npm module error on 'inflight' when attempting to build semantic UI


I'm attempting to use the React Starter Kit with SemanticUI on Windows. I can install and build RSK, but when I run npm install semantic-ui and go through the set up, I always hit the same module error and I am unsure how to solve it.

gulp build
module.js:341
throw err;
^

Error: Cannot find module 'inflight'
at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:339:15)

I have tried nuking the directory and reinstalling multiple times, but I am unable to get this to work. What is causing the issue?


Solution

  • You may be hitting the same issues people are having on npm 2701. The issue appears to be related to version updates between installing NPM modules (from a quick read over the later parts of the report). Suggestions include running:

    npm set registry https://registry.npmjs.org/
    

    And alternatively, removing all currently installed node modules including globally installed modules (in /usr/node-modules/ or C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules for example). The user deleted them manually (i.e. not using npm).
