npm not working - “read ECONNRESET” when installing hdwallet-provider

Running:

npm install @truffle/hdwallet-provider

gives me ECONNRESET after being stuck on rollbackFailedOptional.

Already tried the first 2 solutions from here. Already tried running npm install again, this one is working properly.

Yes, I do have Web3 1.2.11, Node v14.3. I am running the command in a VSCode terminal, I have a stable internet connection.

What can I do to fix this?

Solution

  • A simple terminal reset was not enough.

    A clean restart of the laptop fixed it (shut down + power on). What happened is completely beyond me. Maybe this will help somebody else.
