[Error Fix] NestJS: Solving the npm install --silent Error ๐Ÿ˜ฑ.

 

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

๐Ÿšจ “Failed to execute command: npm install — silent.” ๐Ÿšจ

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! ๐Ÿš€

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...

How to Fix the “Invariant Violation: TurboModuleRegistry.getEnforcing(…): ‘RNCWebView’ Could Not Be Found” Error in React Native

When working with React Native, especially when integrating additional libraries like react-native-signature-canvas , encountering errors can be frustrating. One such error is: Invariant Violation: TurboModuleRegistry. getEnforcing (...): 'RNCWebView' could not be found This error often occurs when the necessary dependencies for a module are not properly linked or when the environment you’re using doesn’t support the required native modules. Here’s a breakdown of how I encountered and resolved this issue. The Problem I was working on a React Native project where I needed to add the react-native-signature-canvas library to capture user signatures. The installation process seemed straightforward: Installed the package: npm install react-native-signature- canvas 2. Since react-native-signature-canvas depends on react-native-webview , I also installed the WebView package: npm install react- native -webview 3. I navigated to the iOS directory and ran: cd ios pod install Everythi...
