I'm curious about the origins of the "readme" field within the artifact registry file

Within our private npm registry on Azure, we house our own npm package alongside the npmjs packages. One particular package, @typescript-eslint/parser, has caused our pipelines to fail during the npm install task due to a

We have observed that the description file for this package includes a readme field, greatly increasing its size (the @typescript-eslint%2fparser description JSON is 5.5MB, with the readme field removed it is only 1.5MB). Is this field automatically added by the Azure registry, included by the package author, or another source altogether?

Is there a way to remove this field from the package description file?

Answer №1

The error mentioned above might occur due to a cache issue or a corrupted package-lock.json file.

To troubleshoot, you can start by executing the command npm cache clean --force before installing the package using npm.

npm cache clean --force
npm install -g @typescript-eslint/parser

If the problem persists, consider deleting the package-lock.json file.

If none of the previous solutions work, it's worth checking for any errors in the section where the ...odebase, don't forget is located within your package.
