NPM install error - code EINVALIDTAGNAME

[arazumov101]

Hello,

SAP HANA EXPRESS 2.0 SPS 04 on-premise.

New project is created using SAP Cloud Platform Business Application.

An attempt to Build CDS based on .cds files in db and srv folders ends with an npm install error.

npm install

npm ERR! code EINVALIDTAGNAME

npm ERR! Invalid tag name "^": Tags may not have any characters that encodeURIComponent encodes.

The content of package.json file:

{

"name": "deploy",

"dependencies": {

"@sap/hdi-deploy": "^3.8.2"

},

"engines": {

"node": "^8"

},

"scripts": {

"postinstall": "node .build.js",

"start": "node node_modules/@sap/hdi-deploy/deploy.js"

}

}

Thank you in advance!

Hello,

I'm having similar problem during build-process of db-module in mta-Application:

https://answers.sap.com/questions/12985076/build-db-module-failed-at-the-deploy.html

I just deleted the postinstall-row in the package.json and the build process was successful. I don't know if this is the right choice and it surely don't solve the root cause but as a start ...
