Hi Experts,

With SAP Commerce 2011, when I try to run ant npminstall on platform, I get the following error:

Is there a way we can fix this error and do a successful npm installation.

Got the solution.

This is an issue with SAP Commerce 2011.16. This issue is primarily with MAC users.

Solution:

In the buildcallbacks.xml file of npmancillary extension, modify the line

<invokeNpm arguments="install --loglevel=error "/>

with

<invokeNpm arguments="install --loglevel=error --prefer-offline --no-audit"/>

It bypasses the problem, but since it is local MAC, it is okay to do so. It can also make the build 15 times faster.
