`npm audit` keeps returning “Your configured registry (https://registry.npmjs.org/) does not support audit requests.”. How do I make it work again?

Question

Here is the error I get:

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


        

Answer 1

I found that the answer given at https://npm.community/t/your-configured-registry-https-registry-npmjs-org-does-not-support-audit-requests/3600/6 worked, where none of the above answers helped:

delete your node_modules folder then try running npm install --> npm update --> npm audit

Answer 2

Try running npm update and then npm audit. This should fix the problem.

Answer 3

You could have it when in your package.json you have something like "PACKAGE_NAME": "github:USERNAME/PACAKGE_NAME", or any other different pattern rather than the typical one, i.e. "PACKAGE_NAME": "PACKAGE_VERSION".

Answer 4

First

npm install -g npm

then

npm audit

may solve your problem
