[Error Fix] NestJS: Solving the npm install --silent Error 😱.

 

While setting up a new NestJS project, I encountered an unexpected roadblock — an error message that read:

🚨 “Failed to execute command: npm install — silent.” 🚨

At first, I was perplexed, but instead of panicking, I took a step back and started researching potential causes. After scouring online forums and developer communities, I discovered that this issue is commonly linked to network infrastructure challenges specific to Korea.

Troubleshooting Steps I Took:

  • Checked My Internet Connection

Sometimes, unstable or slow network speeds can interfere with package installations. However, my connection seemed fine.

  • Cleared npm Cache

Running npm cache clean --force didn't seem to resolve the issue.

  • Tried an Alternative Installation Approach

Switching to a different package manager, Yarn, was suggested in several online discussions.

The Solution That Worked:

Instead of sticking with npm, I decided to give Yarn a try by running the following command:

yarn install

To my relief, the project installed successfully without any issues. It turns out that Yarn handles network requests differently, which can sometimes bypass region-specific connectivity issues.

Key Takeaways:

  • If you’re facing issues with npm install --silent in Korea, it could be due to network-related factors rather than a problem with your project setup.
  • Trying alternative package managers like Yarn or pnpm can be a quick and effective workaround.
  • Always explore multiple solutions before assuming the worst — sometimes, the fix is simpler than expected!

I hope this helps anyone facing a similar issue. Happy coding! πŸš€

Resolving NestJS Dependency Injection Error for Model in a Service

If you encounter an error indicating that NestJS cannot resolve a Model in a service, it’s likely due to a missing injection setup. In the service constructor, you may be attempting to inject multiple models, but one or more models might not be correctly registered or injected. Let’s walk through the issue and how to resolve it. Problem Overview: In your module, you may have registered several models, but a model might be missing from the service’s constructor injection, leading to a runtime error. Solution: Add @InjectModel() Decorator To properly inject the model, ensure you use the @InjectModel() decorator in the service constructor. Updated Code Example: generic.service.ts import { Injectable } from '@nestjs/common'; import { InjectModel } from '@nestjs/mongoose'; import { Model } from 'mongoose'; import { GenericEntity } from './schemas/generic-entity.schema'; import { AnotherEntity } from './schemas/another-entity.schema'; @I...

Xcode and iOS Version Mismatch: Troubleshooting "Incompatible Build Number" Errors

Have you ever encountered a frustrating error while trying to run your iOS app in Xcode, leaving you scratching your head? A common issue arises when your device's iOS version is too new for the Xcode version you're using. This often manifests as an "incompatible build number" error, and looks like this: DVTDeviceOperation: Encountered a build number "" that is incompatible with DVTBuildVersion. This usually happens when you are testing with beta versions of either iOS or Xcode, and can prevent Xcode from properly compiling your storyboards. Let's explore why this occurs and what you can do to resolve it. Why This Error Occurs The core problem lies in the mismatch between the iOS version on your test device and the Software Development Kit (SDK) supported by your Xcode installation. Xcode uses the SDK to understand how to build and run apps for specific iOS versions. When your device runs a newer iOS version than Xcode anticipates, Xcode mi...
