NPM: ENOENT: no such file or directory, rename

Question

I was using gulp on the project, then i decide to deleted all the dev dependencies to switch to webpack, but every time i try to install using npm is get this error:

<         


        

Answer 1

For me, package-lock.json was not created and script was failing before itself.

This fixed my issue:

- deleted my node_modules.
- npm cache clean 
- opened cmd as administrator at the repository folder
- logged-in to the https://registry.npmjs.org/ using username and passoward as few of my components needed authentication to install.
- npm i
