NPM throws error on "audit fix" - Configured registry is not supported

Question

Since last night i'm getting the following error:

npm ERR! code ENOAUDIT
npm ERR! audit Your configured registry (https://registry.npmjs.org/) does not support audit requests.

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR!     /home/ransinha/.npm/_logs/2018-11-28T18_19_35_432Z-debug.log

I have not made any recent changes. https://github.com/verdaccio/verdaccio/issues/689 suggests changeing in config.yaml file. I don't see any config.yaml file in my folder. I'm not using verdaccio also. Not sure how to fix this. Any ideas?

Update: The npm audit shows the following:

                   === npm audit security report ===

what does npm audit show – Doublespace

Which Npm version do you use? – Pith

Answer 1

Based the more info link, you are advised to use [email protected]

To do this:

1, Delete the node_modules folder of flatmap-stream

2, Edit package-lock.json file, i think under ps_tree object and add/edit the dependencies as shown below:

"requires": {
    "event-stream": "~3.3.0"
},
"dependencies": {
    "event-stream": {
        "version": "3.3.4"
    }
}

Run npm install again, this should fix it

Answer 2

Delete package-lock.json and do npm i works for me.
