  2. If your password contains any special character then replace it with Encoded character. In this command you can’t provide a password with special character. Replace only special character not .(dot).

    Example: password is : Welcome@12# then it will be like Welcome%4012%23.

Then try to run your npm install command and it should work.
