Can't delete npm proxy

Question

In work I have a proxy and set this in npm

 npm config set proxy http://theproxy:8080
 npm config set https-proxy https://theproxy:8080

Out of work I don't have the proxy and need to remove it in npm.

I've tried

 npm config rm proxy
 npm config rm https-proxy

and

 npm config delete proxy
 npm config delete https-proxy

but when I use

 npm config get proxy
 npm config get https-proxy

the proxy is still there

How do I remove the proxy in npm

Answer 1

Below things worked for me, make sure environment variable HTTP_PROXY is unset before removing config entries

Unsetting HTTP_PROXY= is very important

set HTTP_PROXY=
npm config rm proxy
npm config rm https-proxy
npm config rm http-proxy

It works very well for me ..

saidas-mbp:trunk saidababuchanda$ npm config set proxy https://www.google.com
saidas-mbp:trunk saidababuchanda$ npm config get proxy 
https://www.google.com
saidas-mbp:trunk saidababuchanda$ npm config delete proxy 
saidas-mbp:trunk saidababuchanda$ 
saidas-mbp:trunk saidababuchanda$ npm config get proxy 
null
saidas-mbp:trunk saidababuchanda$ npm -v
1.4.14
saidas-mbp:trunk saidababuchanda$ 

Please look at your npm version
