NPM installer gets an ENOENT error with 'nft.storage' in package.json

[sisittu99]

As written in the title, I was not able to install anything in my TS project whenever nft.storage was inside my package.json.

versions

On package.json:

• "ts-node": "^10.9.2",
• "nft.storage": "^7.1.1",
• "typescript": "^5.2.2"

On terminal (Powershell):

• npm -v: 10.7.0
• nvm -v: 1.1.12
• nvm current: v20.11.0

expected behaviour

npm i installs any packages, included yours.

actual behaviour

npm i does not finishes the process and so does not create the package-lock.json, except when I remove nft.storage from package.json

What I already tried

• npm clean cache --force
• removing node_modules and package-lock.json from my project and reinstall anything
• copied package.json elsewhere and installed it (did not work)
• updating npm, nvm and Node.js

Please note

nft.storage actually works fine when installed with yarn add; however, the packet gets added in package.json, blocking everything else that needs being installed afterwards.

Thanks for sharing this. Is it blocking you from using NFT.Storage?

Hi @elizabeth-griffiths, I'm having the same issue here, and yes it is blocking me from using NFT.Storage at the moment, haven't tried the http API yet tho
