npm can not publish my module

Question

I am trying to publish my module to see how it works.

I installed npm and then created my very simple module.

I used npm add user to add myself as a new user. I received the following message: Logged in as david1994 on https://registry.npmjs.org/

Then I tried to publish my module with npm publish, but I got the following error:

npm ERR! code: 'EPERM',
npm ERR! syscall: 'open',
npm ERR! path: 'C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\node_modules\\npm\\node_modules\\supermodule\\npm-debug.log.1866747129' }

But I can not see any npm-debug.log in my module directory.

Answer 1

Possible it looks like a module with that name was already published by someone else, so you'd need to use a different name, or use a scope if you really want to keep the same name.

could you check that the name is not already taken by someone else, as well?
